Directly asked if Payakan would return inside Avatar 3replied the producer, “Payakan returns.” Read his full comments below:
I always looked at Payakan as a bit of a Lassi. I mean, it’s like a story about a boy and his dog, and they’re both outside and they need each other. And I thought Payakan would be the character you described. At first people don’t see it. And we had to say that Payakan is a hero. When we asked people about heroes, Payakan was always on that list and included them, which was unusual.
Why Payakan is coming back in Avatar 3
Payakan was one of the biggest and most loved characters of the movie Avatar: The Waterway, his story is clearly not complete until the end of the sequel. before the events Avatar: The Waterway, Payakan was exiled by Tulkun for using violence against the outlawed manhunters, and does so again at the end of the sequel. But when the RDA begins a full-scale war against Pandora, it is unclear whether Tulkun will forgive Payakan for his past indiscretions and end his exile, or continue their commitment to pacifism.
Landau also confirmed this Scoresby returns Avatar 3, which means the ruthless hunter Payakan returns with a vengeance after surviving after cutting off his arm. In general, it was incredible for him Avatar franchise to bring back Payakan, who has become a die-hard fan favorite not only for his sympathetic and tragic backstory, but also for taking over the RDA and winning the thrilling third act of the sequel. Regardless of the trio, Payakan should be a valuable ally for the Na’vi. Avatar 3.
