Excitement for Avatar: Fire and Ash is reaching fever pitch, and fans are buzzing not just about James Cameron’s long-awaited third installment, but also about the potential lineup of trailers that could accompany its release. Rumors suggest that SS Rajamouli’s Varanasi might be among the previews, creating a wave of anticipation in India and across the globe.
Industry insiders speculate that Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, Marvel’s Avengers: Doomsday, and Steven Spielberg’s mysterious UFO project could all get early glimpses during Avatar 3 screenings. But the biggest excitement is reserved for Indian audiences, who may get to see the Varanasi trailer before diving into Pandora. According to chatter on the MJ Cartel’s X page, the trailer could debut in early 2027 alongside Avatar 3, though neither the makers of Avatar 3 nor the Varanasi team have confirmed this partnership.
The teaser for Varanasi, released earlier this month, has already set the internet on fire. Mahesh Babu appears in a rugged, adventurous avatar as Rudhra, while Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Prithviraj Sukumaran add star power and intensity, raising anticipation among fans.

Varanasi has also encountered some controversy. Producer Subba Reddy claims he registered the title Varanasi two years ago, sparking a legal dispute. One potential solution being discussed is releasing the Telugu version as Rajamouli’s Varanasi to preserve its identity while avoiding legal complications.
Reports from Tanzanian media suggest the film follows a “rugged explorer” on a high-stakes mission, battling nature and enemies to uncover a long-lost secret, drawing inspiration from Indiana Jones and classic African adventure films.
If the trailer does indeed release alongside Avatar 3, it would mark a monumental moment for Indian cinema, showcasing SS Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu to a global audience and highlighting India’s growing presence on the world stage.
