James Cameron has announced the title for the third film in the Avatar franchise: Avatar: Fire and Ash. The reveal came at the D23 Expo in California, with Zoe Saldaña and Sam Worthington present. The film is set to release on December 19, 2025.

At the expo, Cameron showcased concept art, including an image of Neytiri (Saldaña) dancing over flames and riding banshees. “You’ll see a lot more of Pandora that you never saw before,” Cameron teased. “It’s an insane adventure with high emotional stakes.”
