It was a complete massive takeover as AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH‘s Canadian Premiere took place at Toronto’s Scotiabank Theatre last night. Visionary Canadian FilmmakerJames Cameron got a hero’s welcome home, bringing along with him Avatar Franchise star Stephen Lang to walk the carpet. The theatre was decked-out for a fully immersive experience with displays, carpets, lighting, decals, props, and more. Lucky guests who got to see the Film first witnessed an introduction by Cameron and Lang. Canadian Actor Filip Geljo (Aonung) also was in-attendance.

This third Avatar film is poised to add to the historic Franchise’s record-setting success. To date, the previous films together have grossed $5.2 billion globally. In this installment, we see Jake (Sam Worthington) and Neytiri (Zoe Saldana) cope with loss, yet also encountering a new aggressive Na’vi clan led by Varang (Oona Chaplin), plus the potential resurgence of former enemies, including Colonel Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang).

We had the absolute pleasure of chatting with both Lang and Cameron as they made their way down a super-sized press line, giving facetime to influencers and Media alike, showing grace and generosity with their time.

While brief, Justin Waldman and I got to chat with Lang who once again reprises his role as Quaritch and he speaks candidly about the process of performance capture – which he has now mastered – and also about his own experience with fatherhood, playing a father in the Film.

Cameron spoke about his experience being a Kapuskasing native and how that informs his filmmaking, what he loves about Toronto, and also the importance of seeing AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH in cinemas.

20th Century Studios Canada release AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH in theatres December 19, 2025.

Justin Waldman‘s review here. This Film must be witnessed for the spectacle alone!
