As a dedicated gamer with a lifelong passion for both video games and cinema, I eagerly await the release of Avatar: Fire & Ash in 2025. With my roots deeply embedded in the rich lore of games like Avatar: The Last Airbender, I can’t help but draw parallels between these two fantastic worlds.

Fire and Ash”. However, Disney has unveiled some fresh concept art for the movie that enthusiasts can explore.

The science fiction series created by Cameron kicked off in 2009 with the release of the first ‘Avatar’ movie, which raked in over 2 billion dollars, making it the highest-earning film ever (at that moment). Though Cameron had expressed his plans for ‘Avatar’, the franchise remained idle for more than a decade as the technology to bring Cameron’s vision to life was being developed. In 2022, the sequel, titled ‘Avatar: The Way of Water‘, was unveiled, presenting stunning new visuals and taking viewers to an entirely fresh part of Cameron’s Pandora universe. Despite the significant interval between releases, ‘Avatar’ continued its enchantment at the box office, securing a spot as the third highest-grossing film ever made with ‘The Way of Water‘ achieving this distinction.

First Avatar 3 Concept Arts Revealed

Instead of having a significant wait like before for the second and third Avatar movies, since James Cameron filmed both sequels simultaneously over a span of three years. Although Avatar: Fire & Ash is yet to arrive in more than a year, Disney gave fans a sneak peek at D23 Brazil about what they can anticipate from the sequel by displaying five fresh concept artworks. The art was created by designers Steve Messing, Dylan Cole, and Zachary Berger, and it showcases new creature designs and tribes of Na’vi that have not been seen before.

A significant aspect of the upcoming “Avatar” film appears to involve a fresh air tribe of Na’vi, shown soaring in balloon-like aerial vessels. Additionally, artwork suggests the existence of a red Na’vi tribe, known as the Ash people, who are portrayed taking captives into a camp nestled within a volcanic landscape. This new tribe is distinguished by the red war paint adorning the faces and bodies of its members. One image shows a Na’vi warrior atop a newly-introduced winged creature that resembles the Banshees previously featured in the series, but with a distinctly different wing structure and pattern. Lastly, it is confirmed that the water tribe, Metkayina, will remain part of the third film, as a group of these Na’vi are depicted congregating on rafts amidst a gathering of the whale-like Tulkun in the ocean.

In Disney’s concept art for the upcoming third Avatar movie titled “Avatar: Fire & Ash”, they have not given any explanations, leaving room for different interpretations about how each artwork contributes to the storyline. The Ash People in this film are believed to be the first Na’vi faction portrayed as adversaries, a role that has traditionally been filled by humans in previous Avatar movies.

Avatar Continues To Share Similarities With Avatar: The Last Airbender

Many viewers believe that James Cameron’s Avatar series appears to share a similar structure with Avatar: The Last Airbender, as it introduces new Na’vi tribes related to natural elements, much like the four nations in the animated show. It is possible that this pattern may continue when it comes to portraying the Ash people as antagonists, since the Fire Nation serves as the enemy faction in Avatar: The Last Airbender. However, just how deep these similarities extend is yet to be determined.

Avatar: Fire & Ash is scheduled to be released on December 19, 2025.
