Avatar 3 is an upcoming American epic science fiction film directed, со-produced, co-written, and co-edited by James Cameron, scheduled to be released on December 20, 2024. It is the second of four planned sequels to his film Avatar (2009) and will be the sequel to Avatar 2 (2022), making it the third film in Cameron's Avatar franchise. Cameron is producing the film with Jon Landau, with Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver originally announced as his co-writers; it was later announced that Cameron, Jaffa, Silver, Josh Friedman, and Shane Salerno took a part in the writing process of all of the sequels before being assigned to finish the separate scripts, making the eventual writing credits unclear.

Reprising their roles from the second film are Cliff Curtis, Edie Falco, Brendan Cowell, Michelle Yeoh, Jemaine Clement, and Oona Chaplin.

Avatar 3 started shooting simultaneously with Avatar 2 on August 15, 2017. Two additional sequels are intended to start shooting as soon as the first two wrap post-production and are expected to be released on December 18, 2026, and December 22, 2028, respectively.
