The wait is over. The next “Avatar” from James Cameron is already in cinemas and is causing quite a stir. In North America, “Avatar: Fire and Ashes” earned $88 million during its premiere weekend, and when the holiday rush dies down, only then will the real crowds flock to theaters to catch up on the new release. However, comments and reviews after the screenings are already pouring in. For example, attention was paid to the kissing scene.
Film summary of 2025. Which titles are must-sees?
Sigourney Weaver reprises her role as Kiri. Let us recall that the 74-year-old actress played Dr. Grace in the first film, and then the teenage Kiri, a character born from Grace’s consciousness. Sigourney in Avatar has a kissing scene with Jack Champion, who plays Spider. Champion is 21 years old today.
Weaver noted that the scene required a lot of sensitivity due to the age difference between herself and Champion. As the actress explained: – Of course, I didn’t really intend to kiss Jack. Instead, a body double was used so that the scene could be performed safely.
James Cameron, the film’s director, asked Champion to choose who Weaver could kiss on set. The actress admitted that a wise approach to such a situation made it possible to maintain the authenticity of the scene. “I’m glad the scene survived because it felt so natural on screen,” Weaver says.
Weaver emphasized that this was the only scene in which she and Champion were filmed separately during the nearly three-year production process. The actress noted that Champion played the role of Spider wonderfully, bringing a lively and emotional element to the role.
