#Headline Creation Challenge#One of the most amazing elements of the Avatar 2 movie is Sigourney Weaver's Kiri. So, how did the behind-the-scenes team of "Avatar 2" turn a female star in her 70s into a 14-year-old female Na'vi?
In the Avatar 2 movie, it has been revealed to us that Kiri has a strong connection with Ava, the god of the Na'vi, but her true identity remains a mystery. This mystery is expected to be revealed in the next "Avatar 3". In Avatar 2's new concept artwork, the film's lead character designer, Joseph C. Pepe, shows how Sigourney Weaver became Kiri.
On the artist's social account, he designed Kiri's work, which began as early as 2013. Sigourney Weaver and Cameron were also actively involved in the process. Not only that, but the artist even took a photo of Sigourney Weaver's youth to portray Kiri.
On the artist's social account, he wrote: "In the second half of 2013, I was asked to do a Kiri design for the Avatar sequel. I designed this character earlier than the rest because we knew Sigourney Weaver was returning to the Avatar series. I'm glad we have time. James Cameron, Sigourney Weaver and I shared reference images, as well as Weaver's personal images, to discuss and select our approach to her design. It was an incredible collaboration to be able to share thoughts and ideas about this character throughout the design process. ”
Interestingly, judging from the design pictures and even the appearance of Kiri in "Avatar 2", she does look a bit like Sigourney Weaver when she was young. At the beginning of "Avatar 2", it is revealed that Kiri was born to Grace's avatar body, but the identity of the father, if it really exists, remains a mystery. Throughout the film, it's clear that Kiri has a very unique connection with Ava, which actually gives her the unique ability to communicate and even control some of Pandora's plants and animals.
At the end of Avatar 2, the mystery remains unsolved. Luckily, Cameron's Avatar story will continue. Considering that "Avatar 2" raises a series of questions, this means that "Avatar 3" should have answers. However, for the character of Kiri, James Cameron said that "Avatar 4" will have a major change to the entire story. This seems to imply that Kiri will play a very important role in this movie.
However, considering that the story of "Avatar 2" is not as satisfactory as expected, it is curious whether "Avatar 3" will improve. After all, "Avatar 3" and "Avatar 2" were shot back-to-back, and it is unknown how much room for improvement there is. However, considering the box office of the second film, I believe that the "Avatar" series is still very worth looking forward to.
