Recently, Zoe has started acting in movies that aren’t part of big series, like Emilia Pérez. Even though she’s focusing more on these kinds of films, she’s still a big part of the Avatar series. Cameron’s support, not just in Avatar, but in her other movies, has made her experience working on high-tech films really special.
Cameron is currently in New Zealand, editing Avatar: Fire and Ash. This is a good sign that the movie is moving along and should be ready for its release in December 2025, even though the Avatar sequels have faced delays in the past.
Zoe is known for being in popular movie series like Avatar, Marvel, Star Trek, and Pirates of the Caribbean, but her new movie, Emilia Pérez differs from anything she’s done before. It’s exciting to see her win awards for it, and it’s nice to know that Cameron supports her other acting projects too. Their close bond makes fans even more excited to see where Zoe’s character, Neytiri, goes next in Avatar: Fire and Ash.
