Avatar: Fire and Ash Movie Runtime Revealed by James Cameron

The official Avatar 3 runtime has been revealed for 20th Century Studios‘ long-awaited threequel to 2022’s Avatar: The Way of Water. The newest installment to the blockbuster action sci-fi franchise will arrive in theaters on December 19, 2025.

What is the Avatar: Fire and Ash runtime?

In a recent interview with Variety, while discussing the return of Jake’s Toruk in Avatar: Fire and Ash, acclaimed filmmaker James Cameron confirmed that the upcoming movie will be around three hours long. This isn’t surprising, especially since the 2022 sequel also had a total runtime of 3 hours and 12 minutes.

“I got a big scoop here. It didn’t exist in Fire and Ash. And I went, ‘Oh, he’s got to go get the bird.’ Come on! I was saving it for a later film. I was like, ‘Fuck that! He should get the bird. Get the Toruk.’ There’s something in Jake’s destiny that requires it, right? So I just re-wrote it, and we went back and we shot two or three scenes around that concept, and I threw some stuff out and stuck that in,” Cameron shared. “And we’re at three hours, big surprise! But it works beautifully, and the actors were super-excited about that idea. It’s like, oh, okay, that feels right, you know?”

In addition, Cameron also gave an update regarding the current progress of Avatar 3, revealing that they’re already in the final stages of finishing up the VFX.

“We’re going through the finish of the VFX now [on Fire and Ash] — we have been, really, for the last two years, but we’re really coming down to the wire now,” He said. “And I want to be thematically consistent about the way music was used and underscore during dialogue scenes and things like that. So I have rewatched it. It’s a pretty good ride, I have to say!”

Avatar: Fire and Ash is once again directed by Cameron, who co-wrote the screenplay with Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver. The ensemble cast includes returning stars Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Giovanni Ribisi, Kate Winslet, Cliff Curtis, Trinity Jo-Li Bliss, Jack Champion, Bailey Bass, Edie Falco, and more. Cameron previously said that the upcoming sequel will explore “different cultures from those I have already shown. The fire will be represented by the ‘Ash People.’ I want to show the Na’vi from another angle because, so far, I have only shown their good sides.”
