James Cameron’s Avatar movies are being pushed back pretty significantly as Avatar 3, 4, and 5 all have new release dates.
When will Avatar 3 come out?
The new Avatar 3 release date is now set for December 19, 2025. It was originally set for December 20, 2024. Meanwhile, Avatar 4 and Avatar 5 will now release on December 21, 2029, and December 19, 2031, respectively. They were initially set for December 18, 2026, and December 22, 2028, so those delays are both three years.
The most recent Avatar movie was The Way of Water, which came out last year.
“Set more than a decade after the events of the first film, Avatar: The Way of Water begins to tell the story of the Sully family (Jake, Neytiri, and their kids), the trouble that follows them, the lengths they go to keep each other safe, the battles they fight to stay alive, and the tragedies they endure,” says the official synopsis for the movie.
Avatar: The Way of Water was directed and co-written by James Cameron. It features the return of Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Joel David Moore, Dileep Rao, Stephen Lang, Matt Gerald, and Sigourney Weaver. Additional cast members include Kate Winslet, Edie Falco, Michelle Yeoh, Jemaine Clement, and Oona Chaplin, alongside a slate of young actors.
