New 'Avatar: Fire and Ash' trailer reveals dark backstory for the Ash People as the Sullys prepare for war

LOS ANGELES — The latest trailer for James Cameron’s third film in the “Avatar” series, “Avatar: Fire and Ash,” has been released, showcasing a breathtaking new glimpse of Pandora, highlighting fresh clans, settings, and creatures.

In this trailer, a member of the Ash People narrates, “The fire emerged from the mountain, scorching our forests. My people pleaded for aid, but Eywa did not respond.”

Viewers witness the Sully family uniting once more to face human threats and other dangers. Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña), a warrior and mother, is even adorned in the red and black hues traditional to the Ash People.

“What if every human being on Earth could live here without a mask? Then the Na’vi people will be gone,” says Jake Sully (Sam Worthington).

The new scenes introduce Miles “Spider” Socorro, a human who has discovered how to connect with Eywa and the Neural Network, enabling him to exist on Pandora without a mask. Spider even bonds with an aquatic creature using a neural queue, an organ prevalent among most Pandoran species.

Watch the trailer above for even more glimpses of the upcoming film.

Joining Worthington and Saldaña, the cast includes Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Oona Chaplin, Cliff Curtis, Joel David Moore, CCH Pounder, Edie Falco, David Thewlis, Jemaine Clement, Giovanni Ribisi, Britain Dalton, Jamie Flatters, Trinity Jo-Li Bliss, Jack Champion, Brendan Cowell, Bailey Bass, Filip Geljo, Duane Evans, Jr., and Kate Winslet.

The screenplay is co-written by James Cameron, Rick Jaffa, and Amanda Silver, with the story crafted by James Cameron, Rick Jaffa, Amanda Silver, Josh Friedman, and Shane Salerno.

“Avatar: Fire and Ash” premieres in theaters everywhere on December 19.

And, catch “Avatar: The Way of Water,” originally released in 2022 and grossing $2.3 billion worldwide, when it re-releases in theaters for one week beginning October 3.
