How to Watch the Avatar Movies in Order
Here’s a full list of all of the Avatar movies that have been both released and are :
Avatar (2009)
Avatar: The Way of Water (2022)
Avatar 3 (2025)
Avatar 4 (2029)
Avatar 5 (2031)
The first Avatar film was written and directed by James Cameron for 20th Century Studios in 2009. It follows the story of Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), a paraplegic US Marine who is brought into a Resources Development istration (RDA) project to extract the resource unobtanium from the moon of Pandora. To do this, Jake’s consciousness is transplanted into the body of a Na’vi avatar, so that he can navigate through the native population. But as he integrates into the Na’vi community — even finding a partner in Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña) — he grows to deeply appreciate their way of life and rebels against the RDA’s plan to violently uproot the community and take their resources.
The second film, Avatar: The Way of Water, is once more written and directed by James Cameron, and returns to Pandora over a decade later. Jake and Neytiri have started a family, and Jake is now the chief of the Omaticaya Na’vi clan. However, when the RDA returns to Pandora with intentions to colonise, Jake, his family, and the Omaticaya seek refuge in the planet’s water region where the Metkayina clan reside as they regroup for a rebellion.
While information about Avatar 3 has remained sparse, James Cameron gave some insight in 2022 to French publication 20 Minutes, saying he wanted to explore more Na’vi tribes and show their darker side. The Way of Water introduced the water tribe of the Metkayina, and in Avatar 3 he plans to introduce the war-oriented Ash People, who represent fire and live near volcanoes.
Even less information is known about Avatar 5, hinting that there will be a storyline in which Neytiri comes to Earth and gets to experience Jake's home planet for the first time.
