Avatar 3 is only a few months away. Officially titled Avatar: Fire and Ash, the wait for James Cameron’s long-awaited follow-up to 2022’s The Way of Water is getting shorter by the day.
We’ve still got a little while until we find out more about our return to Pandora, but what we know so far means we can’t wait. For one thing, the director’s wife sobbed uncontrollably for hours after he showed her an early cut of the movie, so it looks like it’s going to tug on the heartstrings, to put it lightly. Plus, the threequel is set to be longer than its predecessors, so there’s even more blue-hued adventure to get stuck into.
We’ve got everything you need to know about one of this year’s most exciting upcoming movies, including the Avatar 3 release date, a list of every confirmed cast member, and quotes from Cameron about what to expect from the plot.
Avatar 3 release date
The Avatar 3 release date is December 19, 2025. That’s three years after Avatar: The Way of Water, and 16 years after the first Avatar. The threequel has been delayed nine times total, pushed back 10 years from its original 2015 release date.
Avatar 3 trailer: when will we get one?
With the movie still almost a year away, we’re unlikely to get a trailer for Avatar 3 for some time yet. The first Way of Water teaser debuted in May 2022, so we can expect Avatar 3 to follow a similar timeline and drop a trailer sometime this early summer.
The first trailer for Avatar 3 did play behind closed doors at CinemaCon, however, to raves from the audience.
Avatar 3 plot
So far, not much is known about the Avatar 3 plot just yet. The main thing we know is that we’re going to be introduced to the Ash People, AKA the Mangkwan Clan. They’re led by Varang, played by Oona Chaplin. “Varang is the leader of a people who have gone through an incredible hardship. She’s hardened by that,” director James Cameron told Empire magazine. “She will do anything for them, even things that we would consider to be evil.”
