During D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event we learned that AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH is the official name for the upcoming third film in the franchise and it’s set for release in theaters on December 19, 2025.

Here’s a look at what we learned during the Disney Entertainment Showcase at the 2024 D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event.

The announcements for Avatar came as part of the Disney Entertainment Showcase which was a sold out separately ticketed add-on for the D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event. The forever-fabulous fantastic fangirl Yvette Nicole Brown was the host for an evening filled with news and reveals from across Disney’s wide umbrella of properties.

The news for AVATAR included a welcome to franchise creator James Cameron (and brand new Disney Legend) to share details about the next chapter. Joined by AVATAR stars Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldaña, Cameron revealed for the first time the title of the third film in the remarkably successful “Avatar” franchise: “Avatar: Fire and Ash,” which takes audiences back to Pandora in an immersive new adventure with Marine turned Na’vi leader Jake Sully (Worthington), Na’vi warrior Neytiri (Saldaña) and the Sully family.

The film is directed by Cameron, the new film from 20th Century Studios and Lightstorm Entertainment also stars Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Kate Winslet, Cliff Curtis, Oona Chaplin, Jack Champion, Britain Dalton, Trinity Bliss and Bailey Bass.

AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH opens exclusively in theaters nationwide December 19, 2025.
