They soon meet a new and violent Naʼvi group called the Mangkwan clan, also known as the Ash People. The group is led by Varang, a strong and angry leader.

Release

The film was delayed many times because more time was needed for writing and visual effects. It was first planned for release in 2015, but the date was changed several times.[6]
The release was delayed again because of the COVID-19 pandemic. In June 2023, it was delayed once more due to the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike.[7]
The film and its future sequels will be shown in Dolby Vision.[8]
The film is also planned to be released in cinemas in the United Arab Emirates on December 18, 2025.[9]
