The third installment in James Cameron's "Avatar" saga bows in theaters this December and the trailer for the threequel just released online. This time, it's Na'vi vs. Na'vi as we learn the members of the Ash clan aren't as friendly as their brethren from Pandora. You can watch the trailer below.
We see two new Na'vi tribes in the trailer: the Wind Traders and the Ash People clan, the latter of whom seem to represent most of the menace in the film. We see the Ash People using fire as a weapon, with one of the aliens even seeming to be able to wield it on her bare hands without hurting herself.

If "Avatar: Fire and Ash" performs similarly to its predecessors, Cameron and Disney are in for a windfall. The first "Avatar" was released in 2009 and made an incredible $2.9 billion.
The first sequel, 2022's "Avatar: The Way of Water," earned $2.3 billion.
According to Cameron, fans are in for a very emotional threequel. Speaking to Empire in March, James Cameron said, "My wife watched the whole thing from end to end — she had kept herself away from it and I wasn't showing her bits and pieces as we went along. This was December 22nd. She bawled for four hours."

"She kept trying to get her s--t back together so she could tell me specific reactions, and then she'd just tear up and start crying again. Finally, I'm like, 'Honey, I've got to go to bed. Sorry, we'll talk about it some other time.'"
"Avatar: Fire and Ash" hits theaters December 19, 2025. The film is directed by James Cameron and written by Cameron, Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver. "Avatar: Fire and Ash" Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Kate Winslet, Cliff Curtis, Britain Dalton, Jack Champion, Trinity Jo-Li Bliss, Bailey Bass, Joel David Moore, Edie Falco, Dileep Rao, Oona Chaplin, David Thewlis and Michelle Yeoh.

Trisha Paytas's Response To Baby Theories Goes Viral
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The YouTuber Trisha Paytas has responded after the social media was flooded with viral videos about the so-called Trisha Paytas baby theory. Paytas' video has already been viewed more than six million times. Newsweek has contacted Paytas for comment. What Is The Trisha Paytas Baby Theory? The original social media theory emerged in September 2022 when Queen Elizabeth II died at the age of 96. Trisha Paytas poses at The Entertainment Community Fund Opening Night of "Trisha Paytas' Big Broadway Dream" on Broadway at The St. James Theater on February 3, 2025, in New York City. Trisha Paytas poses at The Entertainment Community Fund Opening Night of "Trisha Paytas' Big Broadway Dream" on Broadway at The St. James Theater on February 3, 2025, in New York the time, social media users took note that in the hours that preceded the death of the longest-reigning monarch in British history, Paytas—a nonbinary YouTube sensation—had announced that they had gone into labor with their first child. Then, social media users decided that Paytas' child was the reincarnation of the monarch. This theory has only continued gaining traction over the years. When Paytas announced their third pregnancy, it coincided with the announcement that Pope Francis had died, sparking theories that their child would be the reincarnation of the pope. Paytas, addressing the theory on her podcast at the time, said, "I just don't get it." Then, the theory entered a new era when Paytas announced that their third child had been born. Paytas announced the birth of their son, Aquaman Moses, on July 12, 2025. The announcement coincided with news of the death of heavy metal legend and Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne, leading social media users to believe that Paytas' new baby is the reincarnation of Osbourne. What To Know On July 28, Paytas shared a video on TikTok addressing the rumors. The video has the text overlay "What plays in my head 12 days postpartum and the internet won't stop with the reincarnation conspiracies," and is set to the song "Crazy Train," Osbourne's debut solo single, which was released in 1987. The TikTok is captioned, "my baby is just a baby y'all," and as of press time, has been liked over a million times. Paytas shares their children with Moses Hacmon. The two welcomed a daughter named Malibu Barbie, who was born in 2022. They later welcomed their second child, a daughter named Elvis, on May 24, 2024. Their third child, Aquaman Moses, was born on July 12, 2025. Paytas announced his birth in an Instagram post on July 22. What People Are Saying Indigo Stafford, the entertainment journalist who runs the pop culture news page IndigoReports, previously told Newsweek: " I think the internet is so obsessed with this theory because of how invested we are in Trisha Paytas as fans. She has become an internet sensation and almost a head of state for the chronically online (people who consume a lot of social media). She is known for being her real, raw, and authentic self online. And people love her unfiltered sense of dark humour. And that's ultimately what the Trisha Paytas baby conspiracy is! It's a bit of online dark humour that's possibly gone too far, but that brings us some light relief in uncertain times – just like Trisha does." What's Next Paytas recently shared on her podcast, Just Trish, that she will not be having more children.

Hysterics As Dog Tries To Protect Owner From Wolf Statue
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. In a viral TikTok video, a New York City pup stands up for his owner against what he thinks is a dangerous predator, and internet users can't cope with the heartwarming footage. The post shared on Thursday under the username @konathelab5, shows the yellow Labrador retriever walking on a leash with his owner as they encounter the statue of a very realistic-looking wolf along the way. The pup is immediately suspicious, and he stares the wolf down and smells it, before finally barking and lunging at him as warning him not to go near his owner. "My dog trying to protect me from the wolf statue," reads layover text in the clip. "Must protect my little mum!!" the caption says. Most pups love their owners unconditionally, but not all of them are able to protect you like the one in the clip. Badger Veterinary Hospital Cambridge says that, when selecting a guard dog for your family, you should consider factors such as compatibility with children, energy levels, trainability, and temperament. The best breeds for this purpose are probably German shepherds. They are loyal, intelligent, and easily trained, making them excellent family guardians. Next on the list are rottweilers, naturally wary and highly intelligent but can be loving with proper training and socialization. Doberman pinschers are loyal, athletic, and protective but need daily exercise and early obedience training. Boxers are playful and friendly with a protective instinct, though they require plenty of activity. Other great guardian pups include Bernese mountain dogs, which are gentle and alert watchdogs, ideal for families with kids but need regular grooming; and giant schnauzers, a large, loyal breed that is good with children if raised alongside them. Great Danes, Great Pyrenees, Saint Bernards, and bullmastiffs are also great choices when it comes to personal protection. For guidance on choosing the right breed for your family, consult your veterinarian or dog trainer. Stock image: A yellow Labrador retriever barks in the park.

One user, Thoseinperil, commented: "We all laugh but imagine how freaky uncanny valley must be to dogs who don't even know what that is." Emma Dailey posted: "We don't want any problems sir but I WILL solve one of it arises …" RealKatieWilliams added: "Now give him a pat on the head and tell him he's a good boy for protecting mom."
