Before the film begins, fans will also enjoy a personal message from Academy Award–winning filmmaker James Cameron, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the next chapter in the Avatar saga.

The exclusive scene begins with the Sully family alongside Spider journeying aboard the majestic medusoids, vast jellyfish-like creatures belonging to the Windtraders. They are accompanied by David Thewlis’ Peylak, the head of the Tlalim Clan, who makes his on-screen debut in the franchise. The sequence confirms Jake Sully’s newfound alliance with the Windtraders, though the full nature and stakes of their partnership remain under wraps.

The story of Fire and Ash picks up directly after the incidents of The Way of Water, which was released in December 2022 and minted more than $2 billion at the worldwide box office. The second instalment in the series showed Jake Sully and his family members teaming up with Metkayina, the water tribe of Pandora, to take down the Resources Development Administration.
