AvatarTheWayOfWater star Stephen Lang explains why Quaritch agreed to become the thing he hates and participate in the Recom program.
Over a decade since the release of Avatar, James Cameron is taking audiences back to Pandora in Avatar: The Way of Water. The Resources Development Administration left defeated in 2009, but now they're returning to the moon and they're bringing reinforcements. One of the RDA’s new tactics is to use an elite team of soldiers known as Recombinants, deceased RDA soldiers in avatar bodies. That's how Stephen Lang's Colonel Miles Quaritch returns.
PERRI NEMIROFF: What was your very first reaction when Jim pitched your return in this movie? Did you ever see that coming or was it completely out of left field? LANG: First of all, it's all a hypothetical to him. This is an exercise to him. It's like Parker Selfridge [played by Giovanni Ribisi] said, "Oh yeah, we got to do this thing. You got to make this thing." And I'm gonna go, "What? What's the point? It's a waste of my time. I'm gonna go out there, I'm gonna get the [job] ..." "No, no, no, no. You got to do this, Miles, because it's company policy, all right? I mean, read your contract.
But obviously, there are changes, and those changes are somewhat mysterious because [of] what it is; it's the DNA, it's the way of water [that] has entered into him, as well. So there are things happening to him that he can't account for and he's not really used to. This is a guy who lived his life in straight lines. Those lines are now getting real sinewy.
