Avatar Aang release date has been set for July 25, with Paramount announcing that the animated film will premiere globally on Paramount+.
Paramount had earlier planned to release Avatar: The Last Airbender in theatres on October 9 before moving the film to a direct-to-streaming release.
The studio shifted the project to streaming in December 2025. The full film leaked online in April, which likely pushed Paramount to speed up the release.
Paramount also released the first trailer and first-look images ahead of the film’s expected appearance at San Diego Comic-Con.
