New artwork for Avatar: Fire and Ash has been released.
Avatar: Fire and Ash will be released in United States theaters this coming December from 20th Century Studios. The third installment in the Avatar film franchise, Fire and Ash will once again be directed by James Cameron.
Empire Magazine has revealed some new artwork for Fire and Ash previewing Pandora’s Wind Traders.
Cameron said the Wind Traders, “They’re nomadic traders, equivalent to the camel caravans of the Spice Road back in the Middle Ages, And you know, they’re just fun. Like all Na’vi, they live in a symbiosis with their creatures…If you’ve got any nautical blood in your veins, you’ll want to be on [their] ship,”

What else did James Cameron say about Avatar: Fire and Ash?
Avatar: Fire and Ash will also introduce the ‘Ash Clan,’ who are led by a character named Varang, played by Oona Chaplin.
“Varang is the leader of a people who have gone through an incredible hardship. She’s hardened by that,” Cameron said. “She will do anything for them, even things that we would consider to be evil. One thing we wanted to do in this film is not be black-and-white simplistic. We’re trying to evolve beyond the ‘all humans are bad, all Na’vi are good’ paradigm.”
Cameron also said Chaplin is “so good” in Fire and Ash that he “didn’t quite appreciate how good her performance is until we got the Wētā animation back…She’s an enemy, an adversarial character, but [Chaplin] makes her feel so real and alive.”
Avatar: Fire and Ash will be released in United States theaters on December 19, 2025. Avatar 4 is currently dated for December 21, 2029, while Avatar 5 is expected to arrive on December 19, 2031.
