Rainn Wilson will always be known for his role as Dwight Schrute in The Office, but now the former Dunder Mifflin paper salesman has a new action comedy coming soon that just got a thrilling new look. Collider is happy to partner with Aura Entertainment and Wayfarer Studios to exclusively preview the first trailer for Code 3, the upcoming action comedy in which Wilson stars alongside Lil Rel Howery. Howery is known for his roles in Poker Face (Natasha Lyonne), Get Out (Daniel Kaluuya), and Free Guy (Ryan Reynolds), and he also recently cameo'd as himself in the first season of The Studio. Code 3 will debut in theaters nationwide later this year on September 12, and the film comes from writer Patrick Pianezza and director Christopher Leone.
Code 3 is based on Pianezza’s real experiences during his time as a paramedic. Aura officially debuted the first red band teaser...

Despite not finding favor among critics upon its release, this 2018 sci-fi movie, often considered horror, and starring Jason Statham, did pretty well at the box office. Titled The Meg, it hit theaters in the U.S. on August 10, 2018. Eventually, it made its way to various streaming homes over the years, including HBO Max in America and Netflix globally, where it has garnered even more attention.
Most recently, another streaming home has been added to the bunch, and unlike the others, it allows viewers to enjoy films and TV shows for absolutely free. Starting on August 1, The Meg was made available on Tubi, where it will play for an uncertain yet limited amount of time, joining a boatload of other popular titles that were added to the streamer just this month. Some of these titles are the four films in the Lethal Weapon franchise, Hotel Transylvania and its sequel, the Bring It On franchise,...

To much surprise of the fans, Apple TV+‘s newly launched show, Chief of War, is mostly filmed in New Zealand. The show has aired its awe-inspiring 2 episodes on the platform on 1st August, 2025. From the beautiful-looking Hawaiian islands to telling a story that is as insightful and well-thought-out as it should be, after drawing constant comparisons with the Vikings.
Starring, co-creating, and executive produced by Jason Momoa, the show is a milestone for Kānaka Maoli (Native Hawaiian) representation on screen. Therefore, a question arises as to why a show so deeply rooted in Hawaiian history and culture was filmed predominantly in the southern part of the world. While the Chief of War did spend about a month filming in Hawaii, the bulk of the production was done in Aotearoa (New Zealand), and the reasons are primarily financial and logistical. Let’s dig deeper into it.

James Cameron, the man who dove into the wreck of the Titanic and waged war in Pandora, now confesses he’s afraid. Not of failure. Not of scale. But of the terrifying truth at the heart of his next film, Ghosts of Hiroshima. The acclaimed director revealed in an exclusive conversation with DiscussingFilm that adapting Charles Pellegrino’s harrowing new book might be the single most daunting creative endeavor of his storied career.
This might be the most challenging film I ever make. I don’t 100% have my strategy fully in place [right now] for how I want to see it, for how I want to shield people from the horror, but still be honest.
With Ghosts of Hiroshima, Cameron steps outside the safety of fantasy and science fiction. Gone are the blue-skinned heroes and immersive worlds of Avatar. In their place: human ashes, melted shadows, and the searing screams of survivors.

Plot: Set amidst the beautiful backdrop of the islands of Hawai’i, the nine-episode series based on true events, follows warrior Ka’iana as he tries to unify the islands before Western colonization in the late 18th century
Review: The journey of Jason Momoa’s passion project, Chief of War, has taken over a decade to reach screens. The chronicle of the story following the unification of the Hawaiian island nations has faced an uphill battle despite Momoa’s celebrity and credibility in Hollywood. Selling a major studio like Apple on devoting a massive budget to a series filmed almost entirely in a different language with a cast with Hawaiian and Pacific Islander heritage, with sets and costumes built to historic specifications, meant a multi-year effort that is finally hitting Apple TV+ with a two-episode premiere.

Ten years in the making, Jason Momoa and Thomas Pa’a Sibbett bring their passion project to life with the visually stunning, action-packed and culturally significant series, “Chief of War.” The Apple TV+ drama tells the story of the unification and colonization of Hawaii at the turn of the 18th century from an indigenous perspective.
It’s undoubtedly one of the most ambitious series in recent memory, as it takes a heavy and delicate subject matter but manages to make it action-packed and informative in equal measures, which can be a tough line to tow. I knew very little, if anything, about the history of Hawaii. However, after watching “Chief of War,” I felt inspired to research the various real-life figures and what happened to them after the events of the 10-episode series.

In the West, we live on stolen land. The degradation and genocide of Indigenous Americans on the mainland is widely known. Yet, the settlement of the Hawaiian Islands is much less examined. Now, in Apple TV+’s sweeping 18th-century war epic “Chief of War,” Jason Momoa and Thomas Pa’a Sibbett showcase the unification and colonization of Hawai’i, a nearly 30-year-long enterprise whose ramifications are still widely felt today. Stunning, historical and with acute attention to detail, this series is about the greed of men, a crushing power obsession and the brutality of war.
This story, which took a decade to bring to the small screen, begins with a prophecy. Long before Hawai’i became the unified state it is now, it consisted of four different kingdoms. O’ahu, Maui, Kaua’i and the big island of Hawai’i were all joined by water but divided by greedy men, cunning...

Chief of War is a series that intrigued me from the outset despite, or perhaps because, it was very clearly not made with someone like me in mind. A dramatized, unflinching retelling of the unification and colonization of Hawaii, the series is led by a predominantly indigenous Hawaiian and Polynesian cast and crew, centering that culture’s perspective in everything from narrative structure to spoken language.
As an outsider to Hawaiian culture but someone who is always willing and enthusiastic to learn about other cultures and non-Eurocentric history, this premise grabbed me from the moment I first heard about it. And having watched the entire series, I can confidently report that the end result is gripping and thoroughly engaging, though not without its issues here and there.

While most long-running franchises usually have source material that they draw from, like Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Game of Thrones, which keeps the world going in several directions within the overarching storyline, James Cameron’s Avataris creating its mythos on the go. It works because the audience goes in without any reference or preconceived notion about the characters and every time get their mind blown. In The Way Water, we met the water tribe, the Metkayina clan, and the upcoming Fire and Ash will introduce us to Wind Traders, seen in the latest teaser with their jellyfish like giant ships in air.
Playing their leader is Harry Potter fame, David Thewlis, who wasn’t seen in the trailer but will play a very important part in the franchise. “They're going to be throughout the cycle of 3, 4 and 5,” Cameron teases in a new interview with Empire Magazine. As for their leader,...

Don't be alarmed if you hear the thundering sound of drums. It just means that the new epic series, Chief of War, is arriving on your screen. This Friday, Apple TV+ debuts the new show led by Jason Momoa (Fast X). In order to get your blood pumping, Collider can exclusively unveil a sneak peek into the debut episode that lets you get the general feel of the story. The nine-episode series will kick off with two installments and keep rolling on Fridays through September 19.
Our exclusive sneak peek showcases a tense encounter between Momoa's character, Ka'iana, and a group of invaders of the Hawaiian territory. Told from a long-overdue indigenous perspective, Chief of War will chronicle Ka'iana's attempt to unify the inhabitants of the archipelago before they suffer the horrors of Western colonization in the late 18th century. Needless to say, their conflict won't be pretty, and a river of blood will be spilled.

As another installment of the global hit sci-fi film series Avatar bows into theaters this December, director James Cameron has reflected on his place in the future of the franchise. He still has two more movies in the Avatar universe to make, and given the significant time it takes to make each movie, there have been concerns that he might not be physically capable of seeing all the films to the end. Cameron turns 71 soon, but that won't slow him down — at least that's the plan. He plans to direct Avatar 4 and Avatar 5. "I mean, there's no reason not to. I’m healthy, I'm good to go," he told Empire when they asked if there was a possibility he could hand over the day-to-day duties of making the remaining films to another director.
Still, the future is unpredictable, and Cameron has thought about it. "I’m not going to rule it out,...

Jason Statham will always be known for his role as Deckard Shaw in the Fast & Furious movies, but three years after he joined the F&f universe, he starred alongside a Chief of War veteran for an action thriller dominating streaming charts. Statham features opposite Chief of War’s Cliff Curtis and Rainn Wilson (The Office) in The Meg, the 2018 kaiju thriller following a crew whose rescue mission to the bottom of the ocean is compromised by a giant, prehistoric shark. The Meg is currently streaming on HBO Max in the United States and Netflix globally, where it’s one of the top 10 movies in America and other countries like Saudi Arabia and Morocco.

Reasons Why Avatar: Fire And Ash’s Trailer Has Me Counting Down To December 19 ( Photo Credit – Instagram )
Years ago, when the world of blue aliens created by James Cameron came to life in front of our eyes as Avatar, it left us stunned. The first film was released in 2009. Cut to 2022, Cameron came out with another film with the same blue aliens, but under the water for Avatar: The Way of Water. Now, the director has released the trailer of the new Avatar world, Fire and Ash. In this one, the blue aliens will meet another tribe of Na’vi (they wear red headdresses).
Touted as the biggest Hollywood release in India, this third instalment of the global phenomenon promises to transport audiences back to the breathtaking world of Pandora like never before. Here are the three things I am excited about in Avatar 3. Scroll ahead.

There has been a glut of musical biopics over the last several years, but one of the more unusual projects on the horizon is a biopic of the band Sublime, whose success was snuffed out before it could begin by the tragic death of their lead singer, Bradley Nowell. Blue Bayou's Justin Chon is set to direct the film and co-write its screenplay. Chon spoke to Collider's Steve Weintraub recently on the red carpet for his upcoming Apple TV+ series, Chief of War. The film is still in the works, with Riverdale's Kj Apa cast as Nowell, but the story is in flux. Says Chon:
"As it's currently written, it’ll mostly follow from the early ‘90s until the end of Brad's life. But I think we're malleable because we're not quite set yet. I love the script that we have right now, but it could shift."

20th Century Studios has dropped the breathtaking first trailer for ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash,’ the third chapter in James Cameron’s epic sci-fi saga — and it promises to take the franchise to new emotional and visual heights.
Following the events of ‘Avatar: The Way of Water,’ ‘Fire and Ash’ thrusts Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña), and their family into their most harrowing trial yet. As tensions boil across Pandora, a ruthless new threat emerges from both human and Na’vi factions — one that could burn everything the Sullys have fought to protect.
The trailer opens with sweeping aerial shots of the ash-swept mountains of a once-thriving Na’vi region, now scarred by conflict. Narration from Neytiri sets the tone: “We defended our home. Now we fight for what remains.” From there, we glimpse stunning bioluminescent vistas, fire-drenched battlefields, and a mysterious new Na’vi tribe who wield flame...

The first trailer for Avatar: Fire and Ash has finally been released—via SFFGazette.com—after playing exclusively in theaters before The Fantastic Four: First Steps this past weekend. You may recall that it also leaked online earlier this month, though Disney acted quickly to take it down.
Providing a long-awaited glimpse at Avatar: Fire and Ash's eye-popping visuals, new clans, and stunning new creatures, this sneak peek doesn't reveal too much about the story. Even so, for fans of Pandora, what's shown should be more than enough to convince them to buy a ticket in time for this holiday season.
With Avatar: Fire and Ash, James Cameron takes audiences back to Pandora in an immersive new adventure with Marine turned Na’vi leader Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), Na’vi warrior Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña), and the Sully family.

Released in 2009, director James Cameron’s film Avatar became the first movie to officially gross more than $2 billion. Then it took him thirteen years to get a sequel into theatres, so it wasn’t clear if the follow-up was going to be able to replicate that success. But then, sure enough, Avatar: The Way of Water also grossed more than $2 billion, paving the way for not only Avatar 3, or Avatar: Fire and Ash, (which is scheduled to reach theatres on December 19, 2025) but also Avatar 4 and Avatar 5 – which will be released on December 21, 2029 and December 19, 2031, respectively. With the release of the third film now just five months away, a trailer has dropped online and can be seen in the embed above!

James Cameron’s official trailer for the third Avatar film, Avatar: Fire and Ash, is all about the visuals and action scenes, with very little dialogue. Jake and Neytiri continue to put family first in a fight to survive, with Jake warning his partner Neytiri not to live in hate. That appears to be easier said than done when everyone’s trying to kill you.
Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldaña return to lead the cast as Jake and Neytiri. The third film of the franchise also stars Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Oona Chaplin, Cliff Curtis, Britain Dalton, Trinity Bliss, Jack Champion, Bailey Bass, and Kate Winslet. James Cameron directs and co-wrote the screenplay with Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver.

James Cameron is diving back into the world of Pandora with Avatar: Fire and Ash, the third film in the Avatar series. Set to release on December 19, 2025, this movie picks up where The Way of Water left off and looks like it could be the most visually jaw-dropping chapter yet.
Cameron is once again wearing several hats, he’s directing, co-producing, editing, and helped write the story. He worked on the script with Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver, along with Josh Friedman and Shane Salerno. The movie is produced and released by 20th Century Studios.
The returning cast is massive. Sam Worthington is back as Jake Sully, along with Zoe Saldaña as Neytiri, Sigourney Weaver as Kiri, and Stephen Lang as the fierce Colonel Quaritch. There are many others returning too, including Kate Winslet, Cliff Curtis, and Jack Champion. Two new faces join the universe: David Thewlis and Oona Chaplin.

The king of the blockbuster, James Cameron, returns this winter with the latest installment of his Avatar franchise. The third feature, Avatar: Fire and Ash, finds David Thewlis and Oona Chaplin joining the ensemble of Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Oona Chaplin, Cliff Curtis, Britain Dalton, Trinity Bliss, Jack Champion, Bailey Bass, and Kate Winslet. Ahead of a December 19 release, the first trailer has now arrived.
Cameron also recently spoke to Deadline about the franchise and his hopes to adapt Charles Pellegrino’s book Ghosts of Hiroshima, noting, “We drop the next one December 19th, and we’ll take it from there. I’ve got the scripts and we’ve done preliminary designs on four and five and we’re ready to roll into it. But audiences tastes shift, and maybe the movie won’t exactly be what they want it to be. Who knows? We’ll find out.

Trailer for ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’ Reveals New Villains, Fiery Conflict, and a Dark Turn for Pandora
The first trailer for Avatar: Fire and Ash is finally out, and it’s bringing some major heat—literally. The third movie in James Cameron’s sci-fi franchise gives us a glimpse at a much darker side of Pandora, and it’s not looking good for Jake Sully and his family.
The trailer was first shown before The Fantastic Four: First Steps in theaters, but now 20th Century Studios has dropped it online.
This is our first official look at Fire and Ash ahead of its December 19, 2025 release date.
In the trailer, we hear Jake (played by Sam Worthington) pleading with Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña), saying, “You can’t live like this baby — in hate!” Tension between the Na’vi and the humans hasn’t cooled down at all, and now we’re seeing even more division among the Na’vi clans themselves. This time, it’s the Ash People who step into the spotlight,...

M. Night Shyamalan’s next movie withJake Gyllenhaal recently began production, but while he’s hard at work filming the upcoming romantic thriller, fans have pushed his most maligned project back into the streaming spotlight. Shyamalan wrote and directed the 2010 critically panned adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender, which ditched the first part of its title and rolled with The Last Airbender. The film is currently streaming on Paramount+ in America and on Claro Video globally, where it’s one of the most popular movies in Ecuador and other countries. It earned a disastrous 5% score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes and a 30% on the audience-driven Popcornmeter, but popularity of the original Avatar animated series helped the film gross $319 million on a $150 million budget, which avoided complete financial disaster for Paramount.
Shyamalan sat down for an interview with Demand Entertainment in 2013 to talk about the extremely poor reception of The Last Airbender.

James Cameron’s “Avatar: Fire and Ash” is finally on the horizon.
The third chapter in his epic sci-fi saga, which began with 2009’s “Avatar” and continued with 2022’s “Avatar: The Way of Water,” is arriving in theaters this Christmas. And the first trailer for “Fire and Ash” has debuted after an exclusive opening weekend run attached to “The Fantastic Four: First Steps.” It’s a doozy.
Picking up right where “The Way of Water” left off, the trailer deals with Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña) and their family following the death of one of their children at the end of the last movie. At one point, Jake tells her, “You cannot live like this baby – in hate.” All of the hallmarks of the “Avatar” series thus far are present – spray-painted-on-the-side-of-a-van fantasy imagery, crazy creatures, an ethereal beauty and action sequences that can only spring from the mind...

After beginning play over the weekend in front of The Fantastic Four: First Steps screenings, 20th Century Studios’ trailer for James Cameron’s Avatar: Fire and Ash has dropped. It’s the first look at the third installment of the franchise, and comes ahead of its planned December 19, 2025 release.
“You can’t live like this baby – in hate!” exclaims Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) to his wife, Na’vi warrior Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña). As we’ve known coming out of the press tour for Avatar: The Way of Water, not all Na’vi clans are nice, and we have known for a while the Ash People were going to be trouble. And the military humans led by Recom Miles Quaritch aren’t letting up. Also shown here, Sully’s children are in peril again, as expressed by Neytiri, and human friend Spider continues to get in entanglements.

20th Century Studios has released the official trailer for Avatar: Fire and Ash. The science fiction movie serves as the third installment in James Cameron's multi-billion-dollar franchise.
The official trailer for Avatar: Fire and Ash was initially released exclusively in theaters over this past weekend, being shown ahead of screenings of The Fantastic Four: First Steps. It's unclear if the trailer leaking online over the weekend prompted 20th Century Studios to officially release it online or if it was always the plan to drop it the Monday after The Fantastic Four's opening weekend. "With Avatar: Fire and Ash, James Cameron takes audiences back to Pandora in an immersive new adventure with Marine turned Na’vi leader Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), Na’vi warrior Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña), and the Sully family," reads the logline for the hotly anticipated threequel.

The action-packed first trailer for James Cameron’s next Avatar fantasy epic has been officially released online (below).
Disney has revealed the trailer for Avatar: Fire & Ash following the footage leaking after the teaser was put exclusively in theaters last week in front of Fantastic Four: First Steps.
One raved that the trailer was “some of the most beautiful footage I’ve seen all year [and I was] struck by the real sense of doom and rage — fist fights inside of cosmic volcanoes, heroes terrified, huge aerial battles.” While an entertainment writer wrote, “[The trailer] started out as ‘meh, more of the same’ and ended with ‘yup, another billion to James Cameron.'” And a film critic wrote: “The visuals are (somehow) on another level. There is no doubt in my mind that this Will be the biggest movie of 2025, and ‘epic’ doesn’t feel like it does this trailer justice.”

It’s been over two years since Avatar: The Way of Water swam into theaters everywhere, and now James Cameron is officially back with the next chapter in his legendary sci-fi story. Disney has finally released the first trailer forAvatar: Fire and Ash ahead of its December 19 release date, signaling a return to a different side of Pandora. The first official Fire and Ash trailer turns subverts expectations by teasing a showdown between the Ash people and the Metkayina, who took in Jake Sully in Avatar 2. It appears Colonel Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang) will somehow get the Mangkwan clan to side with him in his relentless pursuit of Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), despite most fans expecting that they would help Jake, similar to the Metkayina.

Disney has released the first trailer for director James Cameron’s third “Avatar” movie, titled “Avatar: Fire and Ash.” It’s scheduled to hit theaters on December 19, 2025, three years after “Avatar: The Way of Water.”
Just like “The Way of Water” introduced the aquatic Metkayina clan of Pandora, “Fire and Ash” will debut a new group called the Ash People. At the 2024 D23 Expo, Cameron came on stage to debut a teaser to attendees, which showed the fearsome, soot-covered tribe who danced around a giant fire pit.
“You’ll see a lot more Pandora that you never saw before,” Cameron said at the 2024 D23 Expo. “It’s an insane adventure and a feast for the eyes, but it’s also got very high emotional stakes, more than ever before,” Cameron said during the presentation. “We’re going into really challenging territory for all the characters you know and love.”

How’s this for a logline? When it comes to the third film in James Cameron’s massive “Avatar” franchise, “Avatar: Fire and Ash,” Disney will only share that this new installment “takes audiences back to Pandora in an immersive new adventure with Marine turned Na’vi leader Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), Na’vi warrior Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña), and the Sully family.” That’s all assumed, right? And, for now, that’s about as much plot as we’re going to get in the “Fire and Ash” realm.
The film’s first trailer? It adheres to the same idea. When Disney showed the trailer to a select group of press last week — before a planned rollout alongside “The Fantastic Four: First Steps,” which opened on Friday, and after a very brief leak of the first look earlier this month — the studio generously played it three times in a row.

Are you ready to go back to Pandora? Titanic maestro James Cameron is here to make sure you book your round trip ticket to his alien world now. The first trailer for Avatar: Fire and Ash — due in theaters on Dec. 19 — just debuted online after being featured ahead of Fantastic Four: First Steps over the weekend. Unlike its predecessor, The Way of Water, we haven't had to wait too long for this latest Pandora-set adventure. 13 years separated the first two Avatar features, but there's only been a three-year gap between the second and third installments.
But a lot can change in three years, particularly when it comes to the technology that makes these visits to Pandora possible. The imagery on display in the Fire and Ash trailer indicates that Cameron and his creative team are continuing to push the boundaries of what’s possible with digital effects and motion capture.

In the meantime, we have two new covers from Empire Magazine putting the spotlight on the Ash People/Mangkwan Clan and their leader, the villainous Varang. We've explored Pandora's forests and seas, but this corner of the planet has a far more sinister feel to it.
"Varang is the leader of a people who have gone through an incredible hardship. She's hardened by that," filmmaker James Cameron explained earlier this year. "She will do anything for them, even things that we would consider to be evil."
"One thing we wanted to do in this film is not be black-and-white simplistic," he teased. "We’re trying to evolve beyond the ‘all humans are bad,...

Disney has confirmed recent reports that the first trailer for James Cameron's Avatar: Fire and Ash will screen ahead of Marvel Studios' The Fantastic Four: First Steps this weekend. We're not sure when it will be released online, but we're hearing July 28 (it will almost certainly leak before then).
In the meantime, we have a first official poster for the sci-fi threequel, which introduces Oona Chaplin (Game of Thrones) as the villainous leader of the Ash People, aka the Mangkwan Clan, Varang.
Cameron has previously said of the character: "Varang is the leader of a people who have gone through an incredible hardship. She's hardened by that. She will do anything for them, even things that we would consider to be evil."
Check out the poster artwork at the link below, along with some reactions to the trailer, which was shown to those in attendance at last night's LA premiere of First Steps.

As we await the arrival of Chief of War on Apple TV+ with bated breath, the show is creating headlines far and wide for being rooted in a gut-wrenching true story. It echoes the most turbulent times in Hawaii, and Jason Momoa and Thomas Paʻa Sibbett, the makers of the show, don’t take that responsibility lightly.
They take viewers into the authentic struggle of the 4 kingdoms of the islands, against the threat of Western colonization. Kaʻiana(Jason Momoa), the brave, noble warrior who strives to unite these kingdoms against the western forces, is the heart of the show. Deep-rooted in history and culture, Chief of War is ready to breathe life into the painful story of Hawaii’s past. At the red carpet premiere of Chief of War, Kiwi stars in the show reflect on how similar both languages and cultures are.

Jason Momoa has shared his experience creating Apple TV+'s upcoming historical drama Chief of War, revealing more about the show's production. Momoa's latest TV show takes place on the Hawaiian Islands during the 19th century, focusing on his character, the warrior Kaʻiana. Momoa co-created the series with Thomas Pa'a Sibbett, co-writing the series with him and Doug Jung.
In an interview with ScreenRant's Joe Deckelmeier, Momoa explained his role behind-the-scenes for Chief of War, particularly discussing the final episode, which he directed. He discussed what it was like writing for co-stars Temuera Morrison and Cliff Curtis, while teasing an intense fight sequence that was "shot completely out of order." Check out what Momoa had to say below:
Joe Deckelmeier: Jason, let me say you're not just a great actor, but you are a f**king amazing director. That episode nine blew me away. Talk to me about what...
