'Avatar: Fire and Ash' Trailer Drops, Teasing a Thrilling New Chapter

Disney just unveiled the first trailer for Avatar: Fire and Ash, the third movie in James Cameron’s epic Avatar series, hitting theaters December 19, 2025. Fans got their first glimpse in theaters before The Fantastic Four: First Steps on July 25, 2025, and it’s already creating a buzz.

The trailer shows a darker, more intense Pandora with new Na’vi tribes and bigger conflicts.

The spotlight’s on the Ash People, a tough Na’vi clan led by Varang, played by Oona Chaplin. She’s a fierce leader shaped by her tribe’s harsh volcanic home, and her choices challenge Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) and Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña) in ways that blur the line between right and wrong.

Cameron says this film moves away from the simple “humans bad, Na’vi good” story, showing Varang as a complex figure who does questionable things to protect her people.
