Paramount Pictures has recently adjusted its release schedule, causing delays for two eagerly awaited Nickelodeon films: The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem 2. These shifts mean fans will have to wait longer than initially anticipated to see these movies hit the screens.
According to Variety, The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender has been pushed back from its original premiere date of January 30, 2026, to October 9, 2026. This marks a significant delay of nearly nine months. On a more positive note, Paramount unveiled a new logo for the film, which can be viewed below.
This is the second delay for the movie, which was initially set to release on October 10, 2025. No specific reason for the latest postponement has been disclosed, but it's confirmed that the voice cast, including Steven Yeun, Dave Bautista, and Eric Nam, will remain involved.
The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender will explore the journey of the original Avatar protagonist in a narrative set years after the conclusion of the beloved series. The film received its official title at last month's CinemaCon and is the first installment in a planned trilogy set within the same universe.
Similarly, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem 2 has also been delayed. Originally slated for October 9, 2026, the sequel will now premiere on September 17, 2027, extending the wait by almost a year. This delay adds to the anticipation surrounding the follow-up to the mid-credits scene from the first film. While plot and casting details remain undisclosed, fans can tide themselves over with the Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series in the meantime.
