Ridley Scott turned down $20 million to make Terminator 3: "I couldn't do it. It's not my thing" Instead, Cameron directed the Arnold Schwarzenegger-led actioner True Lies, which was released in 1994. Next up for Cameron is Avatar 3 , officially titled Avatar: Fire and Ash. The next installment in his sci-fi epic franchise sees Jake, Neytiri, and their family come up against a new threat: the Ash People, a dangerous, volcano-dwelling Na'vi clan led by the ruthless Varang. New additions to the cast include Game of Thrones' Oona Chaplin as Varang and David Thewlis as Peylak, the Na'vi leader of the Wind Traders. Avatar: Fire and Ash arrives in theaters on December 19.
