Paramount Pictures has recently reshuffled its release schedule, leading to delays for two highly anticipated Nickelodeon films: The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem 2. These changes mean that fans will have to wait a bit longer to see these movies hit the big screen.
According to Variety, the eagerly awaited The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender, initially set for a January 30, 2026 release, has been postponed to October 9, 2026. This shift marks a nearly nine-month delay from what fans were originally expecting. To soften the blow, Paramount has unveiled a fresh new logo for the film, which you can view below.
This marks the second delay for this sequel to Nickelodeon's cherished fantasy series, which was initially slated for October 10, 2025. No specific reason for the latest delay has been provided, but confirmed voice cast members Steven Yeun, Dave Bautista, and Eric Nam are still attached to the project.
Set to explore the journey of the original Avatar protagonist years after the series concluded, The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender received its official title at last month's CinemaCon. This film is the first of a planned trilogy set in the same universe.
On another note, the sequel to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, announced just before the first film's 2023 premiere, has also been delayed. Originally scheduled for October 9, 2026, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem 2 will now premiere on September 17, 2027. This delay adds nearly a year to the wait for fans eager to see the continuation of Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo's story and to discover the payoff of the first movie's tantalizing mid-credits scene. While plot and cast details remain undisclosed, fans can tide themselves over with the Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series.
