Water. Earth. Fire. Air. Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when a new Avatar: The Last Airbender movie was announced. Yes, we’re getting a cinematic outing that will continue the story of all our favorite characters from the original series. The Gaang, a.k.a Aang, Katara, Sokka, Zuko, Toph, and company, will grace our screens again in a brand new movie titled Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender.
After a set of rough circumstances, we finally know exactly when Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender will release. Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender will premiere globally on Paramount+ on Saturday, July 25. You can check out its trailer above.
Here’s everything we know about the new Avatar: The Last Airbender movie.
Title
The new Avatar: The Last Airbender animated movie finally revealed its new name. The Avatar: The Last Airbender movie is now officially titled Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender. That’s not much of a change from the working title Aang: The Last Airbender, but hey, why not?
Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender Movie‘s Plot
It seems the group in Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender is somewhere in their late 20s. That will certainly be an interesting age to explore the dynamics between them all. Target has also shared some first looks at the adult Gaang, and they look GOOD!
A synopsis shares, “Avatar Aang, the world’s last Airbender, learns of an ancient power that could save his culture from extinction. With the help of his friends, he embarks on a global quest to find it before it falls into the wrong hands and threatens to upend the peace they sacrificed everything to achieve.“
We assume the movie will also reveal to us Aang, Zuko, and pals’ continued quest to bring peace to the four nations after the intense upheaval Fire Lord Ozai wreaked upon the world. A lot still needs fixed, after all. We hope this movie can continue the series’ legacy of delivering exactly the right story to its fans.
Additionally, we know that this movie is one of three animated Avatar movies that Nickelodeon’s Avatar Studios will create. Avatar Studios is “a newly formed division designed to create original content spanning animated series and movies based on the beloved world of Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra.” We don’t know, however, if the movies will serve as sequels to one another or each will be a stand-alone.
The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender Movie‘s Cast
We know that Dave Bautista and Eric Nam will headline the voice cast of the new Avatar: The Last Airbender animated movie. Bautista will play a villain in the film, while Nam will voice Aang. Joining this pair in the voice cast are Jessica Matten (“Katara”), Román Zaragoza (“Sokka”), Steven Yeun (“Zuko”) and Dionne Quan (“Toph”), alongside Freida Pinto, Ke Huy Quan, Taika Waititi, Geraldine Viswanathan, Ronny Chieng, and Ken Jeong. Dee Bradley Baker reprises his roles as Aang’s beloved pets, Appa and Momo.
Recently, Toph’s original voice actress Michaela Jae Murphy, also knowns as Jessie Flower, noted she didn’t believe the original cast would return. However, there’s not yet an official confirmation of this statement. Hopefully, our original actors will have a role to play yet.
Behind the Scenes
Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender was directed by Lauren Montgomery and co-directed by Steve Ahn and William Mata.

Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender Movie‘s Release Date
The new Avatar: The Last Airbender movie will also skip theaters and head right for Paramount+. We admit, we’d been hoping to see this one in movie theaters. But these days, it is what it is. It seems Paramount+ will be the new home for ALL Avatar: The Last Airbender animated content, including The Legend of Aang.
Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender will release on Paramount+ on Saturday, July 25.
