Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fans will have to wait a bit longer for party time to begin.
Paramount Pictures announced several changes to its release calendar on Friday, with the animated sequel Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem 2 now set for wide theatrical release Sept. 17, 2027, after having previously been slated for Oct. 9, 2026.
Director Jeff Rowe is helming the follow-up to his original film that hit theaters in August 2023 and collected $180 million worldwide. The star-studded voice cast for the first Mutant Mayhem included Ayo Edebiri, Maya Rudolph, John Cena, Seth Rogen, Rose Byrne, Jackie Chan, Ice Cube and Paul Rudd. The franchise launched with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic book that debuted in 1984.
In a twinned move, The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender is now set for wide theatrical release Oct. 9, 2026, after having previously been scheduled for Jan. 30, 2026. Dave Bautista, Eric Nam, Dionne Quan, Jessica Matten, Román Zaragoza and Steven Yeun voice characters in director Lauren Montgomery’s feature that continues the story of the Nickelodeon series Avatar: The Last Airbender.
The shifts for Mutant Mayhem 2 and The Legend of Aang stem from delays in animation physical production.
Paramount is also moving up the release of Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie by a week, with the latest title in the animation franchise set to bound into theaters July 24, 2026. The voice cast for director Cal Brunker’s film includes Mckenna Grace, Ron Pardo, Jennifer Hudson, Fortune Feimster, Jameela Jamil, Terry Crews, Snoop Dogg, Bill Nye and Paris Hilton.
The Dino Movie is the latest film in the franchise that launched with the television series Paw Patrol and follows the 2023 movie Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie.
