For fans of the Avatar franchise<\/a>, this is an exciting time, with Nickelodeon’s new animated series Avatar: Seven Havens<\/a> on the horizon, as well as Netflix’s live-action series, which has been renewed for a second and third season<\/a>. The third component of the current Avatar media lineup is a trilogy of animated feature films from Nick, with the latest news being the addition of Steven Yeun (Invincible, Mickey 17)<\/em> to the voice cast.<\/p>\n

Although Steven Yeun has previously voiced Avatar Wan, the first Avatar<\/a>, in The Legend of Korra<\/em>, it’s unclear at this point which character he will play in the new film. According to Variety<\/a>, which broke the news, “it’s not yet clear which of the Four Nations Yeun may hail from, as character details are being kept under wraps.”<\/p>\n

The movie, directed by Lauren Montgomery and co-directed by William Mata, is based on the series Avatar: The Last Airbender<\/em>, created by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko. It will focus on the character of Aang, suggesting that it will take place between The Last Airbender<\/em> and Korra<\/em>.<\/p>\n

While Yeun’s character is still unknown, it was announced last year<\/a> that Dave Bautista will voice a villain, and the main cast includes Eric Nam as Aang, Dionne Quan as Toph, Jessica Matten as Katara, and Rom\u00e1n Zaragoza as Sokka.<\/p>\n

The movie, which is currently untitled, was initially scheduled for release this year but will now hit theaters on January 30, 2026.<\/p>\n
