Which actor plays Colonel Miles Quaritch in Avatar: Fire and Ash?

Stephen Lang plays Colonel Miles Quaritch in Avatar: Fire and Ash. Quaritch is the former RDA military commander who serves as one of the Avatar saga's central antagonists.

Lang first portrayed Quaritch in Avatar (2009), where the character led the human military campaign against the Na'vi on Pandora. Although Quaritch was killed in that film, the sequels introduced Recombinants: Na'vi bodies carrying the memories and personalities of deceased human soldiers. This allows Lang to return as a version of the character while changing his physical form.

In the later story, Quaritch remains focused on pursuing Jake Sully and seeking revenge. His relationship with Miles “Spider” Socorro, his biological son, adds a more personal dimension to the military conflict.

The other options are characters from the same franchise. Matt Gerald plays Corporal Lyle Wainfleet, Brendan Cowell plays Mick Scoresby, and Sam Worthington plays Jake Sully—not Quaritch.
