We live in a world where it’s hard to keep anything under wraps… Especially when merch of all kinds is a must-have for the movies and TV shows of our day. Sometimes, fans really need to work hard and squint to find spoilers. But, sometimes, they are just right there on Target dot com. Oops! But regardless of the source, we have our first look at the adult versions of Aang, Katara, Sokka, Zuko, and Toph, as well as Dave Bautista’s villain from the upcoming new Avatar: The Last Airbender movie, The Legend of Aang. And, let me be the first to say, everyone looks AMAZING!
True-blue Avatar: The Last Airbender fans will know that one piece of adult Gaang official art exists. But that vision of grown up Aang, Katara, Sokka, Zuko, and Toph was only ever used as a marketing image. It never existed in the show.
Still, fans universally agree that it was a pretty great vision of what the adult Gaang should look like. So, it’s with some relief I declare the adult versions of Zuko, Aang, and the rest look EVEN better in The Legend of Aang merchandise. Let’s look at the individual images below. (Target has many shirts.)

First-Look at Adult Aang Shows Him All Grown Up in The Legend of Aang
Compared to the original adult Gaang art, this version of the Gaang retains some of their more familiar characteristics from Avatar: The Last Airbender, and we like it. Aang still has his signature round face in our first-look from The Legend of Aang, but he’s absolutely looking powerful and more mature in this image from the new Avatar movie. We only see air represented here, but undoubtedly, all of his bending has grown much stronger in the time since we last saw him. The shirt is available to buy here.
Aang also appears to have added a sweet touch to his outfit, blue Water Tribe beads that match the ones in Katara’s hair.
First Look at Adult Katara Reveals Her Air-Nation Ties
Meanwhile, adult Katara is all business. She’s still in her traditional waterbender garb, with signature blues and furs, but there’s something new there. Yes, in this first-look image from the new Avatar: The Last Airbender movie, Katara has added a touch of the Air Nomads’ signature energy to her outfit, with an orange sash. Clearly, this represents her continued love for Aang in The Legend of Aang. We know the pair end up together thanks to The Legend of Korra, but we love the subtle touch. The shirt is available to buy here.
First Look at Adult Zuko Promises Flowing Locks in The Legend of Aang
Do not get me started on adult Zuko. Okay, I’ve started. ZUKO LOOKS AMAZING in his The Legend of Aang first look. Given that it takes place several years after the cartoon ended, Zuko will truly BE the king of the Fire Nation in the new Avatar: The Last Airbender movie. So he must really look the part. And he does. We love his royal look, his powerful energy, his crown, and how he appears perfectly wind-swept. This is an iconic glow-up for Zuko. We bet as soon as he opens his mouth, the effect will be ruined, but we’ll enjoy it in t-shirt form for now. The shirt is available to buy here.
First Look at Adult Sokka Gives Us His Signature Club
We bet boomerang is hiding just out of sight. But, for now, Sokka’s weapon of choice appears to be his trust club in the new Avatar: The Last Airbender movie. We hope The Legend of Aang gives Sokka his meteorite sword back as well. He deserves it. But we’ll have to wait and see. Despite not having any bending powers, Sokka looks ready for battle here. And his smirk is very charming. The shirt is available to buy here.
First Look at Adult Toph Is Smashing
Toph is all grown up and ready to smash in our first look at her from The Legend of Aang. We love how her original Avatar: The Last Airbender outfit has translated into this version of her. And, more than ever, she looks like someone you should not mess around with. Those guns have been WELL honed! The shirt is available to buy here.
First-Look at Dave Bautista’s Villain From The Legend of Aang… Also Reveals Air Nation Ties!
Last, but certainly not least, is our first look at Dave Bautista’s villain from The Legend of Aang. Shockingly enough, it looks like he has Air Nomad markings, just like Aang. Could that mean the villain of the new Avatar: The Last Airbender movie is a lost member of Aang’s people? The movie does seem to be about saving the Air Nomads from extinction, after all. It’ll be interesting to learn how Bautista’s baddie plays into it. The shirt is available to buy here.
Appa and Momo Also Return in The Legend of Aang
It couldn’t be an Avatar: The Last Airbender movie without Appa and Momo. We’re thrilled to see them back in action in The Legend of Aang. They haven’t aged a day!
