Avatar: The Last Airbender co-creator Bryan Konietzko has revealed that the upcoming sequel movie is complete: “It’s Done, It’s Awesome.”
2026 is all set up to be a big year for the Avatar: The Last Airbender Universe. There’s exciting content spanning different mediums. For instance, we’re getting a graphic novels about the Kyoshi Warriors and Jet – Rebels and Rhinos, both published by Dark Horse Comics. Additionally, the live-action Netflix series will return for its second season. But perhaps the most exciting of all is the upcoming sequel animated movie from Avatar Studios, titled The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender.
The first production of Avatar Studios, The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender is directed by Lauren Montgomery. Original creators Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino are involved as executive producers. The all-star voice cast includes Eric Nam (Aang), Dionne Quan (Toph Beifong), Jessica Matten (Katara), Román Zaragoza (Sokka), and Steven Yeun (Zuko). Dave Bautista will voice the film’s villain. The official synopsis reads:
“The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender is about Avatar Aang, the world’s last Airbender, who 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 upends the peace they sacrificed everything to achieve.”
After years of waiting, the requisite Avatar: The Last Airbender movie is finally finished and ready to go. But don’t take it from us. In a recent Instagram post, Avatar co-creator Bryan Konietzko confirmed the completion. “For the folks asking about the movie: all I can say at this point is it’s done, it’s awesome, and we can’t wait to share it with everyone. Thanks for your interest and stay tuned.”
In a previous interview, Konietzko rhapsodised about the movie. “Directed by Avatar veteran Lauren Montgomery… and a bunch of other absolutely incredible folks, they are working so hard right now,” he teased. It is incredibly beautiful. There is nothing that looks like this. It’s 2D animation with these really beautiful, deep canvas environments… it’s gonna blow you away.”
The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender will debut on Paramount+ this Fall. The movie was originally meant for a theatrical release, but has since been revealed to head direct to streaming (although fans are petitioning!)
