The path of waterthen James Cameron dropped his rebuttal, three hours of beautiful, thundering water action (which grossed $2.3 billion worldwide). We can let Avatar3now subtitled Fire and ashwash over us. Or perhaps burn?

James Cameron was on hand at the 2024 D23 Expo on Friday to spread the good word about Avatar and update fans who know he’s taking way too long to finish these things. Yes, the third Avatar film is on track to meet its current release date of December 19, 2025.

Avatar: Fire and Ash finds most The path of water cast returns for another dive into the seas of Pandora. Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver and Stephen Lang, plus all the kids who played the Na’vi children.

Little else is known about the plot of Avatar: Fire and Ash Although Cameron teased at D23 that he’ll continue to traverse Pandora’s many biomes to encounter new clans of Na’vi .

And people are asking, why do we need more Avatar movies?
