Landau also said "Earth is not just represented by the RDA [...] Just like you're defined by the choices you make in life, not all humans are bad. Not all Na'vi are good. And that's the case here on Earth. And we want to expose Neytiri to that."{{Cite web |last=Lussier |first=Germain |date=2022-12-07 |title=Avatar 5 Will Return to Earth, But That Leaked Title Is Wrong |url=https://gizmodo.com/avatar-5-plot-james-cameron-pandora-earth-jon-landau-1849854542 |access-date=2024-08-13 |website=Gizmodo |language=en-US |archive-date=February 3, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230203205420/https://gizmodo.com/avatar-5-plot-james-cameron-pandora-earth-jon-landau-1849854542 |url-status=live }}
