Avatar: Fire and Ash brings war to Pandora in first trailer

The first trailer for Avatar: Fire and Ash is finally here, and it looks like James Cameron might have made another banger.

Though Avatar: The Way of Water ended on hopeful note with Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña), and their family finding a new home with a different group of Na’vi, Fire

and Ash‘s trailer makes clear that a brutal conflict is brewing on Pandora. While human / Na’vi recombinants like Colonel Quaritch (Stephen Lang) are still a constant threat, the real danger appears to be Varang (Oona Chaplin), leader of the Ash People.

Jake and his clan have plenty of guns and arrows, but Varang’s ability to manipulate fire with just her hands seems like the sort of thing that might give her people a huge advantage as they set their sights on destroying their fellow Na’Vi. Thankfully, the trailer doesn’t spell out how Fire and Ash will bring all of its characters together. But it does make it look like the movie’s going to be a feast for the eyes when it hits theaters on December 19th.
