Avatar: Fire and Ash – New Zealand trailer and release date
The war on Pandora heats up as the third Avatar film gets a thrilling new trailer/
We had to wait a while for Avatar: The Way of Water—13 years, in fact. That’s not the case with Avatar: Fire and Ash, which hits cinemas a mere three years after the last flick, with Avatar sequels set to continue until morale improves.
When is Avatar: Fire and Ash being released in New Zealand?
Avatar: Fire and Ash is screening in New Zealand cinemas from December 18, 2025.
What is Avatar: Fire and Ash about?
Following on immediately from the events of Avatar: The Way of Water, Avatar: Fire and Ash sees our big blue boy Jake and his found family of alien cat people continue their guerilla war against the human colonists o the RDA, while encountering a new and more warlike tribe of Na’vi, the “Ash People”. Other than that, details are a bit sketchy.
The cast of Avatar: Fire and Ash
Sam Worthington is Jake Sully, marine turned Na’vi freedom fighter; Zoe Saldaña is Neytiri, Jake’s wife; Sigourney Weaver is Kiri; Stephen Lang is Colonel Miles Quaritch, the villain of the piece; Oona Chaplin is Varang, the leader of the volcano-dwelling “Ash People” clan; Cliff Curtis is Tonowari, chief of the reef people; Britain Dalton is Lo’ak; Trinity Jo-Li Bliss is Tuktirey; Jack Champion is Spider; Kate Winslet is Ronal, Tonowari’s wife; Giovanni Ribisi is devious suit Parker Selfridge; Joel David Moore is Dr. Norm Spellman, scientist; Edie Falco is military commander General Frances Ardmore; and Brendan Cowell is Captain Mick Scoresby, asymmetrical space whale hunter.

Why we’re excited about Avatar: Fire and Ash
Is there another wholly original cinematic sci-fi epic to get excited about right now? James Cameron is one the greatest filmmakers of his generation, and easily the most technically accomplished—anything he does is worth a look. And given he seems committed to making Avatar sequels from now until the end of time, I guess we’ll be looking at Pandora a lot going forward.
