Boasting a star-studded cast, Worthington and Saldaña are joined by Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Oona Chaplin, Kate Winslet, Cliff Curtis, Joel David Moore, David Thewlis and more.
A critical and commercial success, Avatar: Fire and Ash is currently scored at 66% on Rotten Tomatoes.

“[The] series, maintained with exceptional attention to detail by Cameron, remains a gargantuan spectacle unmatched by anything else in Hollywood,” wrote The New York Post. “More than once during its 195-minute runtime, I shook my head and laughed. How the hell did they do that?”
Meanwhile, Empire Magazine mused: “Anyone hoping for a seismic shift in the overall saga should recalibrate their expectations. Still, this is about the most spectacular spectacle you could ever ask for – utterly transportive, technically masterful.”
Echoing this sentiment, in our three-star review, we noted that while the filmmaking was “impressive”, the third instalment was plagued by a sense of “déjà vu”, with the general plot repeating the same “catch-and-rescue formula” that we saw in Avatar and Avatar: The Way of Water.
Avatar: Fire and Ash can be pre-ordered on Prime Video now, where it is expected to land on 31 March. A Disney+ release date is yet to be confirmed.
