James Cameron will be welcoming back onto Pandora at Christmas and reminding everyone that while his epic sci-fi franchise leaves a light touch on the culture, it carries an almighty box-office appeal in the moment. Five billion dollars’ worth, so far. So what to expect from number 3? The introduction of the planet’s Ash People, a return for Quaritch (is the hardass Colonel joining the goodies this time?) and a couple of new faces in Oona Chaplin and David Thewlis. One thing’s certain: Sully (Sam Worthington), Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña) and their young Na’vi family will be in a tonne of peril once again.
