New Footage of Avatar: Fire and Ash Reveals Na'vi Allies and Foes

James Cameron has unveiled the first footage of Avatar: Fire and Ash during CinemaCon, hinting at an exciting narrative surrounding the Sully family as they confront both human invaders and the Ash People, a new adversarial group. The tantalizing preview showcased two distinct sequences along with a sizzle reel, immersing attendees in the rich culture and landscapes of Pandora. The introduction of the Tlalim clan, known as the Windtraders, adds a new layer to the lore, alongside the Ash People, who have turned against their deity due to volcanic devastation. Zoe Saldaña returned to the stage to promote this highly anticipated third installment, set to hit theaters on December 19, 2025, promising visually stunning action and emotional depth.

The Tlalim clan and the Mangkwan Clan, also known as the Ash People, introduce fresh dynamics to the story, with the Tlalim characterized as nomadic sky sailors, while the Ash People embody a darker narrative, having renounced their religious beliefs after their homeland was ravaged.

Avatar: Fire and Ash is the third film in the blockbuster Avatar series, which started with the original film released in 2009. Known for its groundbreaking visual effects and immersive world-building, the series has continued to expand its universe, enriching it with diverse cultures and species that inhabit the alien planet of Pandora.
