James Cameron’s third Avatar film finally has a release date.
Disney
is a reporter focusing on film, TV, and pop culture. Before The Verge, he wrote about comic books, labor, race, and more at io9 and Gizmodo for almost five years.
At this year’s D23 Expo, James Cameron, Zoe Saldana, and Sam Worthington announced that Avatar: Fire and Ash will hit theaters on December 19th, 2025. Disney also revealed a new title card that makes it seem like the film will focus on Pandora being engulfed in flames.
Along with the title card, Disney showed off concept art of the film’s “Ash People” — a new, volcano-dwelling Na’vi clan Cameron has described as embodying the aliens’ darker and more destructive sides.
Though Cameron directed Fire and Ash, he’s indicated that he might not direct the fourth and fifth installments of the franchise. Disney hasn’t released any footage, but Cameron teased that while the film’s probably not what audiences are expecting, it’s “definitely” going to be something they want.
