Avatar: The Way Of Water - 22 WTF Moments
20. Quaritch Is Now A Na'Vi Clone
Though the trailers confirmed that Colonel Quaritch (Stephen Lang) would be returning in Na'vi form, fans were curious to see precisely how he would be resurrected.
Well, it's revealed at the start of the movie that Quaritch is a Na'vi clone created by the RDA as "insurance" in case the "real" human one died.
The human Quaritch recorded a video to explain this to his clone mere hours before his climactic clash with the Na'vi at the end of the first film, while adding that an imprint of his memories was taken before leaving for the mission, which were then downloaded into the clone.
It's a mildly goofy way to resurrect Quaritch all things considered, but if that's the price for getting Stephen Lang back for more movies, then so be it.
