James Cameron Unveils New Na'vi Clans in 'Avatar: Fire and Ash'

The upcoming sequel introduces the fierce Ash People and the nomadic Wind Traders, expanding the cultural tapestry of Pandora.

James Cameron's 'Avatar: Fire and Ash' is set to release in theaters on December 19, 2025, continuing the saga of Pandora and its inhabitants.
The film introduces two new Na'vi clans: the Ash People, a fire-based group led by Varang (played by Oona Chaplin), and the Wind Traders, a sky-dwelling, nomadic clan led by Peylak (played by David Thewlis).
The Ash People, also known as the Mangkwan, are portrayed as hardened and adversarial due to their history of hardship, offering a more nuanced perspective on Na'vi morality.
The Wind Traders, or Tlalim, are described as colorful, upbeat, and symbiotic with their flying jellyfish-like creatures, bringing a vibrant and dynamic energy to the story.
The RDA returns as a significant threat, with production designer Ben Procter teasing a climactic battle sequence that will surpass the scale of previous conflicts in the franchise.
