New 'Avatar: Fire and Ash' Trailer Reveals Na'vi Rift and Quaritch Alliance

The new footage underscores moral complexity ahead of the Dec. 19 theatrical release.

Overview

  • 20th Century Studios released a full trailer for James Cameron’s third Avatar film, advancing the marketing push for its Dec. 19, 2025 debut.
  • The trailer introduces the Mangkwan, or Ash Clan, led by Varang, whose pact with Col. Miles Quaritch sets up an intra-Na’vi conflict that threatens Pandora.
  • A brief sequence suggests humans may learn to breathe Pandora’s air, raising a new risk that extends beyond the clan war.
  • Footage emphasizes heavier emotional stakes for the Sully family following prior loss, reflecting Cameron’s stated focus on grief and the cycle of violence.
  • Worldbuilding expands with the fire-based Ash Clan and the aerial Wind Traders, as returning stars join newcomers including Oona Chaplin and David Thewlis; Cameron shot much of this entry alongside The Way of Water, with part of Avatar 4 already filmed.
