The highly anticipated first trailer for James Cameron’s Avatar: Fire and Ashes, the third instalment in the iconic Avatar franchise, was unveiled at Cinemakan, where an audience of cinema owners was present.
In contrast to other sequels that faced delays, this film’s production has been smooth, as Cameron filmed it concurrently with other projects, ensuring its timely release.
The trailer teases new Na’vi tribes, including the “Wind Traders”—a peaceful group that navigates the cosmos in balloon-like vessels—and the “Fire People.” It opens with a thrilling aerial battle where a fiery arrow strikes and kills a Na’vi.
Set after the events of The Way of Water, the story picks up the narrative as Zoe Saldana, who introduces the trailer, explains that the “Fire People” are the Na’vi who turned their back on Eva.
Cameron, who joined the trailer screening via video, mentioned that he’s still working on finalizing the film in New Zealand. Avatar: Fire and Ashes is slated for release on December 19, 2025, and experts predict it could surpass the box office earnings of its predecessors.
