James Cameron is back in the spotlight with the theatrical re-release of his blockbuster Avatar: The Water Way. This sequel to the hugely successfulAvatar will be shown exclusively in cinemas for one week, giving audiences the chance to rediscover Pandora in 3D before the release of the third opus scheduled for the end of the year. Winner of the Oscar for Best Visual Effects, the film stars Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, Kate Winslet and Stephen Lang.
A new trailer accompanies this eventful re-release, allowing viewers to relive the immersive experience imagined by James Cameron.
Avatar: The Water Way will be released in 3D theaters for an exceptional week from October 1 to 7, 2025. The film has also been available on Disney+ since February 9, 2025.
Synopsis: Set over a decade after the events of the first film, AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER tells the story of the Sully family (Jake, Neytiri and their children), the trials they face, the paths they must take to protect each other, the battles they must fight to stay alive, and the tragedies they endure.
With over $2.3 billion in worldwide box-office receipts and more than 14 million spectators in France, Avatar: The Water Way has become a veritable cultural phenomenon. This exclusive 3D re-release offers a unique opportunity to relive the experience on the big screen and immerse yourself in the spectacular visual universe created by James Cameron and his team.
This release coincides with the preparation of the third film in the saga, Avatar: Of Fire and Ashes, due in December 2025. Audiences will be able to reconnect with the world of Pandora and its emblematic characters before discovering the continuation of the adventures of the Sully family.
The film should appeal to a wide audience: science-fiction fans, 3D cinema enthusiasts and those who have already been impressed by the visual experience of the first Avatar. Audiences curious to discover or rediscover the richness of the marine scenery, the new Na'vi cultures and the gallery of aquatic creatures imagined by James Cameron should particularly appreciate this re-release.

It stars Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Kate Winslet and a new generation of actors including Britain Dalton, Jamie Flatters, Trinity Jo-Li Bliss, Bailey Bass and Jack Champion.
