Does Avatar: Fire and Ash have a post-credits scene? Details revealed

Avatar: Fire and Ash is a film in the epic science fiction genre that serves as the third entry in the franchise. It's a sequel to 2022's Avatar: The Way of Water and is directed by James Cameron. He has co-produced it with the late Jon Landau under their production banner Lightstorm Entertainment. Here's the official synopsis according to IMDb:

Jake and Neytiri's family grapples with grief after Neteyam's death, encountering a new, aggressive Na'vi tribe, the Ash People, who are led by the fiery Varang, as the conflict on Pandora escalates and a new moral focus emerges.

The film does not have a post-credits scene.

Does Avatar: Fire and Ash have an end-credits scene?

No, Avatar: Fire and Ash does not have a post-credits or end-credits scene. This means that the film ends on a definitive note once the credits appear. The first two installments also ended without any such scenes. So the makers don't drop any hint or possibility of a fourth film. Its storyline begins right after the end of The Way of Water. While most of the subplots are resolved, there are still some loose ends that could be resolved if a fourth film happens. This includes Varang being on the run after her fight with Neytiri. The Sully family is happy, but the villains are still out there.

Since the 2009 film came out, director James Cameron has been quite open to say that he wants to make four more installments. In his appearance on a podcast in November, Cameron hinted that Avatar: Fire and Ash might be the end of the franchise. He stated that the viewing capacity is not what it was in 2019.

“We’re at about 75% of what [moviegoing] was in 2019."

He added,

“It is one metric f*ck ton of money, which means we have to make two metric f*ck tons of money to make a profit. I have no doubt this movie will make money. The question is, does it make enough money to justify doing it again? I’ve been in Avatar land for 20 years — actually 30 if you count when I wrote it. Yeah, absolutely. Sure. If this is where it ends, cool."

In a separate interview with THR, Cameron said that the fate of Avatar: Fire and Ash might determine the franchise's future.

"This can be the last one. There's only one [unanswered question] in the story. We may find that the release of Avatar 3 proves how diminished the cinematic experience is these days, or we may find it proves the case that it's as strong as it ever was — but only for certain types of films. It's a coin toss right now. We won't know until the middle of January,"

Cameron wanted to make the first Avatar in the 1990s, but couldn't go ahead as there was no technology available for it. He eventually started working on it in the early 2000s, and the film was released in 2009. It became a major critical and commercial success.
