Jack Champion Says He Went '110%' to Embody Spider's Minimalist Look in Avatar: Fire and Ash

Now in theaters, the film is the franchise's longest chapter.

Overview

  • Champion says fully committing to Spider’s Na’vi-raised physicality made the minimalist costume workable on set.
  • He describes performing live-action scenes that had him rolling in mud and moving through foliage to capture the character’s mobility.
  • The actor filmed both The Way of Water (2022) and Fire and Ash as a teenager, years ahead of release.
  • Spider is a human who lives with Jake Sully and Neytiri’s family, with dreadlocks and a loincloth reflecting his upbringing.
  • Fire and Ash expands Spider’s presence, highlighting his connection with Kiri and a complicated relationship with Quaritch.
