The new film is not what you expect but itrsquos definitely what you wantrdquo shared director James Cameron at the recently concluded Disney D23 fan event where he announced the release date of the third sequel of his trailblazing fantastical franchise AvatarCanadian filmmaker James CameronTitled Avatar Fire and Ash the movie is set to hit screens across the globe on December 19 2025 ldquoWersquore going into really challenging territory for all the characters you know and loverdquo Cameron said In this short revelation Cameron left several hints for the fans and Reddit is already abuzz with plot suggestions Three such cinephiles and diehard fans help us foresee the future of PandoraNeytiri will avenge NeteyamPrince Shah writer and filmmakerI love Avatar especially the second part Right from the VFX to the plot everything was next level It was a divine experience for me My prediction for the plot for the upcoming movie is simple but obvious mdash revenge The first movie focused on air the second one was about water and now comes fire I think this one will be about above right Neytiri She lost everything mdash her father sister homeSo she may join the Ash people and take revenge I strongly feel Neytiri will be the focus and her joining the Ash People would be the plot twist as lsquoFirersquo is how Neteyam died That said I would love to see JK Simmons play a part in the film He is an intense personality that will sit just right with the actionpacked film Irsquod like to watch and more importantly hear him in the upcoming movieLetrsquos see Dr Max Patel in actionAvirat Parekh actor director and writerDr Max Patel and Avirat ParekhIn cinema the idea of worldbuilding is an exercise that filmmakers ought to carry out It enables them to draw in audiences to their curated cinematic experience Avatar gets it right every time Over the two instalments at no point does the filmrsquos ethos and world seem farfetched because the natural progression of events makes you buy into the narrative The film is a cinematic revolution It inspired an entire generation to utopian and dystopian cinematic stories What the world is seeing with Dune Mad Max today is probably because of what Avatar did in 2009 James Cameron looks at cinema as an art form It will be remarkable to see how he will for the third time engage the world and subsequently set the tone for forthcoming genre films Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana are featured even in this instalment as announced across portals I donrsquot think therersquos much scope for another character However I would like to see Dileep Raorsquos the Indianorigin actor who plays Dr Max Patel role to grow Other than that it would be cool to see Morgan Freeman make an appearanceSave PandoraRitam Bhatnagar entrepreneurMy earliest memory of watching Avatar was in 2009 I was blown away in the first five minutes of watching the film I loved it so much that the very next day I watched the movie once again Within that week I had watched the film thrice in the theatre I think the plot for the third movie might be around the conflict between the firewielding Narsquovi who already have been hardened by their harsh environment and the existing tribes who view them with suspicion and mistrustThis conflict might give colonising humans an opportunity to exploit Pandora once again It might also have above Jake Sully struggling to maintain peace between the factions In terms of casting Irsquod love to see someone like Florence Pugh join the Avatar universe Her ability to portray strong multifaceted characters would make her an excellent addition
