Paramount Delays Aang Avatar Film to October 2026, Unveils New Logo

Paramount Pictures has reshuffled its release schedule, pushing back The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem 2, delaying both Nickelodeon films by several months.

Per Variety, the much-awaited Aang-centered Avatar movie, initially set for January 30, 2026, will now debut on October 9, 2026. On a positive note, Paramount revealed a fresh logo for the film, viewable below.

This shift delays The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender’s premiere by almost nine months. It marks the second postponement for this sequel to Nickelodeon’s cherished fantasy series, originally slated for October 10, 2025.

No explanation for the latest delay was provided, but confirmed voice actors Steven Yeun, Dave Bautista, and Eric Nam are still on board.

The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender will center on the original Avatar hero in a tale set years after the series concluded. It earned its official title at CinemaCon last month and is the first of three planned films in this universe.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem sequel, announced just before the 2023 original’s release, also faces a delay.

Fans anticipating the next chapter for Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo now face a longer wait, with the premiere moving from October 9, 2026, to September 17, 2027.

This adds nearly a year to the wait for resolution to the first film’s intriguing mid-credits scene. Plot and cast details remain undisclosed, but the Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series offers fans some interim content.
