Avatar 3 has an official title: it will be called Avatar: Fire and Ash, the new chapter of the famous film saga directed by James Cameron, who announced the name of the third film during D23.
Cameron took the stage at the Disney event alongside actors Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana, who play Jake Sully and Neytiri, respectively, in the series, saying that Avatar: Fire and Ash “will not be what you expect, but what you want,” whatever that means.
“I can’t wait to show you what we’re doing with Avatar,” the director said. “Every day when I look back at the new footage, it’s like Christmas morning because it’s so amazing. The characters are so alive, it’s so real.”
“As you might expect, this is going to be a fantastic adventure with more emotional moments than ever before. We’ll be moving through difficult territories, with new characters, and one in particular you’ll love to hate. We’ll be seeing new cultures, environments, and biomes on Pandora.”
Cameron finally said that it is still too early to present a trailer for the film, and so he showed the D23 audience the teaser image that you can see below, which reports the official title of the film, Avatar: Fire and Ash.
No delay
The film is currently shooting in New Zealand and production has not suffered any delays, so James Cameron was able to confirm at D23 that the release date for Avatar: Fire and Ash is set for December 19, 2025.
The fire in the film’s title, which can also be seen in the teaser image, will apparently play a central role in the new chapter, but there are no further details about it at the moment: we’ll have to wait and see.
