Avatar fans left 'hyped" by epic trailer of James Cameron's Avatar Fire And Ashes
Avatar Fire And Ash won't be hitting cinemas until later this year but the freshly unveiled trailer has already left fans absolutely "hyped".
Director James Cameron is once again at the helm with the third instalment in the spectacular action sci-fi franchise Avatar making its return to the big screen.
Avatar Fire And Ash will centre around Jake (played by Sam Worthington) and Neytiri (Zoe Saldana) once more, this time tracking their family as they wrestle with heartbreak following the death of Neteyam (Jamie Flatters).
They also encounter the hostile Na'vi tribe, known as the Ash People, commanded by the fierce Varang (Oona Chaplin), with tensions on Pandora reaching boiling point.
Fans have now been given the first trailer for Avatar Fire and Ash, offering a glimpse of what lies ahead.
From the breathtaking landscapes of Pandora to the Na'vi soaring through the heavens on their Mountain Banshees, the trailer once more delves into the magical realm that's been absent from cinema screens for the past three years.
It also unveils the Ash People's commander Varang, portrayed by Game of Thrones' Oona Chaplin, sporting an enormous red headdress and guiding her tribe into warfare.
Viewers have subsequently flocked to social media to share their enthusiasm about the trailer's debut.
One person posted: "Every frame in Avatar : Fire and Ash looks like a painting, these shots are insane, serving pure visual feast. Cinema is back."
Another concurred: "I don't know how someone can watch that Fire & Ash trailer and not be invested. Incredible visuals and storytelling. James Cameron."
A third branded it the "most hyped film of the year", whilst a fellow enthusiast wrote: "Avatar: Fire and Ash looks incredible.
"I know the haters will probably find this, but it's such an incredible thing to witness these movies on the big screen. I can't wait to see this saga unfold."
Teasing what supporters can anticipate from the upcoming instalment, Cameron revealed at the D23 Expo: "You'll see a lot more Pandora that you never saw before.
"It's an insane adventure and a feast for the eyes, but it's also got very high emotional stakes, more than ever before. We're going into really challenging territory for all the characters you know and love."

Woman who died for two minutes says she saw our ‘true home'
Hiyah Zaidi Published July 30, 2025 10:09am Link is copied Comments No one really knows what happens when we die. Some say we see a white light, others – pure nothingness. But Nicole Meeuws says she saw something different when she flatlined for two minutes, claiming she experienced 'the original home from which we all come from'. So, what did she see? (Picture: Nicole Meeuws/Facebook) When the 49-year-old artist from Greece underwent emergency surgery having sadly lost her baby, she says her body gave out. Nicole told Need To Know she felt herself pulled into a tunnel of light, something like a corridor that moved with her. She claims the air had weight and temperature, and sounded like music made of water – fluid, pulsing, and familiar (Picture: Nicole Meeuws/Facebook) But that wasn't all. Nicole said that she entered a glowing space filled with silver, soft violet, and deep, radiant blue. Everything around her pulsed gently like a heartbeat, and that's when she saw two blue-skinned beings with large indigo eyes, like those in the film Avatar, sitting on thrones that shimmered with energy (Picture: Nicole Meeuws/Facebook) She said: 'Their eyes were large and indigo, filled with kindness and recognition. They looked human, but had gentle gills on their cheeks. I remember seeing their fish-like tails, rather than legs, covered in scales. They were both male and female intertwined and didn't speak in words – but I understood everything they had to tell me' (Picture: Nicole Meeuws/Facebook) Nicole said they made her feel at home and told her, telepathically, that life is actually an illusion and we only start living when we die. She said: 'I felt more known than I had ever felt in my life; I didn't want to leave. I understood this place, this feeling, and I truly believe it was the original home from which we all come from. I learned that death is not an end, it's a return to our actual lives' (Picture: Nicole Meeuws/Facebook) Nicole believes that she wasn't meant to have children and her gift was to bring this memory of the other side back to Earth and help others. After a few minutes, but what she says felt like a lifetime, she was 'zapped' back into her physical body. Her husband, a specialist doctor, was with her but at first she could not speak – only emit a high-pitched, unfamiliar sound she compared to dolphin clicks, which she said was coming through her, describing it as overwhelming and completely beyond her control (Picture: Nicole Meeuws/Facebook) Now, she says she often has visions of the blue beings who greeted her on the other side, and believes they are from the Apkallu interdimensional tribe, which are non-alien creatures, also know as Demigods, that are said to have given civilisation to mankind. Nicole says they gave her a mission to spread the message that love is stronger than death. She said: 'Love will always win; it's where we came from. We're all one big family, regardless of boundaries, cultures, religion and politics. Everything that exists came from the same spark. The more we hold onto fear, hate and lies, the easier it is to control humanity. To create heaven on Earth, we must spend each day spreading love. I'm no longer afraid of death because I know what's waiting for me on the other side. It was a beginning, not an end' (Picture: Nicole Meeuws/Facebook) Your free newsletter guide to the best London has on offer, from drinks deals to restaurant reviews.

Fans rave over 'best antagonist in cinema history' in Avatar 3 trailer
The trailer for James Cameron's highly anticipated threequel Avatar: Fire and Ash has finally dropped online – and there are already huge fans of one new character in particular. Avatar 3 isn't scheduled to arrive in cinemas until December, but the filmmaker has created some early buzz for the next instalment in his epic big-budget sci-fi franchise. Shot back-to-back with 2022's Avatar: The Way of Water, Fire and Ash sees the return of a sprawling cast including Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, Kate Winslet, Stephen Lang, Jack Champion, Bailey Bass and Britain Dalton, plus new additions Oona Chaplin, Michelle Yeoh and David Thewlis. And it's Chaplin's Varang, the fiery and aggressive leader of the newly-introduced new Mangkwan clan (Ash People), who has excited a lot of fans after her scene-stealing appearance in the trailer. She's an intimidating figure in glimpses throughout, before her triumphant/terrifying moment at the end where she is seen warning Weaver's Kiri in menacing tones: 'Your goddess has no dominion here.' 'She's going to be one of the best antagonists of [sic] cinema history,' claimed one fan account after her fierce appearance in the trailer. 'She's gonna be such a sick villain,' added @NeekStreak, while @owenpratt93 observed: 'Varang already looks and feels like the best character of #AvatarFireAndAsh. The idea of a Na'vi who rejected Eywa is incredibly interesting, and this character oozes charisma even from just a few shots.' Another fan acknowledged they were 'losing their mind over Varang' while @MoFandoms commented: 'The way she said 'your goddess has no dominion here', I peed a little.' It comes after Cameron revealed the upcoming film's name and hinted at the antagonist at the D23 Disney fan event in California, which he appeared at last year August alongside Saldaña and Worthington. 'We're going into really challenging territory for all the characters that you know and love, and there are new characters – there's one especially, we think you're going to love, or maybe I should say love to hate!' he told the 12,000-stong audience, including Metro. He also promised that fans would get to see 'a lot more of Pandora that you never saw before' with new cultures, settings, creatures and biomes. 'Here's what I can tell you – the new film is not what you expect, but it's definitely what you want,' he concluded. Game of Thrones actress Chaplin, 39, is also the granddaughter of screen legend and comic Charlie Chaplin. She has also given a bit more insight into the 'unresolved trauma' of Varang and the Mangkwan after they were hit by a natural disaster, which caused her to shirk Pandora's spiritual entity, Eywa. 'She basically goes towards a different power, and tries to harness that, and in so doing kind of raises her people out of misery,' Chaplin explained to Empire magazine. 'It's easy to fall into the villain mentality, but actually she's the hero of her people because she's saved them out of misery and starvation and begging.' Avatar: Fire And Ash sees Jake (Worthington) and Neytiri's (Saldaña) family grappling with grief in the wake of the death of son Neteyam (Jamie Flatters) as conflict between the RDA and the Pandorans escalates after the Na'vi and Metikayina clan's hard-won victory at the end of Avatar: The Way of Water. The Mangkwan promise to bring more conflict too; Cameron first teased them in January 2023, saying that he was featuring 'different cultures from those I have already shown' and that he plans 'to show the Na'vi from another angle because, so far, I have only shown their good sides'. 'In the early films, there are very negative human examples and very positive Na'vi examples. In Avatar 3 we will do the opposite. We will also explore new worlds, while continuing the story of the main characters,' he explained to French publication 20 Minutes, via Total Film. 'I can say that the last parts will be the best. The others were an introduction, a way to set the table before serving the meal.' Had a sneak peek at the AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH trailer last night (in 3D) – and James Cameron has me convinced all over again. Phenomenal. Tremendous visuals, new antagonist Varang may become my next obsession. Nothing convinced me #Avatar 3 won't be bigger and better than the last — Tori Brazier (@dinotaur) July 23, 2025 I have seen the trailer for #AVATAR Fire and Ash, and it is as stunning as anyone is anticipating. James Cameron once again looks to be unleashing a powerful story that will resonate, and the visuals are (somehow) on another level. There is no doubt in my mind that this WILL be… — Austin Burke (@theBurk3nator) July 21, 2025 I just EXPERIENCED the #AvatarFireAndAsh trailer in glorious 3D. I'm breathless. Visuals expectedly surreal but man is the Ash People's landscape something to behold. Pandora Civil War loading. What a privilege it is to be alive during this revolutionary franchise. @screenrant — Liam (@LiamTCrowley) July 21, 2025 Journalists and tastemakers were previously lavishing the first proper look at Avatar: Fire and Ash with praise, after Disney secretly screened the trailer for them days ahead of its online release. 'As stunning as anyone is anticipating,' tweeted film critic Austin Burke, who also noted that 'the visuals are (somehow) on another level'. 'There is no doubt in my mind that this WILL be the biggest movie of 2025, and epic doesn't feel like it does this trailer justice…' Meanwhile, @TheOscarRace simply announced, 'It's going to be the best film of the year', while ScreenRant's @LiamTCrowley admitted he was 'breathless'. 'What a privilege it is to be alive during this revolutionary franchise,' he added. 'Nobody is touching Cameron visually. The next Avatar looks amazing,' posted Kit Stone. Others had exciting comparisons for the film on the strength of the first trailer alone. 'It's insane we're getting Last of the Mohicans meets like Empire Strikes Back!' suggested @MOVIEDEATHS. 'Giant action set pieces somehow the visuals look even better than Way of Water [sic].' More Trending Thanks to the success of Avatar: The Way of Water, which is currently the third highest grossing film ever behind the first Avatar – having made over $2.3million at the box office – we will also get Avatar 4 and 5. But not until December 2029 and December 2031, respectively. Avatar: Fire and Ash releases in cinemas on December 19, 2025. A version of this article was first published on July 23. Got a story?
