‘Aang: The Last Airbender’ release date, cast, and more

Water. Earth. Fire. Air. Long ago, Nickelodeon fans lived in harmony as they all agreed that Avatar: The Last Airbender was flawless. But everything changed when the Fire Nation M. Night Shyamalan attacked.

Since the release of 2010’s movie, nothing’s ever really been the same as each new entry in the franchise has hit by contention and controversy — some fans still don’t appreciate sequel series The Legend of Korra and Netflix’s reimagining has split people right down the middle. But maybe, when we needed him the most, the Avatar — the master of all four elements — has returned.

Yes, Aang: The Last Airbender is on its way. Still, although its airbending and hype-raising skills are great, we have a lot to learn before it’s ready to save anything. But let’s believe that Aang can save the franchise.

What is the plot of Aang: The Last Airbender?

Although its existence was revealed back in June 2022, it wasn’t until April 11, 2024 that Paramount’s first ATLA animated movie received a proper announcement. The current working title of the project probably told you this already, but it will return the franchise to its factory settings somewhat by continuing the story of everyone’s favorite Avatar Aang.

Yes, get ready to find out exactly what happened to the Airbender following the conclusion of ATLA‘s third and final season, as the film will focus on an adult Aang. This means that it should fit neatly in between the original series and Korra in continuity and do a lot to bridge the gap between the two. Whether it will retcon the comics out of canon, though, is something we’ll have to find out.

Who’s in the cast of Aang: The Last Airbender?

Get ready to meet a new Aang. While Zach Tyler Eisen voiced the hero in ATLA and D.B. Sweeney took over as the old Aang seen in Korra, Aang: The Last Airbender will see a fresh actor assuming the role. And for the first time in animation, Aang will be voiced by someone of Asian descent.

Specifically, K-pop star Eric Nam is playing Aang, in what is his first ever acting role — heck of a way to start, Eric! We have yet to find out the identity of the film’s villain, but we can say that Dave Bautista will be bringing his signature gravelly tones to the mysterious role.

Meanwhile, a whole host of new faces voices are joining Nam to step into the shoes of iconic characters. Although fans may be loyal to the original performers, the movie’s cast seems to have been assembled with a remarkable dedication to proper representation. Indigenous actors Jessica Batten and Roman Zaragoza are on board as Katara and Sokka while Fairly Odd Parents favorite Dionne Quan, who is legally blind, is voicing Toph.

The best news, though? ATLA icon Dante Basco will return as Prince — now Fire Lord — Zuko, making him the only member of the original cast to feature in the movie. Considering Zuko is perhaps the most beloved character in the whole franchise, this should help smooth over any concerns from the fandom.

Behind the scenes, ATLA creators Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko are back to exec produce, with series veteran Lauren Montgomery directing, alongside co-director William Mata.

Although so much about the Aang movie is still unknown, we can say that the intention is for Paramount to make a full ATLA animated film trilogy.

Aang will be the first release to come from Avatar Studios, which DiMartino and Konietzko founded after they split from Netflix over creative differences with the live-action series. So if you enjoyed that show but missed the real authentic feel, tone, and spirit of the original ATLA animation, then don’t worry because a full movie trilogy is coming your way.

Luckily, we don’t have to wait a hundred years for Aang to thaw out of the ice this time around. The Last Airbender will be back — hopefully with Katara, Sokka, Toph, and Zuko in tow, or we will sue — on the back of Appa sooner than you think. Paramount has scheduled Aang: The Last Airbender in for a release date of Oct. 10, 2025.

Aditi Rao Hydari has recently captured the internet’s attention with her mesmerizing ‘gajagamini walk’ from Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Netflix series, Heeramandi. The actor’s graceful performance in the song ‘Saiyaan Hatto Jaao’ has received widespread acclaim, prompting her to express gratitude towards her fans for their love and praise.

How did Aditi Rao Hydari create her viral walk in Heeramandi?

Aditi Rao Hydari recently shared how she feels deeply moved by the positive response to her performance. In a recent interview, she shared her feelings about the unexpected yet heartwarming reaction from the audience. “I am thanking everybody. That walk, just that little tukda from thumri, it is all over the internet. I really didn’t expect that and Sanjay sir did say, ‘Ye chaal bahut important hai (This walk is very important),’” Aditi said. She further reflected on the effort and dedication that went into perfecting the walk, which has now become iconic.

The Heeramandi actor provided a glimpse into the meticulous process behind the creation of the song, highlighting Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s deep involvement in every detail. The dance choreographer was Kruti Mahesh. Despite this, Bhansali engrossed himself in every aspect of the song’s choreography.

“Kruti Mahesh was there choreographing, but he was completely involved in every detail of the choreography. He was very particular about this walk and how it should happen. How will the dupatta fall, how will the waist move. Exactly when the ‘chan’ sound will be heard… it was quite incredible,” Aditi elaborated. This attention to detail is a hallmark of Bhansali’s work, ensuring that every movement, gesture, and nuance contributes to the overall impact of the scene.

For those unaware, Netflix recently released much-awaited, Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar on May 1, 2024. Since then, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s OTT debut has garnered widespread acclaim for its grandeur, stellar performances, and storyline. It is currently available to stream on Netflix.

‘X-Men ’97’ season finale ending and post-credits scene, explained

Warning: This article contains full spoilers for X-Men ’97 episode 10.

There goes, X-Men ’97 season 1 — easily one of the finest stories Marvel Studios has ever told. Rarely has the studio behind the MCU delivered something both so authentic to its source material and celebratory of these characters and the universe they inhabit.

The bad news? This run of 10 terrific episodes, uncanny in how astonishing they were (see what I did there?), has now come to a close. The good news? This definitely isn’t the end of the road as a second season is on the way. As promised by the finale’s open-ended conclusion and, of course, a post-credits scene teasing what’s coming next.

So what happens in the last scenes of X-Men ’97‘s finale and what does it all mean?

Where are the X-Men?

“Tolerance is Extinction, Part 3” picks up right where we left off, with the X-Men trying to stop Magneto and Bastion’s competing plans to end life on Earth.

After the X-Men succeed in destroying Bastion’s Asteroid M, before it collides with the planet, the team are missing and presumed dead in the explosion. Forge searches for months for any trace of them — specifically, Storm — but to no avail. Finally, Bishop visits him and reveals the truth: someone, or something, saved the X-Men by flinging them somewhere (or somewhen) else in time. Bishop recruits Forge to help track the time-displaced X-Men down.

In 3000 BC Egypt, Rogue, Nightcrawler, Beast, Magneto, and Professor X fight off some ancient Egyptian guards and are aided by a mysterious masked figure. Once they fight is over, the gang thank the stranger and ask his name. “My name is En Sabah Nur,” he responds. That’s right, the X-Men have stumbled upon the younger version of their nemesis, Apocalypse!

Meanwhile, Jean Grey and Cyclops have been sent into the far-future, finding themselves in a barren wasteland in the year 3960 AD. They are approached by an elder wise woman who calls herself Mother Askani, leader of the Clan Askani. A boy then emerges from the Clan Askani’s tent and warns the rest that these two newcomers do not mean them harm. The young boy is extremely familiar-looking, what with his distinctive red hair. His name is Nathan — aka a young Cable, Scott and Jean/Madelyne’s son!

Is Apocalypse the big bad of X-Men ’97 season 2?

In true Marvel Studios style, the X-Men ’97 finale then concludes with a post-credits scene. The action returns to the ruins of Genosha in the present-day, where a shadowy figure stalks through the devastation caused by Bastion back in episode 5.

“So much pain, my children,” the figure booms, before retrieving a Queen of Hearts card from the rubble. “So much death…” As a shot of those distinctive blue lips makes clear, this is the grown-up Apocalypse, who seems all set to be the big bad of X-Men ’97 season 2. Even if we didn’t know we were getting one already, the “TO BE CONTINUED…” card at the episode’s end confirms it.

All things considered, it looks like we’re in for a deep-dive into Apocalypse’s character next time around, as the X-Men get to know his origins in the past while he cooks up some evil scheme in the present. The card he finds is clearly Gambit’s, so it’s very likely he’ll resurrect Remy and turn him into one of his Four Horsemen. Gambit alive again? Yay! Gambit turned evil? No way!

With any luck, X-Men ’97 season 2 will release sometime in 2025. For the meantime, all 10 episodes of season 1 can be streamed on Disney Plus.
