James Cameron is famous for pushing the boundaries of filmmaking technology, and the Avatar movies are prime examples (you can watch them on Disney+). It took 16 years to create the first three Avatar films, but Cameron recently suggested the process for the third one is going much more smoothly. Here’s a look at what’s happening.
Details about Avatar: Fire and Ash are still scarce, but fans are excited to explore more of the world of Pandora. This next movie will show the Na’vi fighting amongst themselves for the first time, and Jake Sully and his family are still dealing with the events at the end of The Way of Water. Director James Cameron recently gave Shoot Online a sneak peek at what’s coming in the third film, saying:
I updated Disney executives that we’re on track to finish on schedule. The first movie was a real struggle, and the second was incredibly busy. But this time, everything is surprisingly smooth and the film is shaping up really well.
James Cameron says getting the next Avatar movie, Fire and Ash, to theaters is going much more smoothly than it was with the first two films. He’s confident it will be released this December, though it does make you wonder what caused the delays with the earlier movies.

Disney+ offers streaming access to the Avatar movies and more, starting at $11.99 per month with ads. You can remove the ads for $18.99 a month, or save 16% by paying $189.99 for an annual subscription. See the deal here.
It’s always interesting to learn about the behind-the-scenes work that goes into making movies, and the Avatar films are particularly complex. Creating them requires a lot of visual effects to transform actors’ performances and build the world of Pandora. It seems like Fire and Ash is helping to streamline the process, as the previous Avatar movies faced some difficulties during production.

Everyone is eager to see what director James Cameron has planned for his new sci-fi film. This time, instead of Jake narrating the story, it will be told from the perspective of his son, Lo’ak. It will be interesting to see how this shift in viewpoint affects the overall narrative, particularly how the characters deal with the loss of their eldest son, Neteyam, who died in the previous movie. There’s also the complex and difficult relationship between Neytiri and Spider to consider.
It’s amazing how long James Cameron has been working on the Avatar movies, and he’s still not done! He originally planned a five-movie story, and after Fire and Ash comes out, there will be two more films to complete the saga.
The next Avatar movie, Avatar: Fire and Ash, is scheduled to be released in theaters on December 19, 2026. Reports suggest director James Cameron is on track to finish the film without last-minute stress before its release.
