When Will Avatar: Fire and Ash Be Available on Disney+?
January 5, 2026
James Cameron’s third Avatar movie has already surpassed $1 billion at the global box office, fueling fans’ curiosity about when Avatar: Fire and Ash will land on Disney+.
Plot Overview
The sequel depicts an extensive war across Pandora as the Resources Development Administration (RDA) ramps up its aggressive tactics against Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) and his family, who are fighting to save the planet from colonization. Colonel Quaritch (Stephen Lang) teams up with Varang (Oona Chaplin), leader of the Ash people, to harness their fiery resilience against the Na’vi.
Sigourney Weaver previously mentioned that sequels Avatar 4 and Avatar 5 are still uncertain. However, with Avatar 3 crossing the billion-dollar mark, the possibility of further films seems more promising.
Until official confirmation from 20th Century Studios and Disney, fans can only anticipate the eventual digital and streaming release. Here’s what we know about Avatar: Fire and Ash's arrival on Disney+.
Release Date on Disney+
Avatar: Fire and Ash is expected to arrive on Disney+ sometime between April and June 2026. Disney typically launches new Marvel and Disney titles on its streaming platform three to four months after theatrical release. For example, The Fantastic Four: First Steps debuted in theaters in July 2025 and reached Disney+ in November.
Interestingly, Disney took nearly six months to release Avatar: The Way of Water, likely due to its extended, lucrative theatrical run. Notably, there was a 13-year gap between the first Avatar (2009) and The Way of Water (2022).
How to Watch Avatar: Fire and Ash
The film premiered in theaters on December 19, 2023. Fans can still experience the breathtaking visuals on the big screen as James Cameron intended.
While the sequel’s reviews are mixed—holding a 60% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes—the visual effects have received widespread praise for their stunning quality. The story may not resonate equally with all viewers, but the spectacle remains impressive.
