James Cameron's Avatar franchise has dominated the box office with each new release. The first Avatar movie is still the highest grossing movie of all time, with no signs of being dethroned from that title any time soon.
The third film in the series, Avatar: Fire and Ash, is still only available to buy digitally. But if you're looking to stream the first two movies online, you can currently find them on Disney+. This is also where Fire and Ash will land on June 24 when it comes to streaming.
Where to Watch the Avatar Movies Online
The Avatar movies are only available to stream on Disney+, but there are a few different ways to go about getting a subscription. While there are still standalone Disney+ plans, there's also a series of different bundles available that are likely a better choice. I'd recommend either the Hulu and Disney+ bundle or the Hulu, Disney+, and HBO Max bundle to save as much as possible. There's also a Hulu + Live TV free trial available that includes Disney+ that you can check out if you want to avoid paying anything.
If you don't mind renting or buying digital movies, you can also find the first two films on VOD platforms like Prime Video and Apple TV.
When will Avatar: Fire and Ash be available to stream?
Now that Avatar: Fire and Ash has been available to buy digitally for some time, we finally have a streaming release date of June 24. We already knew that the movie won't comie to Disney+ until after its 4K Blu-ray release date, which has been confirmed for May 19, 2026, so this date is about what we expected
The Future of the Avatar Franchise
It may seem inevitable that James Cameron would keep putting out Avatar movies, given their box office performance, but that might not end up being the case. Despite Avatar: Fire and Ash being one of the highest grossing movies of 2025, it apparently takes a surprising amount of money to break even with these films. James Cameron himself commented on this before the latest film's theatrical release, saying, "I have no doubt in my mind that this movie will make money. The question is, does it make enough money to justify doing it again?”
In that same interview, he went on to say that if Avatar 4 and 5 don't end up getting greenlit, he'd be happy to write a book to tie up any loose threads left behind. After the initial box office numbers rolled in for 2026, Cameron was spotted in another interview saying he'd need to find a cheaper way to produce the next movies to continue with the series. So as of right now, it's unclear if the series will continue or not. The most recent positive update was from the producer of the movies, who said they were stil 'full speed ahead' on planning.
