James Cameron, as director and writer, confirmed that Michelle Yeoh will not appear in the third film of the AVATAR franchise, titled AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH. According to Cameron, the Oscar winner will only appear in the fourth and fifth editions of the AVATAR series.

James Cameron explained that there was misinformation regarding Yeoh's presence.
"Michelle Yeoh will not appear in the third film. She will appear in the fourth and fifth films, so there was a bit of a reporting error," he stated to Entertainment Weekly at the Disney D23 fan convention in Anaheim, California, on Sunday, August 11, 2024.

James Cameron also emphasized that Michelle Yeoh will return to portray an interesting and delightful character.
"We greatly admire Michelle. She is not just a movie star, but has become a huge phenomenon. I am very much looking forward to the opportunity to work with her," added James Cameron.

Disney announced Michelle Yeoh's involvement in the AVATAR franchise in 2019, where the Malaysian actress will portray the character Dr. Karina Mogue.

Two years later, the late producer Jon Landau uploaded a photo showing Yeoh on the set of the AVATAR film, sparking speculation about her presence in the third film. The caption of the post, which mentioned that Yeoh was keeping James Cameron busy amidst shooting preparations, added to audience anticipation.

The filmmaking team is currently working as quickly as possible to complete filming, especially to capture footage of the young actors. Cameron revealed that the story ideas for this franchise have been designed for a long time and the scripts for the fourth and fifth films have already been written. To manage the growth of young actors, Cameron and Landau filmed AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER, AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH, as well as the first act of the fourth film simultaneously in New Zealand.

AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH is scheduled to be released in theaters on December 19, 2025, followed by the planned AVATAR 4 on December 21, 2029, and AVATAR 5 on December 19, 2031. James Cameron, along with Zoe Saldana and Sam Worthington, announced the film's title at the Disney D23 Expo.

James Cameron stated that the characters in this film feel very alive and real, with emotional stakes higher than ever before.
"We are entering a very challenging territory for all the characters you know and love. This film may be different from what you expect, but it is clearly in line with what you want," he said.
AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH will continue the story from AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER (2022), which depicts the conflict between humans and the Na'vi after the RDA returns to Pandora. Cameron also introduced a new tribe on Pandora, the Ash Na'vi tribe, which has a fearsome appearance. Although there has been no official footage yet, some concept art has been shown, including Neytiri, played by Zoe Saldana, riding a large banshee that resembles a giant airship.
