First Avatar 3 trailer introduces Varang, a deadly Na'vi villain in Fire and Ash
Releasing on December 19, Fire and Ash shifts the conflict from human invaders to a brutal internal war among the Na'vi themselves. The highlight of the trailer is the introduction of Varang, the franchise's first full-on Na'vi villain, voiced by Game of Thrones actress Oona Chaplin. As the fierce leader of the Ash Clan, Varang resides in the volcanic highlands and wears a haunting red-and-black headdress. In one chilling moment, she hisses at Kiri (Sigourney Weaver), 'Your goddess has no dominion here,' hinting at a deeper spiritual divide between Na'vi factions.
The trailer also reveals Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña), and their children navigating both familial bonds and escalating warfare. Lo'ak (Britain Dalton) continues to bond with Tsireya (Bailey Bass), while epic visuals of magma-filled landscapes, returning oceanic Tulkun, flying Ikran, and new jellyfish-like airships expand Pandora's mythology.
With Avatar and Way of Water grossing over $5.2 billion combined, expectations are high. Avatar: Fire and Ash is not just a sequel—it's a bold new direction for the franchise. Two more sequels are already in the works, with releases set for 2029 and 2031.

Billie Eilish surprised fans in Manchester by revealing she is working on a new 3D project with filmmaker James Cameron. The announcement came during her set at Co-op Live, where Cameron was present in the audience. 'So you may have noticed that there are more cameras than usual in here,' Eilish said to the crowd. 'Basically, I can't say much about it but what I can say is that I'm working on something very, very special with somebody named James Cameron and it's going to be in 3D. So, take that as you will and these four shows here in Manchester, you and me are part of a thing that I am making with him. He's in this audience somewhere, just saying. So don't mind that, and also I'll probably be wearing this exact outfit for like four days in a row.' While she didn't confirm details, speculation online points to a documentary, concert film or experimental video. Eilish previously released the 2021 documentary 'The World's a Little Blurry' and the concert film 'Happier Than Ever: A Love Letter to Los Angeles.' The Manchester concerts are part of her world tour in support of 'Hit Me Hard and Soft,' her third studio album. The tour began in September 2024 and includes stops across North America, Australia, Europe, and Japan, ending in San Francisco on November 23, 2025. This collaboration marks an intriguing fusion of pop music and cinematic storytelling, further establishing Eilish's creative range and Cameron's continued exploration of 3D formats.

Game of Thrones stars Sophie Turner and Kit Harington reunite as lovers in new horror film
Sophie Turner and Kit Harington, best known for playing siblings Sansa Stark and Jon Snow on Game of Thrones, reunite in the upcoming gothic horror film The Dreadful—but this time, as lovers. In a recent Vogue interview, Turner admitted the romantic scenes felt 'really weird' after portraying siblings for nearly a decade. 'We're doing a gothic horror… but we play lovers,' she said, adding, 'Sorry, guys. It's really weird for all of us.' Set during the 15th-century War of the Roses—a historical conflict that inspired Game of Thrones—The Dreadful follows Anne (Turner), a reclusive woman whose quiet life is disrupted when a man from her past (Harington) reappears, triggering dark events. Turner even suggested Harington for the role, telling The Sunday Times, 'You can't not have Kit.' Their casting adds extra meaning for longtime fans familiar with their on-screen history. Directed by Natasha Kermani (Lucky), The Dreadful also stars Marcia Gay Harden and Laurence O'Fuarain. The film wrapped last year and is expected to release later in 2025.
