The first trailer for Avatar: Fire and Ash is breathtaking. What else did you expect?
In the previous two Avatar movies, the enemy has been the RDA. In Avatar: Fire and Ash, Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) and his family face off against the Ash People, an aggressive Na'vi tribe that is one with fire. It's similar to how the Metkayina tribe revolved around water. The Ash People are led by Varang (Oona Chaplin), who chillingly tells a captured Kiri, 'Your goddess has no dominion here.' The other Na'vi clan introduced in Fire and Ash is the peaceful Wind Traders.
Still grieving over the loss of her oldest child, Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña) has turned her sorrows into hatred. Jake knows the dangers of being fueled by rage. 'You cannot live like this, baby, in hate,' Jake tells Neytiri. The rest of the trailer previews the jaw-dropping footage of intense battles between the Na'vi clans and the RDA.
Additional cast members returning for Avatar 3 include Stephen Lang as Colonel Miles Quaritch, Giovanni Ribisi as Parker Selfridge, Kate Winslet as Ronal, Cliff Curtis as Tonowari, Britain Dalton as Lo'ak, Trinity Jo-Li Bliss as Tuktirey Tuk, Jack Champion as Miles Spider, and David Thewlis as Peylak.
Cameron returns to direct his third Avatar movie from a screenplay he cowrote with Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver. Cameron is a technical master, so the visuals in Avatar: Fire and Ash will be top-notch. However, Cameron has a gift for injecting emotional beats into his action epics. Cameron said his wife 'bawled for four hours' watching Avatar 3. Speaking of hours, Cameron mentioned that Fire and Ash is a 'little bit longer' than Way of Water, which carried a 192-minute runtime.
Avatar: Fire and Ash opens in theaters on December 19, 2025.

James Cameron wants to explore Avatar character backstories and moments between movies with an animated anthology series, and maybe even an animated film: "You could go anywhere you want"
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Avatar director James Cameron wants to make an animated anthology series that fills in some of the gaps between the franchise's movies, and he's already pitched it to Disney. "I said, 'Look, I want to do an animated anthology series that's essentially in the world, but stories that you wouldn't have expected from that world'", Cameron told Empire. "There might even be an animated feature in there – it might be a feature for streaming, or a theatrical feature." He continued, "A good early example is The Animatrix, where they went afield in the Matrix world. These are all great examples for how we can add texture and baroque detail to the world of Avatar." The first Avatar movie was released in 2009 and a sequel, Avatar: The Way of Water, followed in 2022. The series is set on the fictional moon of Pandora, inhabited by the Na'vi, which is being mined for a valuable mineral by human colonizers in order to fuel a dying planet Earth. Sam Worthington stars as Jake Sully, a human who chooses to permanently stay in his Na'vi avatar after falling in love with the Na'vi princess Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña), and the pair are raising a family in The Way of Water. Cameron said the animated stories could deliver "backstory on characters and tangential stuff that happened off-camera within the movies. Who first landed on Pandora? The first expedition. You could go anywhere you want." "We haven't done much with that yet," he added. "We're still gathering our stories and that sort of thing, and I've got to find the boutique filmmakers, the animators, that want to do it." Avatar 3, officially titled Avatar: Fire and Ash, is on the way, which sees Jake and Neytiri face new obstacles after settling with the coastal-dwelling Metkayina clan: the Ash People, an aggressive Na'vi tribe led by Varang (Oona Chaplin) – and allied with Colonel Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang). Avatar: Fire and Ash arrives in theaters on December 19. In the meantime, check out our guide to this year's other biggest upcoming movies. Solve the daily Crossword

Pamela Anderson Wears Over 20 Carats in Diamonds in a Rare Outing With Her Sons
She also rewore a sentimental diamond Gist Pamela Anderson wore a custom Thom Browne navy gown to the New York premiere of The Naked Gun on July 28. She paired the simple column dress with around 20 carats in Pandora diamonds. She also rewore a diamond brooch previously worn by her son to the Met Anderson is firmly in her elegant Hollywood star era. From her understated no makeup-makeup looks to her timeless, bouncy old Hollywood bob to her heavenly gowns, every recent red carpet appearance has been a masterclass in taste and style. Her latest looks is another example. For the July 28 premiere of her upcoming comedy action film The Naked Gun, Anderson was joined by her sons Brandon Thomas and Dylan Jagger Lee. She looked every inch the glamorous leading lady in a timeless midnight navy satin column dress with a sweeping boatneck—a custom creation by Thom Browne. She paired the dress with sheer netted lace gloves and a few pieces of megawatt jewelry—roughly 20 carats in Pandora diamonds to be precise. In a sweet, sentimental nod to her son Brandon, she also rewore the diamond brooch that he wore at this year's Met Gala while accompanying his mother. Anderson completed her look with a soft side-parted bob styled in swooping waves and her signature barely-there makeup. Anderson's look is only the latest in her streak of chic red carpet ensembles that spare no expense when it comes to the accessories. Just take her recent forest green plissé peplum gown, which she paired with $20,000 worth of diamonds, her simple purple gown paired with 15 carats of diamonds, or her magical silver-blue gown that she once again paired with diamond earrings. As Anderson recently told us at InStyle, a well put-together look gives her the confidence to rock the red carpet. 'I'm actually quite shy—I'm okay if I'm on a stage—but I'm really shy, and I'm trying to get better at that,' she said. 'It's been a journey, but if you're wearing great clothes, that's a good first [step] that builds your confidence.' Read the original article on InStyle Solve the daily Crossword

James Cameron Wants to Expand the World of AVATAR with an Animated Anthology Project — GeekTyrant
The world of Avatar might be expanding once again but this time in animated form. James Cameron, the mastermind behind Avatar and Avatar: The Way of Water , is eyeing a whole new medium to explore Pandora's rich mythology. While some fans are counting down the days until Avatar: Fire and Ash hits theaters this December, Cameron is already planting seeds for a potential animated anthology series that could dive deeper into the untold stories of his sci-fi universe. Speaking with Empire Magazine, Cameron revealed he's been talking with Disney about launching an Avatar animated project. He shared his vision saying: 'I said, 'Look, I want to do an animated anthology series that's essentially in the world, but stories that you wouldn't have expected from that world.' There might even be an animated feature in there – it might be a feature for streaming, or a theatrical feature. 'A good early example is The Animatrix, where they went afield in the Matrix world. These are all great examples for how we can add texture and baroque detail to the world of Avatar.' What Cameron's talking about sounds incredibly cool. He's not just thinking about rehashing the same characters or events. He wants to go wide with it. Deep cuts. Backstories. Side quests. The kind of lore expansions that fans eat up. 'Backstory on characters and tangential stuff that happened off-camera within the movies. Who first landed on Pandora? The first expedition. You could go anywhere you want.' Of course, this idea is still in early development and hasn't moved past the brainstorming phase. 'We haven't done much with that yet. We're still gathering our stories and that sort of thing, and I've got to find the boutique filmmakers, the animators, that want to do it.' So while there's no official greenlight yet, just knowing Cameron is serious about bringing more Avatar stories to life in animation is pretty cool an interesting. The franchise has already proven it has the depth and scale to support spin-offs and side stories, and animation could be the perfect playground for creative experimentation in the Avatar universe. In the meantime, fans can gear up for Avatar: Fire and Ash , which premieres in theaters on December 19, 2025. The film sees Sam Worthington return as Jake Sully, alongside Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Giovanni Ribisi, Kate Winslet, Cliff Curtis, Joel David Moore, Edi Falco, and more.
