Movie fans are being invited back to Pandora, for an extended version of James Cameron’s Avatar: Fire and Ash on 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray, with more than nine hours of bonus material, including over six hours of previously unseen content.
The Avatar: Fire and Ash Collector’s Edition arrives on December 21, promising an extensive look at the making of the third film in the blockbuster science-fiction saga. The release includes all-new deleted and extended scenes, plus performance capture demonstrations, scene deconstructions and behind-the-scenes insights.
The movie follows Jake and Neytiri as they guide their family through grief and travel with the nomadic Wind Traders across Pandora. Their journey brings them into conflict with the Ash People, a new Na’vi clan that has turned against Eywa and the ancient ways of Pandora.
The blockbuster coined $1.5 billion worldwide, and its spectacular visual effects attracted major recognition, including awards from the Academy and BAFTA.

Exploring the Avatar: Fire and Ash Collector’s Edition bonus features
The Collector’s Edition puts considerable emphasis on the creative and technical work behind the film. The six hour bonus footage promises a closer look at the performances, visual effects and production processes that bring Pandora to life.
The deleted and extended scenes offer several new glimpses of the story. Among them are an extended journey with the Wind Traders and a longer sequence in which the Sullys escape the Ash People through a swamp. Deleted material includes Selfridge’s arrival, Lo’ak chasing Payakan, the coming-of-age ceremony and a sequence in which Jake and Spider are held captive at Bridgehead. There are also alternative story moments involving Quaritch, Ardmore, Neytiri and the Metkayina.
Performance capture side-by-side presentations show how the actors’ physical performances translate into the finished digital characters.
Five scene deconstructions examine key moments in greater detail. These include Varang’s fire dance and the Sullys’ escape, Kiri discovering her connection to Eywa, and Kiri teaching Spider to ride an ilu. The presentations offer a closer look at how individual sequences are assembled, from performance and staging to the finished screen image.
Two performance capture demonstrations feature Stephen Lang with Oona Chaplin, and Sam Worthington with Sigourney Weaver. Both were filmed at Manhattan Beach Studios on November 25 2025. They provide a unique insight into the way the actors worked within the production’s performance capture process.
The deluxe disc package also includes two episodes of Fire and Water: Making the Avatar Films, a feature on Stephen Lang titled Infinite Space, and a series of awards-season panels featuring cast members, filmmakers and department heads.
Additional features broaden the behind-the-scenes coverage. Igniting the Flame: The Making of Avatar: Fire and Ash explores the production through interviews and exclusive footage. A tribute to producer Jon Landau brings together memories from cast and crew, recognising his contribution to the Avatar films.
Helpfully, an RDA orientation series, presented as training material for prospective recruits to the Resources Development Administration, covers basic Na’vi language and provides briefings on Pandora’s clans and environments.
The package wraps with a short film titled Gone with the Wind TrAIders Crew, marketing materials and Miley Cyrus’s music video for the end-title song, ‘Dream as One’.
The Avatar: Fire and Ash Collector’s Edition arrives on 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray on 21 December, priced at £40 from Amazon.
