LOS ANGELES — A newly released trailer for James Cameron’s third installment in the “Avatar” franchise, “Avatar: Fire and Ash,” reveals a stunning new look at Pandora, featuring new clans, environments and creatures.

In the trailer, a member of the Ash People explains “the fire came from the mountain, burnt our forests. My people cried for help, but Eywa did not come.”

We see the Sully family band together once again against the threat of humans and outside forces. Warrior and mother Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña) is even painted the red and black colors of the Ash People.

“What if every human being on Earth could live here without a mask? Then the Na’vi people will be gone,” says Jake Sully (Sam Worthington).

The new footage reveals a look at Miles “Spider” Socorro, a human, who has found a way to connect with Eywa and the Neural Network, allowing him to live on Pandora without a mask. Spider even goes as far as bonding with a water-based creature through a neural queue, an organ found among most Pandoran species.

Watch the trailer above for even more glimpses of the upcoming film.

Alongside Worthington and Saldaña, the film stars Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Oona Chaplin, Cliff Curtis, Joel David Moore, CCH Pounder, Edie Falco, David Thewlis, Jemaine Clement, Giovanni Ribisi, Britain Dalton, Jamie Flatters, Trinity Jo-Li Bliss, Jack Champion, Brendan Cowell, Bailey Bass, Filip Geljo, Duane Evans, Jr. and Kate Winslet.

It has a screenplay by James Cameron, Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver, and a story by James Cameron, Rick Jaffa, Amanda Silver, Josh Friedman and Shane Salerno.
