Tickets for James Cameron's Avatar: Fire and Ash went on sale earlier today, and Disney shared a plethora of new teasers, featurettes and posters to accompany the announcement.
A final trailer was set to be released later on during Monday Night Football, but 20th Century Studios has now jumped the gun and posted the footage to its X account (we're not sure if it'll stay up, but we'll update with the official version as soon as it becomes available).
This latest preview of the sci-fi threequel begins with a recap of certain events from the previous films, before we catch up with Jake, Neytiri and the surviving members of the Sully clan as they face a potentially devastating threat from another Na'vi: Varang (Game of Thrones alum Oona Chaplain), the ruthless leader of the Ash People, aka the Mangkwan Clan.
Cameron has previously said of the character: "Varang is the leader of a people who have gone through an incredible hardship. She's hardened by that. She will do anything for them, even things that we would consider to be evil."
Check out the trailer at the link below, along with another new poster.
We recently learned that Avatar: Fire and Ash will clock-in at 3 hours, 15 minutes, making it the longest movie in the franchise so far. 2009's Avatar ran for 2 hours, 42 minutes, while 2022's The Way of Water was 3 hours, 12 minutes.
Though these movies definitely have their detractors, the first two films were massively successful at the box office, and we fully expect Fire and Ash to follow suit this December - especially as it's now been confirmed that the first trailer for Avengers: Doomsday will screen ahead of the movie.
Avatar 3 will see the return of cast members Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Stephen Lang, Sigourney Weaver, Joel David Moore, CCH Pounder, Giovanni Ribisi, Dileep Rao, Matt Gerald, Kate Winslet, Cliff Curtis, Edie Falco, Brendan Cowell, Jemaine Clement, Britain Dalton, Trinity Jo-Li Bliss, Jack Champion, Bailey Bass, Filip Geljo and Duane Evans, with David Thewlis also on board as a new character named Paylak.
Fire and Ash has been hit with numerous delays, but is finally set to release in theaters on December 19. Two additional sequels, the still untitled Avatar 4 and Avatar 5, are in various stages of production and are expected to be released in 2029 and 2031, respectively.
