Development forThe Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender, the brand-newAvatar: The Last Airbendermovie, is fully underway. Not much is known beyond some of the cast members and the basic plot of following an adult Team Avatar, but with a release date of June 19, 2025, it hopefully won’t be long before more information comes out.
2026’sThe Legend of Aang: The Last Airbenderwill be the first major production of Avatar Studios, a production company founded byLast Airbendercreators Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino specifically to create moreAirbendercontent, and while it won’t come out until 2026,there’s reason to suspect that moreAvatar: The Last Airbendercontent beyond the upcoming movie is already in development. The franchise has been making an amazing comeback in recent years, and with more movies on the way, that will be solidified for years to come.
Avatar Studios Might Have Accidentally Revealed More Avatar Movies Are Coming
There’s Plenty More In Store For Avatar Studios
Even though there hasn’t been any content from Avatar Studios since it was first founded, that doesn’t mean there isn’t anything to be excited about. Not only is there the aforementioned movie,The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender,to look forward to, butin celebration of the cartoon’s 20th anniversary,a newAvatarcartoon,Avatar: Seven Havens, was officially announced to be in development, as well. There’s plenty to look forward to in both animation and live-action, and overall, that’s nothing but exciting.
People are already plenty familiar with what little has been officially announced from Avatar Studios, but there might be even more than that in store. Following the Paramount panel at Cinema Con 2025, a job listing went up on Paramount’s official LinkedIn page for an executive to oversee not justThe Legend of AangandSeven Havens, but “other films set in the universe currently in development”. That means thatAvatar Studios is already developing movies beyondThe Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender, and hopefully, there will be official announcements for them soon.
Avatar Fans Might Already Know Avatar Studios’ Next Big Movies
Airbender’s Next Movies Have Been Known For Years
There are officially moreAirbendermovies in development beyondThe Legend of Aang, and fans might already know what they are. In the first few years following Avatar Studios’ establishment, leaks started coming out about various projects that were in development for both theaters and television, and among those leaks were leaks aboutThe Legend of AangandSeven Havens. Both of those ended up being true, and because of that,fans ofAvatar: The Last Airbendermight already know what the next movies are thanks to various leaks.
As for what those leaked projects are, they’re all worth looking forward to. According to the leaks, Avatar Studios should currently be working on films starring an adult Zuko, Korra from some point followingThe Legend of Korra, and Kyoshi from an unspecified point of time in her life, either during or after the events of theAvatar Kyoshibooks. Details are naturally sparse to nonexistent, but overall,the upcomingAvatar: The Last Airbendermovies will all follow characters and periods people have been waiting decades to see more of, and that will be great to see.
What Could Avatar: The Last Airbender’s Next Movies Be About?
Predicting The Plots Of Airbender’s Next Movies
While nothing concrete has been revealed about the nextAirbendermovies, it’s not impossible to predict their stories. For the Kyoshi movie, while it would be easy enough to simply adapt theAvatar Kyoshibooks, there’s a major gap of time after the books that has yet to be explored, which would include things like what happened to Kyoshi’s lover, Rangi, or why Kyoshi wasn’t more proactive about dealing with Chin the Conqueror.There are numerous stories a Kyoshi movie could tell both within and beyond theAvatar Kyoshibooks, and there’s no telling how far things could go.
For the Zuko movie, since Zuko will be an adult, it will likely be a follow-up toThe Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender, either as a direct sequel or simply the next story in the lives of Aang and his friends.An easy route to go with a Zuko movie would be to adaptThe Search, theAvatar: The Last Airbendercomicthat revealed the truth of what happened to Zuko’s mom, but that happened earlier than when the movie would be set, so unless it’s being retconned, there’s no clear idea of what the story would be about.
The most exciting movie of the leaks, of course, is the potential Korra movie. Getting more content for Korra is great in and of itself, butSeven Havenswill be tied heavily to Korra’s character, as she did something that almost destroyed the world and made everyone come to hate the Avatar, soaLegend of Korramovie can work as a prequel toAvatar: Seven Havensto explainwhy everyone hates Korra in the new show. All of that is hypothetical, of course, but nevertheless, it would be a great route for the movie to go down.
Why Avatar: The Last Airbender Getting So Many New Movies Is So Great
Airbender Has Never Been Bigger Than It Is Now
As older fans will know, following the success of the original cartoon, theAirbenderfranchise went through a very rough patch in the 2010s thanks to how poorlyThe Legend of Korrawas treated by Nickelodeon and the universally-maligned movie by M. Night Shyamalan damaging the brand, and it seemed like it was destined to fade into obscurity. Now, though,the success of Netflix’sAvatar: The Last Airbenderand the founding of Avatar Studios have made theAirbenderfranchise more alive than ever, and that’s something old and new fans alike can appreciate in every regard.
Any sort of continuation would be great to see, but with movies being part of it, that means thatAvatar: The Last Airbender’s brand is seen as big enough to be worth the time and resources necessary to put out multiple movies on the level of the cartoon, which is great to see after seeing it be largely irrelevant for the better part of a decade. There still isn’t anything known about the movies, not evenThe Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender, but with all of them on the horizon, the franchise has never been more exciting.
