Disney just dropped the first trailer for James Cameron’s third “Avatar” film, officially titled “Avatar: Fire and Ash.” You’ll have to mark your calendar for December 19, 2025—yeah, another long wait, three years after “The Way of Water” hit theatres.
Like how “The Way of Water” introduced everyone to the Metkayina clan swimming around Pandora, this new movie drags us into the world of the Ash People.
At the 2024 D23 Expo, Cameron stepped up and gave everyone a sneak peek: the teaser showed a tribe covered in soot, dancing like something out of a fever dream around a giant fire pit.
This time, Cameron promises we’re getting a look at parts of Pandora that have never seen the light of day. He called it “an insane adventure and a feast for the eyes,” but also warned that the emotional stakes are through the roof—think bigger, riskier, way more intense for all the returning characters.

You’ve got the usual crew back—Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Kate Winslet, Cliff Curtis, and the rest. Oona Chaplin jumps in as Varang, the Ash People’s leader, and you’ve got David Thewlis and Michelle Yeoh joining the cast, so it’s a stacked lineup.

From what the trailer shows, Jake Sully’s family and the Metkayina team up to take on Varang and her fire-wielding forces, who’ve teamed up with Quaritch (that’s Lang, back for more). Varang seems to have some terrifying control over fire, torching big stretches of Pandora’s forests. The trailer closes with her dropping, “Your goddess has no dominion here.” Not exactly subtle.
Fun fact: “The Way of Water” and “Fire and Ash” actually started out as one mega-movie, but Cameron split them up once he dove into writing and realized just how huge the story could get.
He teased that the Ash People are way more brutal and ambitious than either the Metkayina or the Omaticaya clans.
