James Cameron’s Avatar: Fire and Ash has unveiled a breathtaking new trailer and poster ahead of its December 19, 2025 release. While plot details are scarce, the Na’vi now face not only the RDA but also a full-scale Earth invasion.

The trailer introduces the Ash People, or Mangkwan Clan, led by Oona Chaplin’s fierce Varang — marking a darker turn for Pandora. Returning cast members include Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang and Kate Winslet.

To build excitement, Avatar: The Way of Water will return to theatres in 3D for one week starting October 3.

Marvel is giving Venom a bold makeover in Venom #252 by Al Ewing, Paco Medina and Carlos Gómez, out December 3. The issue will debut a red-and-blue suit and a new alias — with Venom taking on Spider-Man’s mantle!

The synopsis hints at Luke Cage and Otto Octavius clashing with the symbiote’s new identity. Fans will also get a bonus story introducing another Venom and a flashback by the creators of 1984’s Amazing Spider-Man #252, where Spidey’s black suit first appeared. The redesign is part of Marvel’s larger refresh featuring new costumes for Spider-Woman, Daredevil, Moon Knight, Black Widow, Wolverine and more.
