With the return of Team Avatar—Aang, Katara, Sokka, Toph, and Zuko—viewers will get an intimate look at their growth and the challenges they face as they step into new roles.

The movie boasts an impressive lineup of creators and talent behind the scenes. The project is helmed by directors Lauren Montgomery and William Mata, both of whom bring vast experience in animation and storytelling.

Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, the original creators of Avatar: The Last Airbender, are involved in writing alongside Kenneth Lin, ensuring that the film remains faithful to the franchise’s rich lore and character development.
