Movies and TV

Lo'ak, portrayed by Britain Dalton, is a prominent character in James Cameron's science fiction film, Avatar: The Way of Water (2022). He is the second son of Jake Sully, the former human Marine who became Na'vi, and Neytiri, a Na'vi warrior and hunter. Lo'ak has older brother Neteyam and younger sister Tuk.

Lo'ak often feels overshadowed by his older brother, Neteyam, who is viewed as the responsible and favored son. This creates tension and a sense of rebellion within Lo'ak. He struggles to conform to Na'vi expectations and often finds himself in trouble due to his impulsive nature and desire to prove himself. This leads to conflict with his father, Jake, who is trying to protect his family.

After the Sully family is forced to flee their forest home due to the return of the RDA, Lo'ak grapples with adapting to the Metkayina clan's ocean-based lifestyle. He forms a close bond with Payakan, a Tulkun (whale-like sentient creature) who has been ostracized by his own kind, further isolating Lo'ak but also highlighting his empathy and willingness to embrace the outcast.
