Avatar: Fire and Ash
Another mega-title driving excitement is Avatar: Fire and Ash—the third installment in James Cameron’s epic franchise. Featuring a massive $250 million budget, it continues the story of Jake and Neytiri as they confront a new tribe known as the Ash People. The spectacular visuals and Cameron’s filmmaking legacy have made it one of the most anticipated blockbusters. Set to hit theaters December 19, 2025.

Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein
Guillermo del Toro’s long-gestating Frankenstein is finally arriving with an A-list cast that includes Oscar Isaac and Jacob Elordi.

It premieres at the Venice Film Festival on August 30, 2025, before rolling out theatrically and later on Netflix.
