Avatar: Fire and Ash, the third instalment in James Cameron's epic sci-fi franchise, will debut its trailer this week.

We also see the big volcano and burnt-out wastelands where the Fire Nation lives, which is concerning, because you can’t introduce the concept of elementally bound societies and make the antagonists firebenders and call your whole damn series Avatar and pretend like it’s no coincidence.

A first-look image, released Tuesday, offers fans a glimpse of the clan leader Varang, portrayed by Oona Chaplin. The story will continue the journey of Jake Sully and Neytiri, as the Na’vi confront a growing threat from the Ash People, a breakaway faction that has turned its back on Pandora’s spiritual traditions.

Frontiers of Pandora update on December 5 will add an optional third-person perspective mode as well as a New Game+ mode. Get your first look in this new trailer.
