Just when fans least expected it, an all new trailer of ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’ was released online. The trailer comes two months ahead of the release of the highly anticipated third chapter in James Cameron’s billion dollar sci-fi saga. The footage, released on Thursday, gives fans a look into the mind and motive of the Ash clan. The opening shot features Oona Chaplin as Varang, sharing her back story. In a hauntingly menacing tone, she says, “This is the only purest thing in this world. The fire came from the mountain. Burnt our forests. My people cried for help but Eywa did not come.”
