While the year of the film’s release has been confirmed, there have been tentative guesses towards a Oct 9, 2026 release date following the confirmed Oct 10, 2025 release date of another Avatar film — this one centred around Team Avatar as adults.

The speculation is that since the studio is planning to release one TV show and one movie a year, it would not be a surprise for them to book the same Friday slot.

Avatar studios, co-producing with Paramount Studios, has not released any information regarding the cast, crew and other film information, such as its timeline or storyline.

What is set in stone, however, is that the three upcoming films of the franchise will not be interconnected and will follow a standalone storyline.

Dante Basco has been booked to voice an adult Zuko in the studio’s 2025 film. Could this be a glimmer of hope to see him reprise his role in the Blue Spirit’s 2026 film?
