Avatar: The Last Airbender’s next movie will be titled The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender. It makes sense that the franchise might want to avoid the “Avatar” title for the silver screen, considering the James Cameron series of films focusing on the N’avi is moving forward with multiple sequels. Luckily, this doesn’t mean that the franchise is ditching “Avatar” completely as the upcoming animated series, Avatar: Seven Havens, will still have the name in tow. Set to release on January 30th, 2026, the movie is sure to have some major surprises as it will look at a drastically new time for Aang and his friends’ lives.
