Cameron has also confirmed that 澳洲幸运5开🎃奖号码历史查询:Avatar 3 will be longer than its predecessors, so we're lookin📖g at a t🐟hree-and-a-half hour epic to tide us over while we wait for the fourth and fifth movies.

S🐷o, for everything you need to know about Avatar: Fire and Ash, head to the below. P♋raise Eywa!

Avatar 3 release date

The Avatar 3 release date is December 19, 2025. That's three years after Avatar: The Way of Water, and 16 years after the first Avatar. The threequel has been deꦰlayed nine times t🍌otal, pushed back 10 years from its original 2015 release date.

Avatar 3 trailer: when will we get one?

With the movie still almost a year away, we're unlikely to get a🎀 trailer for Avatar 3 for some time yet. The first Wa♚y of Water teaser debuted in May 2022, so we can expect Avatar 3 to follow a similar timeline and drop a trailer sometime this early summer.

The first trailer for Avatar 3 did 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:play behind cl🍸osed doors at CinemaCon, however, to raves from the audience.

Avatar 3 plot

So far, not much is known about the Avatar 3 plot just yet. The main thing we know is that we're going to be introduced to the Ash People, AKA the Mangkwan Clan. They're led by Varang, played by Oona Chaplin. "Varang is the leader of a people who have gone through an incredible hardship. She's hardened by that," 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:director James Cameron told . "She will d🅘o anything for them, even things th🌱at we would consider to be evil."

"One thing we wanted to🦋 do in this film is not be black-and-white simplistic," he added. "We're trying to evolve beyond the 'all humans are bad, all Na'vi are good' paꦇradigm."

As for what that hardship might be, production desi💧gner Dylan Cole has dropped some hints. "[The Mangkwan] had a natural disaster befall them, and that sort of helped shape their culture," he told . "So much of the world of Pandora is rich and vibrant and ✨full of life – this is just the exact opposite. They used to live not too dissimilarly to the Omatikaya from Avatar 1." You can see the first look at the Mangkwan's Ash Village below.

The Mangkwan wꦫere originally going to be introduced in Avatar: The Way of Water, but they ultimately decided to le🦩ave it for the threequel.

"In a nutshell, we had too many great ideas packed into act one of movie 2. The [film] was moving like a bullet train, and we weren’t drilling down enough on character. So I said, "Guys, we’ve got to split it.'," Cameron 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:told Empire.

Cameron also teased that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the movie will go to some une𝓀xpected places. "We're just starting to riff on it and twist it and turn it," he . "It's a tricky thing. We could be getting high on our own suꦡpply here, and everybody who looks at it goes, 'Fuck, that's not what I signed up for.' But if you're not making brave choices, you're wasting everybody’s time and money. That alone is not sufficient to create success, but it's necessary. You've got to break the mold every fricking time."

A first look at Neytiri has also been unveiled by Empire magazine, with Cameron calling Zoe Saldaña 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:"incandescent."

One thing it seems is for certain is that the movie won't contain any generative AI. An attendee at a Q&A event with Cameron in New Zealand 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:shared the following on Twitter: "澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:James Cameron revealed that Avatar: Fire and Ash will begin with a title card after the 20th Century and Lightstorm logos that 'no generat🎃ive AI was used in the making of this movie'."

We also know that the length will be akin to The Way of Water, since Cam✃eron has teased that the runtimes will be sim♚ilar, but A﷽vatar 3 is set to be a little bit longer. That means the ﷽threequel could be over three hours and 12 minutes long, though nothing has been confirmed just yet.

First reactions to the movie have been extremely positive, too, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:according to the director. "I've shown it to a few selected people and the feedback has been it's definitely the most emotional and maybe the best of the three so far," he told . Plus, Disney CEO Bob Iger has called an early cut 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:"absolutely breathtaking."
