Directed by James, the third installment in the Avatar franchise is scheduled for a grand theatrical release on December 19, 2025. Fans have pinned high hopes on the sci-fi movie. Check out the LIVE updates on Avatar: Fire and Ash right here!

Not even a newfound interest in Na'vi power kinks can save "Fire and Ash" from just feeling like more "Avatar."

It's better than the second film — bolder and tighter — and still has its share of amazements. But the series no longer feels visually unprecedented.

Avatar: Fire and Ash has a 197-minute (3 hours 17 minutes) runtime, and this holiday release is expected to break its own record. As fans praise the ‘breathtaking visuals’, others complain about the repetitive overarching plot of the Avatar franchise. At the same time, the uniqueness of it all has kept fans on the edge of their seat.

The Ash People are led by Varang, portrayed by Oona Chaplin. Her character is expected to bring a more morally complex and darker portrayal of the Na’vi, who have previously been depicted as living in balance with nature. The film is rated PG-13 and runs for approximately three hours and 15 minutes.

It’s time to return to Pandora because James Cameron’s “Avatar: Fire and Ash” is here. The third “Avatar” movie has made $12 million in domestic previews at the box office. In international markets, it grossed $43.
