Zoë Saldaña as Neytiri bonds with a massive tulkun in the deepest oceans, her eyes blazing with grief-turned-rage… while Sam Worthington’s Jake Sully leads the Sully family into unknown territories where Eywa itself chooses a new heir!
Bioluminescent waves crash, tulkun songs echo like thunder, skies fill with ikran and toruk shadows, and Kiri (Sigourney Weaver) unleashes power that could rewrite Pandora forever. But the humans are back — stronger, hungrier — and this time, the planet remembers EVERY betrayal.

Avatar 4, the fourth chapter in James Cameron’s ambitious five-film plan, has no official trailer as of February 2026. Yet fan-made concept videos titled Avatar 4: The Tulkun Rider (2029) — starring Zoë Saldaña as Neytiri and Sam Worthington as Jake Sully — have exploded across YouTube and social media, amassing millions of views with stunning visuals of tulkun-bonding, oceanic battles, and next-generation Na’vi drama.
These unofficial trailers, built from AI enhancements, clips from prior films, and dramatic voiceovers, imagine a time-jumped story set roughly eight years after Avatar: Fire and Ash (released December 19, 2025). They emphasize tulkun (the intelligent whale-like creatures central to Metkayina culture in The Way of Water) as key elements, with Neytiri riding one in epic sequences, Kiri (Sigourney Weaver) deepening her mysterious Eywa connection, and the Sully family venturing into uncharted biomes. Themes of legacy, evolution, and Pandora “choosing its heir” dominate, often with haunting tulkun songs and bioluminescent spectacles.
In reality, the film’s official title remains unannounced — “The Tulkun Rider” traces to a 2018 rumor Cameron dismissed as one of many ideas under consideration. Disney lists it simply as Avatar 4, slated for December 21, 2029. Production status is partial: about one-third was filmed back-to-back with Fire and Ash to accommodate child actors’ aging, with full principal photography expected in 2026. Cameron has reiterated his commitment to directing both Avatar 4 and 5 (2031), but he tied continuation to Fire and Ash‘s performance — which crossed $1.4-1.5 billion worldwide but trailed predecessors (The Way of Water at $2.3B) amid reports of $400-500 million budgets making profitability tight.
The cast returns core players: Worthington as Jake Sully (Toruk Makto and family patriarch), Saldaña as the fierce Neytiri, Weaver as Kiri (the adopted daughter with enigmatic ties to Eywa), Stephen Lang as the relentless recom Colonel Quaritch, and supporting roles from Kate Winslet, Britain Dalton (Lo’ak), Trinity Jo-Li Bliss (Tuk), Jack Champion (Spider), and newcomers like Michelle Yeoh as a new Na’vi character (possibly Ptoella or similar). Oona Chaplin and others round out the ensemble.
Cameron’s vision pushes boundaries: new regions of Pandora (potentially arctic-inspired or deeper oceanic expanses), advanced motion-capture for performance depth, and heavier focus on the younger generation amid ongoing human-Na’vi tensions. Reports suggest Kiri may narrate portions, shifting from Jake’s perspective, with themes exploring biological bonds to the planet and the cost of survival.
Fan concepts thrive in the vacuum — trailers showcase breathtaking VFX (tulkun breaching glowing seas, ikran swarms, neural queue connections), emotional beats (Neytiri’s grief-fueled resolve, Jake’s leadership burden), and high-stakes action (clashes with RDA forces, Pandora “fighting back” via natural forces). Reactions split: praise for the immersive beauty and evolution from forest to ocean to new frontiers, criticism that concepts feel like “AI fan fiction” or worry the franchise’s massive scale risks diminishing returns.
The Avatar saga has grossed over $6 billion across three films, with groundbreaking tech (3D, performance capture, underwater filming). Fire and Ash delivered spectacle but faced box-office fatigue concerns — Cameron has been candid, saying he’d walk away if audiences didn’t support the vision, though he’s “healthy and good to go” for the final two. Disney’s long lead time (dates set years ago) and partial footage shot provide momentum, but rising costs and evolving theatrical landscape add pressure.
Marketing will likely ramp up in 2027-2028 with teasers timed for major events. For now, fan trailers keep Pandora alive, reminding viewers of the saga’s unmatched ambition: a world so vivid it feels real, characters so deep they endure, and a story that could redefine cinematic epics.
Whether Avatar 4 delivers that promise — tulkun riders and all — depends on box-office winds and Cameron’s resolve. Until official footage arrives, the bioluminescence flickers on screens worldwide, waiting for Eywa’s next move.
