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.

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.

Avatar Fire and Ash trailer: James Cameron returns to Pandora in conflict, fans are left in awe of the stunning visuals
Avatar: Fire and Ash is one of the most anticipated films of the year. Fans of the Avatar franchise were in for a surprise when the trailer leaked a few hours before the official release. However, the makers have now released the official trailer of the third instalment of the epic sci-fi drama, which takes viewers back to Pandora. However, this time, the stakes are high as conflicts have turned the place into a battle for ultimate survival. Zoe Saldana in a still from the trailer of Avatar: Fire and Ash. Avatar Fire and Ash trailer The familiar faces can still be counted upon as the immersive new adventure is glimpsed in the trailer of the James Cameron directorial. Marine turned Na'vi leader Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) returns with Na'vi warrior Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña), and the rest of the Sully family for one final battle. Also included in the battle are their children Kiri (Sigourney Weaver) and Lo'ak (Britain Dalton). The trailer introduces breathtaking new visuals without really revealing plot points of what is to come. At the end, it is about the battle for one's own identity. Oona Chaplin is finally revealed in the trailer, playing the role of a female leader named Varang. But what can viewers expect from Avatar 3? Some clues were given by actor Jack Champion, who plays Spider.'I was very shocked by [Avatar 3]. It just takes a hard left turn, and that's not a bad thing. You think you know where it's going, but then a wrecking ball comes. So you're completely like, 'Oh wow, I never thought that would've happened.' You also see more regions of Pandora, and you get introduced to more cultures. So I think it's even better than Avatar 2. Collectively, they'll each get better,' he told The Hollywood Reporter in 2022. Fan reactions Reacting to the trailer, a fan commented, 'One thing we can count on; Avatar visual effects are always beautiful.' A fan said, 'Earth, Water and now Fire. Jake Sully looking like an action hero with everything he's been through.' Another said, "Amazing as always, Cameron keeps showing us why he is the master of sequels & visual storytelling. Can't forget the music by the legend himself, James Horner. He may no longer be with us, but his legacy lives on forever in our hearts. RIP." A comment read, 'As soon as the destruction of home tree music played, I knew this movie is gonna be INCREDIBLE.' 'Even after 16 years since the first Avatar film was released, it still looks the same as the first one, and I still get shivers when I think about the Avatar world,' read another comment. Avatar: Fire and Ash is set to release in theatres on December 19.

While fans' reviews on Avatar: Fire and Ash trailer are all over the Internet, prompts citing, 'This media has been disabled in response to a report by the copyright owner", are reflecting on top of videos containing visuals on Avatar 3.

Avatar 3 trailer is immaculate and overwhelming and I know we've got a masterpiece incoming. the only thing that sort-of makes me nervous is that I think for general audiences this teaser is very much going to play as 'just more The Way of Water stuff"— Houston Coley (@artwithinpod) July 25, 2025 The trailer, which was first shown to industry insiders at CinemaCon in April, returns audiences to the breathtaking world of Pandora. It introduces two new Na'vi clans –the Wind Traders and the Fire People. The Wind Traders are seen soaring through the skies in balloon-like airships, while their adversaries, the Fire People, command flying beasts into battle. A dramatic clash unfolds between the two tribes, with one Na'vi struck by a flaming arrow. In the trailer, Sam Worthington's Jake Sully is heard telling his wife Neytiri (played by Zoe Saldaña), 'We cannot live like this, baby. We cannot live with this hate." The storyline picks up after the events of Avatar: The Way of Water, which saw Jake and his family seek refuge with the Metkayina, an ocean-dwelling Na'vi clan, as they battled against the human-run Resources Development Administration (RDA). In this new chapter, the narrative shifts to a rift within the Na'vi themselves, as the Ash People – a rebellious faction – turn against Jake's tribe and their sacred traditions. With both Avatar (2009) and The Way of Water (2022) surpassing $2 billion at the global box office, the franchise already boasts the first and third highest-grossing films of all time. If Fire and Ash follows suit, Avatar could become the first film series with three entries each crossing the $2 billion mark. Avatar: Fire and Ash is slated to hit cinemas on December 19, 2025, with two additional sequels already scheduled for December 21, 2029 and December 19, 2031. view comments First Published: July 25, 2025, 21:38 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
