The sequel to the masterpiece 〈Avatar〉 series, which has maintained the number one spot in the all-time worldwide box office rankings for 16 years and attracted 13.33 million viewers in Korea, 〈Avatar: Fire and Ash〉 has confirmed its worldwide premiere in Korea on December 17 (Wednesday) and released launch stills. 〈Avatar: Fire and Ash〉 tells the story of an even greater crisis unfolding on Pandora, covered in fire and ash, as the Ash tribe led by 'Varang' appears before the 'Sully' family, who are grieving the death of 'Neteyam', the first son of 'Jake' and 'Neytiri'. This is the third installment of the 〈Avatar〉 series, which has garnered global box office success with 13.33 million viewers in Korea. Unlike the refreshing mood of previous films, this installment will introduce a Pandora never seen before, covered in fire and ash, along with a new Na'vi tribe, adding to the excitement of the film. Additionally, new awe-inspiring creatures will appear, promising a rich and entertaining experience. Unlike the previous film, which depicted the conflict between humans and the Na'vi, this new story and scale will showcase the conflict between the Na'vi and the Na'vi, heightening anticipation even further.

The launch stills released alongside the news of the worldwide premiere feature the fierce Na'vi warrior 'Neytiri' (Zoe Saldana) and the leader of the Ash tribe 'Varang' (Una Chaplin), who has lost his home due to a volcano and harbors anger towards the planet Pandora, capturing their intense expressions that overwhelm viewers. In particular, 'Neytiri's' expression, which is a complex mix of grief over losing her son, the responsibility to protect her remaining family, and anger towards the enemy, further stimulates curiosity about the complex journey of the 'Sully' family that will unfold in this film. With the fight between the 'Sully' family, who seek to protect Pandora and their tribe, and 'Varang', who wishes to expand his power alongside 'Colonel Quaritch', foreshadowing an even greater threat and scale of action, the excitement is making the hearts of fans and the public race.
