Paramount Pictures has unveiled the official logo for The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender, Nickelodeon Movies and Avatar Studios’ highly-anticipated animated feature film set in the Avatar: The Last Airbender universe!
The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender's logo reveal follows Paramount shifting the release date for the new movie. Previously slated for Friday, January 30, 2026, the film is now scheduled to be released on Friday, October 9, 2026. The release date shift stems from delays in animation physical production.
The Legend of Aang will continue the story begun in the critically acclaimed Nickelodeon animated series, Avatar: The Last Airbender (2005), which is set in a world divided into four nations — Water Tribe, Earth Kingdom, Fire Nation and Air Nomads — where beings called Benders have the power to control their realm’s element. A figure known as the “Avatar” is the only one who can control all four elements.
The series introduced a 12-year-old named Aang, the long-lost Avatar, and the new movie will pick up with the grown-up Aang (now in his early twenties) and his companions some years after the events of the show's finale.
The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender is being directed by series alum Lauren Montgomery (Superman: Doomsday, Wonder Woman, Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths) and co-directed by William Mata (Dora and the Fantastical Creatures), with series creators Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko executive producing alongside Eric Coleman. The voice cast is led by Eric Nam as Aang, Dave Bautista as an unnamed villain, Dionne Quan as Toph, Jessica Matten as Katara, Román Zaragoza as Sokka and Steven Yeun in a TBA role. The movie is being produced in association with Domain Entertainment.
The South Korean animation studio Studio Mir, who previously worked with Nickelodeon on Avatar: The Last Airbender spin-off The Legend of Korra in 2014, was recently tapped to work on the film, which will blend 2D animation with modern CG technology to create a unique hybrid look. Australia’s Flying Bark was previously attached in 2022.
Paramount Animation will host a special presentation of The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender at the 2025 Annecy International Animation Film Festival on Thursday, June 12. The movie's presentation will take place in the afternoon.
