Paramount Pictures has announced significant changes to its movie release schedule, impacting the much-anticipated 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 planned to see these films on the big screen.

According to Variety, The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender, which was originally set to premiere on January 30, 2026, has been rescheduled to October 9, 2026. This delay, nearly nine months, marks the second postponement for the film, which was initially slated for October 10, 2025. Despite the delay, Paramount has unveiled an exciting new logo for the movie, which you can view below.

No specific reason was provided for the delay, but the confirmed voice cast, including Steven Yeun, Dave Bautista, and Eric Nam, remains on board. The film, set to explore the journey of the original Avatar protagonist years after the series concluded, was officially titled at last month's CinemaCon. It is the first of three planned movies set in the Avatar universe.

On the other hand, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem 2 has also faced a delay. Initially announced shortly before the release of the first film in 2023, the sequel's premiere has been pushed from October 9, 2026, to September 17, 2027. This adjustment means fans will have to wait almost an additional year to see how the story of Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo unfolds, especially in light of the intriguing mid-credits scene from the first movie. While plot and cast details remain undisclosed, the Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series offers some content to tide fans over until the sequel's release.
