The first animated Avatar: The Last Airbender movie is heading to an algorithm near you. Earlier today, Paramount announced that the new\u00a0Last Airbender sequel film, The Legend Of Aang,\u00a0which returns the series to its original protagonist, Aang, will skip theaters and head straight to streaming next fall. Aang is an expansion of the wildly popular Last Airbender franchise, taking place between\u00a0Avatar\u00a0and\u00a0Legend Of Korra,\u00a0and will be followed by a new streaming series, Avatar: Seven Havens. First announced in 2021, the movie has a formidable voice cast, including Taika Waititi, Geraldine Viswanathan, Dee Bradley Baker, Freida Pinto, Ke Huy Quan, Dave Bautista, Eric Nam, Jessica Matten, Dionne Quan, Rom\u00e1n Zaragoza, and Steven Yeun.<\/p>\n
Both Avatar and its first spin-off, The Legend of Korra, have remained viable animated franchises over the years, with a growing and fervent fanbase. Avatar\u00a0has also been adapted twice. There was, of course, M. Night Shyamalan\u2019s 2010 live-action adaptation, which people often forget was actually a pretty big hit. There was also a live-action Netflix series<\/a> that was released in 2024, which, frankly, failed to have the stickiness of Netflix\u2019s other live-action adaptation of another beloved animated fantasy, One Piece. Still, two more seasons (and no more)<\/a> of Airbender are on the way.<\/p>\n Still, while Avatar is an American production, its heavy anime influence surely would\u2019ve grabbed some of the moviegoers who made Demon Slayer and Chainsaw Man hits. Not to mention, two decades of fans who grew up with the show and now want to expose their children to it. But what do we know? We\u2019re just a website that wants people to go to the movies more, and an animated family adventure film based on popular IP would\u2019ve been a good opportunity to make our dreams a reality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The first animated Avatar: The Last Airbender movie is heading to an algorithm near you.
