Everything we know so far

The technology that made the first ‘Avatar’ sequel possible took 13 years to become available, despite its massive success. However, time seems set and the three sequels will arrive much faster. ‘Avatar 3’ (or ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’, its final title) has a date, plot, and other details that continue the story from ‘Avatar 2’. Our current knowledge is this.

When is ‘Avatar 3’ out?
The original date was December 20, 2024, but it will now be December 19, 2025. After shooting simultaneously with the second film in New Zealand, the film is nearly finished, and post-production (and editing, though Cameron denies having nine hours of material) awaits.

The final title of ‘Avatar 3’?
One of the production’s biggest unknowns until recently. The tentative name was ‘Avatar: The Seed Bearer’, but ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’ was chosen. No posters, images, or trailers yet, but a title image.

It appears this will not be the norm. We know the next installments will jump in time and take place on Earth, so this third one may be the end of the Sully story.

The most notable actors joining the cast are Michelle Yeoh (‘Everything at Once, Everywhere’), Oona Chaplin (Talisa in ‘Game of Thrones’) as Varang, leader of the new Na’vi tribe, and David Thewlis (‘Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban’), but their roles in this third part are unknown. Michelle Rodriguez will not return.

Does James Cameron still direct ‘Avatar 3’?
Of course. James Cameron will direct the third film, but the script will change most. In collaboration with Cameron, Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver wrote the second part. Shane Salermo, who co-wrote ‘Avatar 2’ and ‘Savages’, a forgotten Oliver Stone film from a decade ago, co-wrote the third part. He has a team of television scriptwriters who helped him reduce 1,300 pages of notes to 800 pages of script for the second part.

Since Cameron has said he wants to train someone to direct after the third installment, it is unclear if he will continue. “We have written up to the fifth film, and I have ideas for the sixth and seventh, but I will probably pass the baton then. Death will find me. We enjoy our work. We love it. Great people work here.”

Avatar 3 began filming in New Zealand on September 25, 2017, alongside Avatar 2. Filming ended in late December 2020, three years later. It received tax breaks for shooting there, a Wellington world premiere, and $500 million in New Zealand production.

The pandemic occasionally halted production, but the New Zealand government granted the crew a visa-only permit to resume filming in 2020, making the second and third Avatar films the first Hollywood films to resume filming. The film is estimated to cost $250 million.
