Q’orianka Kilcher has filed a lawsuit against filmmaker James Cameron and companies tied to the “Avatar” franchise, alleging her likeness was used without permission in the design of Neytiri.

The complaint alleges Cameron used a photograph of Kilcher from 2005 as a facial reference while developing the character, later portrayed by actress Zoe Saldaña in the film series.

The lawsuit references a signed note Cameron allegedly gave Kilcher in 2010, which read: “Your beauty was my early inspiration for Neytiri. Too bad you were shooting another movie. Next time.”

Kilcher, who is Quechua-Huachipaeri from the Madre de Dios region of Peru, is seeking damages tied to the franchise and pursuing claims under California’s deepfake law.
