Avatar: Fire and Ash
Updated: 12/30/2025, 12:42:05 PM Wikipedia source
Avatar: Fire and Ash is a 2025 American epic science fiction film directed by James Cameron, who co-wrote the screenplay with Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver from a story the trio wrote with Josh Friedman and Shane Salerno. Distributed by 20th Century Studios and produced by Lightstorm Entertainment, it is the sequel to Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) and the third installment in the Avatar franchise. Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, and Kate Winslet reprise their roles from the previous films, with Oona Chaplin joining the cast. It once again follows the human-turned-Na'vi Jake Sully (Worthington) and his family in the planet Pandora, as they face the combined threat of the human RDA forces and the Mangkwan, a tribe of savage, warmongering Na'vi. Cameron, who had stated in mid-2006 that he would like to make sequels to Avatar (2009) if it was successful, announced the first two sequels in early 2010 following the success of the first film, with the then-untitled Avatar 3 aiming for a December 2015 release. However, the addition of two more sequels (four in total), and the development of new technology required to film performance capture scenes underwater, a feat never accomplished before, led to significant delays to allow the crew more time to work on the writing, pre-production, and visual effects. Avatar: Fire and Ash started shooting simultaneously with The Way of Water in New Zealand on September 25, 2017; filming completed in late December 2020, after over three years of shooting. With an estimated production budget of at least $350 million, it is one of the most expensive films ever made. The film is dedicated to editor John Refoua and producer Jon Landau, who died in 2023 and 2024, respectively. Avatar: Fire and Ash had its world premiere at Dolby Theatre, Hollywood, on December 1, 2025 and was released in the United States on December 19. The American Film Institute and the National Board of Review listed it among the top-ten films of 2025, and it received two nominations at the 83rd Golden Globe Awards, including Cinematic and Box Office Achievement. The film has grossed $762 million worldwide, making it the seventh-highest grossing film of 2025. Two additional sequels, Avatar 4 and Avatar 5, are in various stages of production and scheduled for 2029 and 2031, respectively, though Cameron has stated that their status is dependent on the box-office performance of Fire and Ash.
