20th Century Studios has finally shared the first official trailer for Avatar: Fire and Ash after its exclusive debut in theaters last weekend.

The first trailer for the long-awaited sequel to Avatar: The Way of Water (get our review for that here!) shows off the returning cast of Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), Na’vi warrior Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña), and the Sully family, as well as newcomers, new areas, and more action.

Fans of bleeding edge computer graphics will delight in the new trailer, as its brimming with cutting-edge motion capturing (including the first underwater captured scenes), sweeping set pieces, and a possibly conclusion to first film trilogy.

Details on the new film plot are scant though we do know it will introduce the new “Ash People”, led by Oona Chaplin as their leader, Varang. David Thewlis and Michelle Yeoh are also new additions to the cast. The previous film similarly introduced the new and aquatic Metkayina clan.

Some minor (((SPOILERS))) from the first two films are teased in the threequel, chiefly that the new Ash clan is allying with the reincarnated Stephen Lang, with a big war erupting between them and both the Sully family and the Metkayina.=

Here’s the synopsis for the new film, plus official trailer:

With “Avatar: Fire and Ash,” James Cameron takes audiences back to Pandora in an immersive new adventure with Marine turned Na’vi leader Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), Na’vi warrior Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña), and the Sully family. The film, which has a screenplay by James Cameron & Rick Jaffa & Amanda Silver, and a story by James Cameron & Rick Jaffa & Amanda Silver & Josh Friedman & Shane Salerno, also stars Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Oona Chaplin, Cliff Curtis, Britain Dalton, Trinity Bliss, Jack Champion, Bailey Bass and Kate Winslet.

It’s worth noting the third Avatar film actually has at least 2 more sequels planned – with director James Cameron previously teasing Stephen Lang as the primary antagonist in all four of the first films.

Avatar: Fire and Ash is set to premiere on December 19th, 2025, exclusively in theaters.
