Introducing our Esquire Qatar Winter 2025 cover star: visionary filmmaker, box-office record-breaker, and deep-sea diver James Cameron. . For this issue, Cameron discusses Avatar: Fire and Ash, the sea change happening in Hollywood, and the role of AI in the industry, and reveals what emerging filmmakers should and shouldn’t do when using this technology in the future. . “Losing someone you love, like Neytiri and Jake Sully at the end of Avatar 2, changes your life forever. Grief can be paralyzing, and that’s what happens with Neytiri at the beginning of Fire and Ash. My goal was to represent the human experience authentically: behind these big blue aliens lies a profound story about family and loss. It’s a film made by humans, for humans,” he tells Roberto Croci. . Read the full story on EsquireME.com .

Our @esquireqatar Autumn 2025 cover star is @itsjbr - the stylish superhero Doha didn’t know it needed. . With his masked persona and deep respect for culture, JBR is helping to evolve the boundaries of menswear and inspire a new generation of creatives. . “At first, I used the mask because I wanted to show the fit, not my face. But as I started to gain recognition, the mask became a way to have more freedom to do what I wanted. I started noticing that with the mask on, people wouldn’t criticise as much. Now, people I know call it the ‘superhero mask,’” he tells @mrpeaker . . Read the full story on EsquireME.com. .
