Aang: The Last Airbender is set to release in theatres on January 20, 2026 

Previously, the film was firmly set on a October 10, 2025. However, the film was hit with a recent delay, in turn potentially causing the future Avatar projects to also be pushed back. However, this has not been confirmed yet.

Given that this new animated feature will include a much older version of the cast, it’s no surprise that many of the characters have been recast. Therefore, the new cast for Aang: The Last Airbender includes the following actors.

  • Eric Nam: Avatar Aang
  • Dionne Quan: Toph
  • Jessica Matten: Katara
  • Román Zaragoza: Sokka
  • Dave Bautista: TBD

And while the voice actor for Zuko was not announced, there is a high chance Dante Basco will once again be back to voice the Crown Prince of the Fire Nation.

After all, he has been confirmed to return to the role of the upcoming standalone Zuko animated film.

Plot details for Aang: The Last Airbender

The original Avatar: The Last Airbender series took place during the teenage years of the main characters. For this new animated feature, Aang, Katara, Sokka, and Toph will all be adults. 

While the adult versions of these characters have appeared briefly throughout The Legend of Korra, this is the first time they will be given a whole feature to themselves.
