Development[edit]
On February 24, 2021, ViacomCBS announced during its annual Investor Day the formation of Avatar Studios, a new division of Nickelodeon dedicated to the creation of projects based on animated television series Avatar: The Last Airbender (2005–08) and The Legend of Korra (2012–14). The series creators and executive producers Bryan Konietzko and Michael DiMartino would serve as co-chief creative officers. It was also announced that the studio's first project is an animated theatrical film that would begin production later in 2021.[1][2] In June 2022, it was announced that Lauren Montgomery, a former storyboard artist on Avatar and a supervising producer for Korra, would serve as director. Konietzko and DiMartino will serve as producers alongside Avatar: The Last Airbender executive producer Eric Coleman.[3] In July that same year, Janet Varney, the voice of Korra, revealed that the plot of the movie will revolve around Aang and his friends.[4][5]
A sneak peak of the film was revealed at Paramount Pictures' CinemaCon presentation in April 2023, confirming that the film would follow The Last Airbender's cast in their young adulthood.[6][7]

In October 2022, it was reported that Flying Bark Productions in Sydney, Australia, will provide animation for the film. The film will combine hand-drawn animation with CG elements. Alexia Gates-Foale, director of production for Flying Bark, said that working on the film will be "a dream project" for the studio due to multiple employees being fans of the franchise.[8]
Release[edit]
The film is set for theatrical release on October 10, 2025, by Paramount Pictures.[9]
