Paramount has confirmed a 2025 release date for its previously-announced Avatar: The Last Airbender animated film.
As reported by Variety, Avatar will bring its next movie to the screen on October 10, 2025. It's the first of three planned Avatar movies from Paramount and Nickelodeon, but little else is known about the project right now other than it being referred to as the "untitled Aang Avatar film," with Lauren Montgomery at the helm as director.

As the project name suggests, the first film from Avatar Studios will focus on the series' original hero: Aang. Unfortunately, there haven't been any specific plot details shared just yet, such as when in Aang's life the movie might take place and whether any other characters from the original series might make an appearance.
Several Avatar veterans are returning to assist Montgomery with the first movie. Series creators Bryan Konietzko and Michael DiMartino, who previously stepped away from Netflix's live-action Avatar adaptation, are on board as producers alongside Eric Coleman, the executive producer and production manager of The Last Airbender series.
All three films are being developed under the Avatar Studios banner, which was launched last year with the goal of creating original series and movies set in the beloved world of Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra, for release on Paramount+, Nickelodeon platforms, and unspecified third-party platforms, as well as in cinemas.
It was also announced last year that Nickelodeon had started laying the groundwork for an "Avatar Airbender universe" that would encompass multiple TV series and movies across various platforms. Avatar Studios leaders Konietzko and DiMartino noted that "there are still many stories and time periods in Aang's world" to be covered on-screen.
