‘How Did I Not Know This’ Game of Thrones Fans Discover Show’s Surprising Connection to Avatar: Fire and Ash

This year, many people are eagerly awaiting the release of James Cameron’s new movie, “Avatar: Fire and Ash.” The first trailer has been unveiled, and it showcases breathtaking visuals and introduces a new Na’vi tribe called the Mangkwan clan. This group interacts with Jake Sully and Neytiri’s family, leaving audiences in awe. However, it is Varang, the leader of the Ash People, who has some viewers noticing similarities to “Game of Thrones.

In the third film of the Avatar series, viewers will once again visit Pandora, where Sully’s family finds themselves in a new peril as they cross paths with the hostile Ash Clan, ruled by Varang, a formidable character who, unlike others, appears immune to fire. The cast for Avatar: Fire and Ash includes Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, Kate Winslet, David Thewlis, Jemaine Clement, Cliff Curtis, and Stephen Lang in a movie that could be one of the most spectacular films of the year. Interestingly, fans who have seen the trailer have noticed a resemblance between Varang and a queen from George R.R. Martin’s Game of Thrones.

Varang’s Voice Actor in Avatar: Fire and Ash Was Also in Game of Thrones

If you found yourself puzzling over the familiar face of the antagonist Varang in the latest trailer for Avatar: Fire and Ash, let me clear things up for you – Oona Chaplin is the actress portraying this character, who was also known as Talisa Maegyr from HBO’s popular fantasy series Game of Thrones. For those who might need a refresher, Talisa had a significant role in the show, but her story may not have been fully appreciated by some fans due to the character being underrated. In brief, Talisa developed a romantic relationship with Robb Stark and even became pregnant. However, their blissful union was cut short at the infamous Red Wedding scene where both characters tragically perished.

In ‘Game of Thrones,’ her death stood out as one of the most gruesome in the series, leaving fans reeling with shock due to the grotesque act that resulted in the loss of her unborn child as well. Contrastingly, Chaplin’s career beyond ‘Game of Thrones’ thrived, featuring roles in Netflix’s anthology series ‘Black Mirror,’ Kitty Trevelyan in BBC drama ‘The Crimson Field,’ and Zilpha Geary in the series ‘Taboo.’ Despite portraying remarkable characters, being the granddaughter of iconic English filmmaker and actor Charlie Chaplin might be her most noteworthy achievement.

In the upcoming movie “Avatar: Fire and Ash,” set to hit theaters on December 19, 2025, we’ll be venturing into a fresh landscape with the arrival of Varang and the Ash People, and a tone that seems significantly darker than before. This indicates an exciting new direction for the world of Pandora!
