Eric Nam, Dave Bautista to Voice Star in ‘Aang: The Last Airbender’

Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Studios have announced the voice cast for its upcoming feature Aang: The Last Airbender — the first in a planned trilogy of full-animated films expanding the universe of Avatar: The Last Airbender. Centered on an adult Aang, the pic is due for release on October 10, 2025.

Singer-songwriter-actor Eric Nam has been tapped to voice Aang, opposite Dave Bautista (MCU’s Drax the Destroyer, The Boy and the Heron) as an unnamed villain. The cast also features Dionne Quan (The Fairly OddParents. Rugrats: All Grown Up), Jessica Matten (Frontier, Dark Winds) and Roman Zaragoza (Ghosts, Spirit Rangers). Character and plot details are TBA.

Aang is being directed by original series alum Lauren Montgomery, whose helmer credits include the DC animated universe movies Superman: Doomsday, Wonder Woman, Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths and Batman: Year One, with William Mata co-directing. Avatar: The Last Airbender creators Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko are executive producing.

The news came out of Paramount Pictures’ jam-packed CinemaCon presentation Thursday. In addition to announcing more of the Smurfs musical cast, previewing Transformers One, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and announcing a new live-action TMNT movie, Paramount also confirmed that the original SpongeBob SquarePants cast — Tom Kenny (SpongeBob SquarePants), Clancy Brown (Mr. Krabs), Rodger Bumpass (Squidward), Bill Fagerbakke (Patrick), Carolyn Lawrence (Sandy) and Mr. Lawrence (Plankton) — will star in The SpongeBob Movie: Search for Squarepants. The new big screen Bikini Bottom adventure is slated for December 19, 2025.
