Aang: The Last Airbender, the Avatar film currently in the works at Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Studios, has found its leads, Variety reports.
Dave Bautista and singer/songwriter Eric Nam are set to headline the animated movie slated for theatrical release on Oct. 10, 2025. Bautista will voice a villainous character while Nam will portray Aang, TVLine has confirmed.
Dionne Quan (The Fairly OddParents, All Grown Up!), Jessica Matten (Dark Winds, Frontier) and Román Zaragoza (Ghosts) round out the ensemble.
Aang is the first in a trio of standalone Avatar movies first announced in 2022. Lauren Montgomery (Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Legend of Korra) will co-direct with William Mata (The Sea Beast, Rise of the Guardians), while original series creators Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko executive-produce with Eric Coleman (Avatar: The Last Airbender, SpongeBob SquarePants).
Ready for some more recent newsy nuggets? Well…
* Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, is launching two new unscripted shows for Netflix as part of her and Prince Harry’s overall deal with the streamer, per Variety.

Interesting, Meghan Markle (we want our privacy but have to keep using my title) is doing a show which is also about friendship. This person who has dumped or ghosted all her friends and family, except her mother, unless they can help her. smh This will be a failure just like everything else. Just as long as you keep them because I know the UK doesn’t want them back and neither do we in Canada.
She is living rent free in your pathetic life. Live and let live.
I posted a very commonly held opinion held on past and present events related to an article. No need to attack me personally unless you’re simply a troll.
It’s all a commonly held opinion that Markle was treated horribly and cut out the people who showed her not to be true friends. Markle was attacked from the very second she started dating Harry by both the family and especially the media. Anyone who has a brain or doesn’t blindly follow the Royal family can see that. I don’t blame her one bit from not wanting to have those type of people in her life.
You get mad bc they didn’t agree with your comment and feel attacked but it’s ok for you to attack Meghan & Harry and say you don’t even want them in your country? Who are you to speak for a whole country? How entitled are you? It’s obviously split in who agrees with Meghan & Harry and who doesn’t. I think more people prob lean towards taking their side unless you live in the UK and blindly follow the Royal Family. There’s a reason Netflix wants to do multiple shows with Meghan and it’s not bc people don’t like her. It’s bc most do and will watch. I still can’t believe you attack someone and then call someone out for doing it to you. Take your hatred and hypocrisy somewhere else.
I adore Meghan and Harry whereas your revered Royal Family can kiss my grits. Where is Prince of Perversion Andrew these days?
Do we need “the curtain pulled back on the sport of Polo”? Do people really care? Will Meghan and Harry make us care Ala Ryan Reynolds and Wrexham? I am skeptical.
Lots of rich, good looking people, and horses. People will watch.
“a polo series primarily shot at the U.S. Open Polo Championship in Wellington, Fla which pulls the curtain back on the professional sport.”
Just wait until everyone finds out how many teams are made up of clones of the same horses. o.O
If that’s true I doubt the curtain will be pulled back that far… LOL
i hope the avatar movies fill in the time after the show ended. hope it’s not another retelling of the same stories in the animated and live action.
