Disney is not only teasing the next Marvel and took advantage of D23 Brazil to present a little more in images Avatar 3 by James Cameron.
If it took 13 years between the first Avatarreleased in 2009, and its sequel Avatar 2: The Way of Waterdating from 2022, the wait will be much shorter to be able to return to Pandora, since the third part of the franchise, subtitled Fire and Ash (Fire and Ash in the language of Cloclo) is scheduled for the end of 2025.
Although this horizon seems distant, a lot of information has already been revealed to the public concerning this opus n°3, but also for its sequels. We know, for example, that Sigourney Weaver will be back for Avatar 4 et 5so this actress asked not to come back in Avatarand that it will surely be necessary to pillory James Cameron to prevent him from producing the following parts ofAvatar.
Disney had revealed some concept art and the official title ofAvatar 3 in August 2024, and the firm took advantage of the D23 convention in Sao Paulo to reveal new, never-before-seen images.
Avatar or never
The five new images unveiled during D23 are due to artists Dylan Cole and Steve Messing, both already at work on The Way of Wateras well as Zachary Berger, whose portfolio shows work on Kong : Skull Island et The Mummy.
Dylan Cole’s first illustration shows the Na’vi and several Tulkuns (these species of whalesAvatar 2), in full marine procession, while the second represents what looks like very organic hot air balloons.
Zachary Berger’s concept art features a Na’vi on the back of a flying creature resembling a Banshee from the previous episode, but with wings that appear sharp. Steve Messing’s work represents one of the hot air balloons already mentioned, and the village of one of the famous Ash tribes which gives its title to the third part of James Cameron’s saga.
In August 2024, at the microphone of DeadlineJames Cameron had mentioned the preponderant role that the Tribe of Ashes will have in Avatar 3. He also declared that the fire would have an allegorical significance in this future film:
« New cultures and new settings… You’ll see a lot more of Pandora than you’ve ever seen before. The new movie isn’t what you expect, but it’s definitely what you want. It’s a wild adventure and a feast for the eyes, but there are also very high emotional stakes, more so than ever before. We’re treading into some really difficult territory for all the characters you know and love. […]
Fire can represent hatred, violence, trauma, a possible abuse of power. The ashes represent the consequences of all that energy, which is the grief and having to live with what you have done.«
Avatar : Fire and Ashthe third opus of the saga, is still scheduled for December 17, 2025 in French cinemas.
