Avatar: Fire and Ash is an upcoming American epicscience 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.[4] 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 film series.

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 3aiming for a December 2015 release.[5][6] 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.[7] Avatar: Fire and Ash started shooting simultaneously with Avatar: The Way of Water in New Zealand on September 25, 2017; filming completed in late December 2020, after over three years of shooting.
The film’s theatrical release has been subject to nine delays, with the latest occurring on June 13, 2023;[1][8] it is set to have its world premiere at Dolby Theatre, Hollywood, on December 1, 2025, and is scheduled for release in the United States on December 19.[1][4][9] Two additional sequels, Avatar 4 and Avatar 5, are in various stages of production and are expected to be released in 2029 and 2031, respectively.
