Avatar: The Way of Water is coming back to theaters ahead of the release of James Cameron’s next sequel, Fire and Ash. Get the details.

Quaritch was the main villain of the first Avatar film in 2009, but he was killed in battle in his human form. He ended up coming back for Avatar: The Way of Water, revived as an avatar.

The journey is long, and so is the runtime. James Cameron shared on Friday that the upcoming "Avatar: Fire and Ash," set to release Dec. 19, 2025, will be even longer than its predecessor 2022's ...

Avatar: Fire and Ash will make its theatrical debut on December 19, 2025. Avatar 4 is scheduled for December 21, 2029, while the concluding chapter, Avatar 5, is set for December 19, 2031.

What Cameron did just reveal, though, is that the film will utilize omitted ideas from its predecessor, The Way of Water. But his comments on the runtime are what really have attention.
