After years of anticipation, James Cameron is finally set to reopen the gates of Pandora.
The third chapter of the Avatar saga, officially titled “Avatar: Fire and Ash,” will hit theatres worldwide on December 19, with select territories releasing it a few days earlier.
As before, the film promises to deliver its full impact in 3D, IMAX and Dolby Cinema, reaffirming Cameron’s belief that spectacle belongs on the biggest screens possible.
The journey began in 2009 with Avatar — a film that didn’t just dominate the box office, but rewrote cinema history.
Grossing nearly $2.92 billion, it became the highest-grossing film of all time, dazzling audiences with revolutionary visual effects, immersive 3D technology and the lush, living world of Pandora.
Three Academy Awards followed, along with a cultural aftershock that lingered for years.
Thirteen years later came Avatar: The Way of Water (2022), a visually hypnotic return that plunged viewers into Pandora’s oceans.
The sequel earned $2.32 billion, securing its place as the third highest-grossing film ever and proving that Cameron’s universe had lost none of its pull.
Now comes the most dangerous chapter yet.
Fire and Ash will introduce a new, hostile Na’vi clan known as the Ash People, aligned with fire rather than nature’s harmony.
Cameron has hinted that the film will explore grief, rage and the darker instincts of the Na’vi themselves, complicating the moral universe of Pandora.
Early footage teases scorched landscapes, massive airships and brutal aerial battles, signaling a more volatile tone than ever before.
The runtime is expected to stretch close to three hours, maintaining the epic scale fans now expect.
Industry insiders believe the film is poised to ignite the box office once again, potentially reshaping global records.
Along with the global release, Bangladeshi audiences can enjoy it at Star Cineplex from December 19.
This Christmas, Pandora doesn’t just return — it burns.
And once again, James Cameron dares the world to step inside.
