Possible Sequels
While there has been much speculation regarding sequels, no official announcement by Shyamalan or Paramount Studios and Nickelodeon has been made regarding the "go-ahead" or whether the plug will be pulled on the trilogy. While filming The Last Airbender, Shyamalan mapped out a rough draft for a second film that is "darker" and includes Azula, portrayed by Summer Bishil, as the main antagonist. In a July 2010 interview with New York Magazine, Shyamalan commented "In the next few months we'll be able to know whether we have that opportunity or not" when asked about the sequel. No such announcement was made and in a September 2010 interview when asked if he knew when the sequel will be made, he replied, "I don't, because there are so many factors they take into account", adding, "I guess it will get into an area where it becomes a discussion—like pros and cons."
On September 19, 2012, M. Night Shyamalan used Twitter to reintroduce the possibility of The Last Airbender 2 hitting the big screen. When asked what his next theatrical project would be, Shyamalan said, "Deciding between 3. One I've already written and 2 that are just in outline form. They are all fighting in my heart right now." Fans quickly used this tweet as evidence to suggest that one of the three movies Shyamalan is contemplating is The Last Airbender 2 since the script for the movie was confirmed to be complete. There is currently no word on the film's status.
