"Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender" arrives July 25, 2026 on Paramount+, with a San Diego Comic-Con Hall H panel and fan screening in the days before.
It picks up Team Avatar's story after the original Nickelodeon series, set between that show and "The Legend of Korra." Eric Nam voices Aang, with Jessica Matten as Katara and Roman Zaragoza as Sokka. Steven Yeun plays Fire Lord Zuko, and Dee Bradley Baker returns for Appa and Momo.
Aang learns of an ancient power that could restore his culture and sets off on a global search before it falls into the wrong hands, joined along the way by Dave Bautista's Tagah, an airbender found frozen in ice, echoing Aang's own introduction, who promises to teach him Air Nomad ways lost since the Hundred Year War.
The production sits inside Avatar Studios, the Nickelodeon division built specifically to extend the Avatar universe, with original series creators Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino serving as producers on what is the studio's first release. The film had been positioned as a theatrical release before shifting to a streaming date, and the July slot was announced after the finished cut leaked online in April 2026.
Confirmed: the July 25 Paramount+ date, the returning voice cast, and the post-series setting explored through Aang and Tagah's parallel arcs. Unconfirmed: how the finished film balances spectacle with the character writing the original series was known for.
