According to Cinema Express and recent cinema listings from Cineplex and AMC, this epic third installment promises to be a massive visual and emotional experience. While Cameron is still fine-tuning the final cut, insiders confirm that the current runtime will likely stay close to that figure — meaning audiences should prepare for an extended stay in Pandora.

A bold new chapter for the Avatar universe

Scheduled to hit theaters on December 19, 2025, Avatar: Fire and Ash will continue the saga that began with the record-breaking 2009 original. The sequel, Avatar: The Way of Water, currently holds the title of the franchise’s longest film at 3 hours and 12 minutes — but this new installment is set to surpass it.
