Avatar: Fire and Ash's returning secondary villain has been revealed, and the star teases that a revenge mission is coming. Directed by James Cameron, the third installment in the Avatar franchise continues the story of the Sully family, following them as their fight against the Rda intensifies.
As was revealed in the Avatar: Fire and Ash trailer, the upcoming epic introduces a host of new characters into the mix, including Varang (Oona Chaplin), the leader of the antagonistic Ash People. Quaritch (Stephen Lang) returns as well, adding to the film's roster of villains, but another figure from the franchise's past is also set to make a comeback.

Ostensibly, Avatar: The Way Of Water was the story of Jake and Neytiri’s Na’vi family. Of the return of baddie Miles Quaritch, now himself a Na’vi ‘recom’. Of old wounds, fresh conflicts, and shaky alliances playing out across Pandora. But alongside all of that, another thread captured audiences’ imaginations: the plight of Payakan, the mighty Tulkun space-whale who bonded with Jake’s wayward son Lo’ak, and made a human nemesis in Brendan Cowell’s Mick Scoresby, a maniacal mariner making a fortune from hunting down Tulkun and draining their ultra-valuable brain juices. Last time, a showdown between Scoresby and Payakan saw Scoresby lose an arm. Now,...

Disney is reportedly rethinking its reliance on Kevin Feige and Kathleen Kennedy as Marvel and Star Wars face box office struggles. A new Variety report reveals that studio leaders are pushing for fresh films aimed at young male audiences, signaling a shift from depending on superheroes and Jedi to drive profits.
Despite Disney still dominating the global market with billion-dollar hits like Zootopia 2 and Avatar: Fire and Ash, the concern lies in declining interest in its two biggest franchises. Marvel’s latest release, Fantastic Four: First Steps, failed to meet expectations, while Star Wars hasn’t delivered a film in six years.

With over $2 billion at the global box office, Ne Zha II is already 2025's big box-office winner — at least until James Cameron's Avatar: Fire and Ash enters the chat in December. And now China's animated Oscar hopeful has won critics' hearts as well. A new English-language version arrives in theaters this weekend courtesy of A24, featuring the voices of Michelle Yeoh, Vincent Rodriguez III, Aleks Le, Damien Haas, and Crystal Lee and it's the best-reviewed new film of the weekend with a 94 percent fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes and 69 percent rating on Metacritic.

Disney is making a big push to get young men back into theaters. Multiple sources told Variety that Walt Disney Studios has been asking Hollywood creatives to pitch original movies aimed at guys aged 13 to 28, basically Gen Z.
It makes sense that every studio wants to turn younger audiences into regular moviegoers.
But Gen Z men are proving tricky. Studies show they are often lonely, obsessed with video games, and spent a lot of their teenage years stuck at home during Covid-19. That makes them a hard crowd to capture. What surprised people in the industry, according to sources, is that Disney is looking for entirely new ideas to pull these young men into theaters.

Leadership at Walt Disney Studios has been pressing Hollywood creatives in recent months, multiple sources tell Variety, for movies that will bring young men back to the brand in a meaningful way. “Young men” is defined here by sources as ages 13-28, aka Gen Z.
First, duh. Every film studio is looking for better ways to convert young audiences into habitual moviegoers. Numerous studies show that Gen Z men in particular are a lonely, gaming-obsessed group who were hampered in their formative years by Covid-19 lockdowns — not the easiest segment to grasp. But what’s surprising producers, writers and other partners in the larger industry is that Disney has been calling for original concepts to lure the demo back to the movies.

Avengers: Doomsday is currently shooting in the UK, and had it still been scheduled for a May 2026 release, chances are we'd have seen a teaser playing in front of Avatar: Fire and Ash this December.
That wasn't meant to be, unfortunately, and the closest thing to a first look we've had remains the post-credits scenes for Thunderbolts* and The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Now, though, we may have some intel on what Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom is up to in Avengers: Doomsday.
According to scooper Daniel Richtman, "In Avengers Doomsday, Doom is after people [who] caused Incursions to the Multiverse." This might explain recent rumblings about Chris Evans' Steve Rogers being targeted by Victor Von Doom after Cap's happy ending in Avengers: Endgame.
Now, is Doom looking to punish them, or could their deaths be part of his plan to "save" the Multiverse? Fans have long questioned how...

The story follows Riz Ahmed (Sound of Metal) as a solitary man whose life revolves around this mysterious business. Through a relay service and a keyboard device, he rarely speaks directly to anyone, always remaining distant, cold, and meticulous. When he accepts a case involving a woman victim of workplace harassment who is being pressured not to disclose compromising information about the company in question, the protagonist begins to develop an emotional connection with her – something that conflicts with his usual modus operandi.

James Cameron turns 71 years old today, and in honor of the legendary director, let’s look at a simple yet profound phrase that connects two distinct movies from his filmography: Avatar and Titanic. “I see you,” are words that viewers might have overlooked, but you’ll hear them from Jack when Rose flips through his sketchbook.
Years later, Cameron elevated these words into the heartbeat of Avatar, where the Na’vi use them as a greeting, and it’s said multiple times in both installments during pivotal moments. It’s no coincidence that I See You is also the name of the Avatar theme song performed by Leona Lewis, where she repeats the same words in the chorus.
The recurrence suggests that “I see you” holds a deeper meaning, and it’s possibly a phrase that Cameron has embodied in all his pursuits.

Since its inception in 1984, the Terminator franchise has captivated audiences with its thrilling blend of science fiction and action. Created by James Cameron and Gale Anne Hurd, the six-film series introduced the chilling concept of Skynet, a self-aware artificial intelligence system that sets out to exterminate humanity. The Terminator movies have grossed $2 billion at the box office worldwide.
James Cameron served as screenwriter and director for the first two critically acclaimed movies in the Terminator series before taking a less-involved role. Unfortunately, over time, the Terminator movies have seen less success than their predecessors. However, it was announced in 2024 that Cameron is working on an exciting new Terminator project, with hopes of rekindling the dwindling franchise.

While he's moved on from the Terminator franchise, and he currently spends his days developing new technology to impress audiences with more Avatar sequels, James Cameronhasn't entirely forgotten about the sci-fi action universe where robots take over the world. The director of films like The Abyss and True Lies is actually working on a new Terminator script; the problem, however, is that he's finding it difficult to write the movie. The reason lies in how the franchise's sci-fi concept, which once felt purely fantastical, is now beginning to reflect our reality. Technology is taking over our lives, and Cameron sees a bleak outcome if we don't do something about it.
As reported by The Playlist, Cameron was recently a guest on The Amanpour Hour, Christiane Amanpour's show on CNN. Amanpour talked about the 80th anniversary of the Nagasaki bombing, and Cameron made an appearance to talk about his project,...

James Cameron has directed two Terminator movies: The Terminator (1984) and Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991). The sci-fi action franchise is one of the oldest and longest-running in Hollywood. Cameron’s movie stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, Michael Biehn, Linda Hamilton, and Paul Winfield.
In an interview, the Avatar director said he would think thoroughly before making movies like The Terminator. The director revealed that when he was making the 1984 movie, he realised he knew nothing about guns. However, he further stated that it’s America, and he can just go buy a gun wherever he wants.

Over time, both old and new characters have been added to the roster of "The Immortal Man," which will reunite us with Thomas Shelby (Cillian Murphy) after yet another near-death experience and being fooled into thinking he wasn't destined to survive. But what's next? With a release touted for some time in late 2025, neither the streaming platform nor the creators has provided an exact date. Will we get an update soon, or do we still have yet to wait on a gathering storm where comes a tall, handsome man in a dusty black coat with a red right hand?

James Cameron is already gearing up to work on his next big feature-length project after Avatar: Fire and Ash. While there are a few more Avatar sequels in various stages of development, the filmmaker has been highly vocal about wanting his next film to be about the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. To that end, Cameron has worked closely with a long-time collaborator and author, Charles R. Pellegrino, to adapt his newly released book, Ghosts of Hiroshima, into a feature film. The novel tells the firsthand accounts of numerous survivors, including Tsutomu Yamaguchi, a man who survived the bombings at both Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, Cameron discussed a myriad of topics, as the danger that looms from nuclear armament and conflict is as relevant as it was 80 years ago, if not more so. When the topic shifted to the charged political climate and the...

Though he boasts an enviable CV, including classics such as The Terminator franchise, Aliens and Titanic, Oscar-winning filmmaker James Cameron has become exclusively affiliated with his Avatar film series since the turn of the 21st century. With Avatar: Fire and Ash nearing release and more sequels to come, Cameron shares why he's been "justified" in exclusively making Avatar films for nearly 30 years.
Speaking with Rolling Stone, Cameron opened up on his decision to focus so much of his time and effort on the Avatar franchise for so long, having not made a movie outside the record-breaking sci-fi property since 1997's Titanic. The Canadian director insists his main reason for sticking with the franchise has been its ability to "connect" people on various levels. “I’ve justified making ‘Avatar’ movies to myself for the last 20 years, not based on how much money we made, but on the basis that hopefully it can do some good,...

James Cameron is once again warning that the fictional nightmare he imagined four decades ago could have real-world consequences. In new remarks tied to a wide-ranging interview about his next projects, the filmmaker draws a direct line from The Terminator’s cautionary tale to today’s rapid advances in AI and military tech. The timing lands as governments and labs race to automate more decisions at machine speed.
“I do think there’s still a danger of a Terminator-style apocalypse where you put AI together with weapons systems, even up to the level of nuclear weapon systems, nuclear defence counterstrike, all that stuff,” Cameron said. “Because the theatre of operations is so rapid, the decision windows are so fast, it would take a super-intelligence to be able to process it, and maybe we’ll be smart and keep a human in the loop.

James Cameron has devoted decades to expanding the Avatar franchise, sidelining nearly every other project in the process. In fact, you’d have to go back almost 30 years to find the last non-Avatar film he directed. That’s an extraordinary amount of time to pour into a single series, but the director told Rolling Stone that he’s justified the choice by believing that the films have done some good, beyond just making a boatload of money.
“I’ve justified making ‘Avatar’ movies to myself for the last 20 years, not based on how much money we made, but on the basis that hopefully it can do some good,” Cameron said. “It can help connect us. It can help connect us to our lost aspect of ourself that connects with nature and respects nature and all those things.“

James Cameron said in a recent interview with Rolling Stone that he’s given his filmmaking career entirely to the “Avatar” franchise for decades in the hope of doing good for the world, not just making boatloads of money, which the films have been quite good at doing so far. The director’s original “Avatar” from 2009 is the highest-grossing movie of all time (unadjusted for inflation) with $2.9 billion. The 2022 sequel, “Avatar: The Way of Water,” is the third highest-grossing movie ever with $2.3 billion.

James Cameron owes much of his career to explorations of the kinds of terror that putting too much faith in technology can bring about.
The film that launched Cameron’s career back in 1984 was The Terminator. Before it became the iconic blockbuster, generations-spanning franchise that it is today, The Terminator was little more than a scrappy, high-concept science-fiction slasher movie. In fact, the film had more in common with Cameron’s previous film, which he was unceremoniously fired off of, Piranha II: The Spawning, than it did with anything the auteur would go on to make afterwards.
But clearly, The Terminator’s themes of technology run rampant and resilience in the face of commodification resonated with audiences, and the film became a zeitgeist-defining sensation.

Josh Brolin is a busy man. From appearing in films like Avengers: Endgame and Dune: Part II to the newly released horror epic Weapons, he's become a prolific actor over the past several years. But as it turns out, he was almost in a couple of even more high-profile blockbusters, in the form of James Cameron’s Avatar films.
In a recent interview on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, the actor revealed that he was approached by Cameron to participate in his then-upcoming visual effects-heavy behemoth, Avatar. The role that was offered to him was the character of Miles Quaritch.
Quaritch is the chief antagonist of not only the first Avatar film, but has gone on to become a unifying thread and threat across the sequels as well. In actuality, the role is played by Stephen Lang, but Brolin reveals that Cameron came to him first.
Despite this, Brolin ultimately turned down the offer,...

Hollywood is often accused of making nothing but remakes and sequels, and Disney is among the biggest offenders. The studio's slate is defined by live-action remakes of their animated classics, sequels to Marvel and Star Wars films, and even, as with Freakier Friday, legacy sequels to remakes of prior Disney movies. Even Walt Disney Animation Studios and Pixar, divisions of the company once known for original films, have been bitten by the sequel bug with Zootopia 2 set to be followed by Frozen 3 and Pixar readying Toy Story 5, Incredibles 3, and Coco 2. Despite titles like Elio, Disney doesn't seem invested in original ideas anymore.
Disney CEO Bob Iger has pushed back on that idea, however. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, he pointed out that they're releasing original films from both the 20th Century Pictures and Searchlight Pictures brands, but also that Disney itself is focused less on remakes,...

Disney CEO Bob Iger said new IP is of great value to the company longer term while the popularity of franchises remains high with potential sequels or bringing “them forward in a more modern way, as we’ve done. Or converting what was previously animation to live action,” as per Lilo & Stitch and upcoming Moana …. It’s just a great opportunity for the company and supports our franchises.”
But “I wouldn’t say that we’ve got a priority one way or the other. Our priority is to put our great movies that ultimately resonate with consumers. And the more we can find and develop original property, the better, of course,” he said during a Q&a with analysts after Disney’s quarterly earnings.

Bob Iger said during Disney’s earnings call that the studio does not have a priority when it comes to movie sequels, remakes and original content, despite the upcoming slate being overwhelmingly dominated by franchise fare like “Freakier Friday,” “Predator: Badlands,” “Tron: Ares,” “Zootopia 2” and “Avatar: Fire and Ash.” Disney is only seeking to make great movies, the CEO stressed.
“We continue to be focused on creating new IP,” Iger said. “Obviously, that’s of great value to us long term. But we also know that the popularity of our older IP remains significant, and the opportunities to either produce sequels or convert what was previously animation to live action, like we’re doing with ‘Moana’ in 2026, it’s just a great opportunity for the company and supports our franchise.

Avatar franchise director James Cameron ventures into war and its fallout for his first project not involving the sci-fi film franchise since 1997. Cameron's upcoming movie about the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings gets a significant update as the film draws comparisons to Christopher Nolan's World War II epic, Oppenheimer.
Via Instagram, Cameron confirmed the publication of Charles Pellegrino's new book, Ghosts of Hiroshima, one of the books the Canadian filmmaker will adapt for his World War II movie. The confirmation accompanied a video plugging Ghosts of Hiroshima, featuring the voice of President Harry Truman and his confirmation of an atomic bomb hitting Hiroshima as World War II intensified. Cameron captioned the post by praising Pellegrino's "extraordinary" book while expressing his excitement for the film adaptation. He also claimed that his next movie has the most "powerful" true story he's seen since Titanic.

James Cameron, the man who dove into the wreck of the Titanic and waged war in Pandora, now confesses he’s afraid. Not of failure. Not of scale. But of the terrifying truth at the heart of his next film, Ghosts of Hiroshima. The acclaimed director revealed in an exclusive conversation with DiscussingFilm that adapting Charles Pellegrino’s harrowing new book might be the single most daunting creative endeavor of his storied career.
This might be the most challenging film I ever make. I don’t 100% have my strategy fully in place [right now] for how I want to see it, for how I want to shield people from the horror, but still be honest.
With Ghosts of Hiroshima, Cameron steps outside the safety of fantasy and science fiction. Gone are the blue-skinned heroes and immersive worlds of Avatar. In their place: human ashes, melted shadows, and the searing screams of survivors.

Nearly three decades later, hearts continue to break watching the tragic romance between Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet's characters in the classic disaster movie, Titanic. However, over a decade after Titanic set sail in theaters, another film chronicling an emotional rollercoaster romance involving DiCaprio and Winslet is making the rounds again as Revolutionary Road crashes onto a new streaming platform.

Marking DiCaprio and Winslet's Titanic reunion 11 years after gripping audiences as Jack and Rose, Revolutionary Road sees the duo spark another vintage on-screen romance, portraying Frank and April Wheeler.

While the Avatar films required significant dedication to turn them into the billion-dollar juggernauts they became, franchise helmer James Cameron admits his first project outside the sci-fi film series in decades could be a greater challenge. The Oscar-winning filmmaker offers a cautious update on his World War II adaptation, Last Train From Hiroshima, claiming he's not sure how he'll approach the movie.
Speaking with Andrew J. Salazar from DiscussingFilm, Cameron delved into the Last Train From Hiroshima film, which chronicles survival stories from the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. According to the Canadian filmmaker, the adaptation will be difficult, considering the heaviness of the story involved. "To me, this might be the most challenging film I ever make.

James Cameron is about to turn 71 years old, but he might be the busiest he’s ever been in his life.
The Academy Award-winning filmmaker behind iconic works such as The Terminator, Aliens, True Lies, and Titanic has filled his days over the last two decades with a single, monumental work: the Avatar franchise. Cameron famously began working on the first film in the series shortly after Titanic’s release, and continued to work on it and refine the innovative technology behind it all the way up to its release in 2009.
Following the record-breaking blockbuster success of that film, Cameron set forth on crafting a follow-up that would ultimately transform into a complex, multi-part series of sequels.
This plan led to all of the second and third films, Avatar: The Way of Water and the upcoming Avatar: Fire and Ash, filmed concurrently. However, the planned fourth and fifth films in...

While most long-running franchises usually have source material that they draw from, like Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Game of Thrones, which keeps the world going in several directions within the overarching storyline, James Cameron’s Avataris creating its mythos on the go.

Now, a second movie was released 13 years later, and the third, Avatar: Fire and Ash, is coming out in December 2025, with fourth and fifth movies in the works as well.

James Cameron said in a new interview with Empire magazine that he’s “good to go” when it comes to directing “Avatar 4” and “Avatar 5.” The third “Avatar” movie, officially titled “Avatar: Fire and Ash,” opens in theaters later this year. Cameron originally cast doubt on his “Avatar” directing future, telling Empire in 2022 that helming the franchise is “all-consuming” and he might want to “pass the baton” to another director starting with “Avatar 4.” But that’s no longer the Oscar winner’s intention.
“I mean, there’s no reason not to,” Cameron said ahead of his 71st birthday in August about directing more “Avatar” sequels himself. “I’m healthy, I’m good to go. I’m not going to rule it out. I mean, I’ve got to make it in a vigorous way, to handle the kind of volume and energy of the work for another six or seven years.
