According to reports, the footage may have come from a hack involving Nickelodeon, with an early copy of the completed film and screenplay allegedly stolen and circulated online.
“Nickelodeon accidentally emailed me the entire Avatar aang movie????they made Toph straight yall,” the user wrote in the since-copyright stricken X post.
“If Paramount doesn’t post a trailer within the next couple days or something I’ll livestream the movie alongside some Peggle Deluxe gameplay,” the leaker then wrote.
Here’s a synopsis, via IGN: “The videos, which have been live for nearly 12 hours and carry more than 100,000 likes between them at the time of this story’s publication, show not only what appear to be crucial plot moments but also lengthy bits featuring new cast members like Dave Bautista and Taika Waititi. Those who seek out the clips may also want to keep in mind that, even if the footage is authentic, it likely comes from a project that Paramount isn’t quite finished working on.”
Avatar: Aang, The Last Airbender is a sequel to the Nickelodeon animated television series Avatar: The Last Airbender, featuring Eric Nam as Aang, which is set to follow the main cast in their young adult years.
The film reportedly is skipping a theatrical run and heading to Paramount+ on October 9.
