Promotional material from Target has leaked new images of the adult versions of Aang, Katara, Sokka, Toph, and Zuko from the upcoming film The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender. The images also introduce a new character who appears to be an airbender. The movie, originally planned for theaters, will now stream on Paramount+ starting October 9.
The franchise of Avatar: The Last Airbender, which concluded its original Nickelodeon run in 2008, continues to expand with sequels like The Legend of Korra and an upcoming series titled Avatar: Seven Havens. The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender marks the return of the original protagonists as adults in a Paramount production set for release this October.
Recent leaks from Target's promotional materials for the film provide the first detailed visuals of the grown-up characters. These include Aang, Katara, Sokka, Toph, and Zuko, depicted years after the events of the original series. One group image features a previously unrevealed character sporting tattoos similar to Aang's, suggesting he is another airbender, though details about him remain scarce.
The project's release strategy shifted late last year when Paramount announced it would bypass theaters and go directly to streaming on Paramount+. This change disappointed fans eager for a big-screen experience. Director Lauren Montgomery expressed enthusiasm for the film, stating, “The movie is amazing!!! That might not mean much coming from the director. I might have some bias, but I feel the need to put that out there. This movie deserves to be seen on a big screen!” Efforts are underway to potentially restore a theatrical rollout before the October 9 premiere.
The voice cast features Eric Nam as Aang, Dionne Quan as Toph, Jessica Matten as Katara, Roman Zaragoza as Sokka, and Steven Yeun as Zuko. Additional roles go to actors including Dave Bautista, Ke Huy Quan, and Taika Waititi, with their characters undisclosed. While the original voice actors are not returning, the film aims to honor the beloved source material.
