The entire film was later leaked in full – garnering so many views that it began to show up on Letterboxd’s ‘most popular’ list.

According to The Strait Times, Singapore police received a report on April 16 that parts of an unreleased film had been uploaded to the Internet.
The man was identified and arrested within a day of the report, while various electronic devices belonging to him were also seized.
Police said that preliminary investigations had revealed that the man gained unauthorised access to the studio’s server, from which he downloaded the film.
If found guilty of gaining unauthorised access to computer material, he now faces a maximum jail term of seven years, and a fine not exceeding $50,000 – potentially even both.

Originally set for theatrical release on October 9, the film was hit with backlash after the studio decided to release the film exclusively on Paramount+ instead.
It had also received criticism from fans for replacing its voice cast – with alexisplaysvg asking on X: ‘Wasn’t there anyone who stood up and said replacing the original cast was a terrible idea?’
Reiterating that they’d see the film nothing less than theatrically, TheManInYourPC1 branded it ‘plain wrong’ that it should have been hidden behind a subscription service in the first place.
However, many were sympathetic to the animators’ plight, with MrJulianR1 noting that the creators ‘deserve a lot of appreciation’ for their effort.

Following the leak, Variety recorded a spokesperson as saying: ‘It was heartbreaking to see footage from ‘The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender’ leak online. This leak did not originate from Flying Bark.
‘Our studio proudly partnered on the production until the very end and we acknowledge the filmmakers, cast, artists and animators who worked tirelessly to produce this incredibly crafted film.’
In a post to X, animator Julia Schoel said: ‘We worked on the Aang movie for years with the expectation that we’d get to celebrate all of our hard work in theaters… just to see people unceremoniously leak the film and pass our shots around on Twitter like candy.’
Another artist who worked on the film, Tom Barkel, admitted that he ‘understood’ fans who engage with leaks, but shared his frustration at both Paramount and the leakers for their treatment of the film.
He continued: ‘It could have been a moment for all fans, but the rug was pulled and now there is division on whether to watch or wait. To those who say: “who cares, the artists were paid,” The ugly truth is that by not supporting the official release you bite the hand that feeds someone else.’

Prior to the whole film being uploaded, the initially leaked material is said to have included older versions of the cast, including Aang, Katara, Sokka, Toph, and Zuko.
First announced in 2024, The Legend of Aang was expected to be the start of a new trilogy of animated films within the Avatar universe.
The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender is set for release on Paramount+ on October 9, 2026.

The United captain has enjoyed an exceptional season at Old Trafford, in the running for the Player of the Season award and just three assists away from setting a new Premier League assist record.
But the 31-year-old was on the brink of leaving the club at the end of last season when Saudi side Al-Hilal were prepared to pay £100million and triple his salary to prise him away from Manchester.
Fernandes has been United’s best piece of business of the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era but has won just two trophies during his time at the club, the Carabao Cup and FA Cup.
As he mulled over his future last year, it was his wife Ana questioning whether he had achieved all he wanted at the club that helped decide things.
‘I stayed because I thought I still had something that I can give back to the club,’ Fernandes told United legend Wayne Rooney in an interview for BBC Sport.
‘Obviously the Saudi situation, with the money… there was a lot. The good thing I have in my family is that my wife is pretty down to earth like me.
‘We’re very aware that we don’t want to be the richest person in the world. We just want to be the ones that have achieved the dreams they had and live a good life with their kids and trying to be as successful as possible.
‘The words of my wife were like, “have you achieved your dreams? Have you achieved everything you wanted?”
Fernandes has been in wonderful form this season (Picture: Getty)
‘And that small thing she said made me understand that she’s on the same page as me. Let’s keep trying and see where this takes me.’
United are on course to finish third and return to the Champions League next season. Fernandes’ future remains uncertain ahead of a pivotal summer transfer window with just one year left on his current contract – a deal that includes an option of a further 12 months.
Fernandes believes there is still time to challenge for those major honours.
‘I want to win the Premier League,’ he said. ‘I want to win the Champions League. I never hide from that.’
Calum McFarlane has stepped up from the Under-21 side to serve as interim boss until the end of the season with a permanent replacement to arrive this summer.
Andoni Iraola, who will leave Bournemouth at the end of the season, is among those under consideration along with Fulham’s Marco Silva.
Former Chelsea left-back Filipe Luis, excelling in Brazil with Flamengo, is also an option. But another former Blues star in Fabregas is also among the favourites.
Como are on course to qualify for Europe in what is just their second season in the Italian top flight with the former Spain international appearing to commit his future to the project.
Club president Mirwan Suwarso told City AM on Friday he would not stand in Fabregas’ way if he wants to take the reins at Stamford Bridge.
The Spaniard was linked with the Inter job
‘You want your employees to stay with you for as long as possible but at the end of the day we don’t own him and he’s free to go to Chelsea if he wishes,’ Suwarso said.
Quizzed on those comments, Fabregas said: ‘I don’t have to say anything, because I haven’t heard anything from the president.
‘You say that, I know nothing about it. It would be stupid to think about things that aren’t important now, because this isn’t important to me: the most important thing is Genoa, the next match, and we want to do everything to win.
Expert analysis: 'A modern and exciting style'

In Italy, most people and most pundits like his playing style. It’s a modern playing style, it’s an exciting play style, which has the features that you expect from a young, emerging manager and a young, emerging team.
A lot of courage, playing with a high line, trying to keep the ball as much as possible and really trying to have a strong identity, a strong attacking identity against any opponent.
It’s like a Spanish team playing in Serie A. He has a clear philosophy in mind.
Lorenzo Bettoni, Italian football journalist and editor of Football Italia
‘I think I’ll continue as Como’s coach: my experience as a player gives me peace of mind.’
Fabregas won two Premier League titles with Chelsea, before leaving for Monaco in 2019. In 2022 he joined Como, ending his playing career at the club before immediately beginning his coaching career.
After initially working with the youth and B-team, he was promoted to first-team assistant, helping Como secure promotion back to Serie A.
In 2024, Fabregas took over as head coach, guiding the Italian club to a tenth-place finish in their first season back in the top-flight.
Como continued their progression this season and currently sit fifth and in contention for European qualification with just five games of the season remaining.
Alex Scott will present the final Football Focus show at the end of the season (BBC)
The BBC has scrapped Football Focus after 52 years on television.
The Saturday lunchtime show, first broadcast in 1974 with Bob Wilson as host, provides interviews, analysis and stories ahead of the weekend’s football fixtures.
The show is currently hosted by former Arsenal and England defender Alex Scott, who took over from Dan Walker in 2021.
However, the BBC has pointed out that television viewing figures have gradually declined since 2018, with audiences turning more to digital platforms to get their pre-match content.
The show has suffered a drastic drop in viewing figures in recent years, falling from 957,000 in 2019-20 to 687,000 three years later. Last season had a minor upturn with 739,000.

The BBC said in a statement that ‘changing audience behaviours mean fans are now increasingly consuming football content in different ways and we need to respond appropriately as we face difficult decisions around how the licence fee is spent’.
Alex Kay-Jelski, director of BBC Sport, said: ‘Football Focus has been a hugely important programme in the history of BBC Sport and has played a key role in telling the stories of the game for generations of viewers.

‘This decision was made before last week’s wider BBC savings announcement, reflecting the continued shift in how audiences engage with football and our commitment to evolving how we deliver content to reach fans wherever they are.’
The 12.45pm slot on BBC1 on Saturday will be taken next season by The Football Interview show, where presenter Kelly Somers will talk to top names within football.
Epsom’s MP helped clean up after the home was targeted (Picture: Helen Maguire for Epsom & Ewell)
After protesters in Epsom targeted the wrong hotel and threw beer and eggs at police, they vandalised a home for vulnerable young adults.
This week, dozens of people marched through Epsom despite police insisting they had found no evidence of a gang rape offence or that asylum seekers were involved.
Protesters, some riding motorbikes, shut down Epsom town centre in Surrey on Monday night.
Helen Maguire, the Liberal Democrat MP for Epsom & Ewell, slammed the actions which she said terrorised residents.

‘This week, a mob vandalised a supported living home for vulnerable adults, terrifying the residents within,’ she wrote.
‘The following morning, I joined local volunteers to clear up the mess and show what this community is really made of.’
Police called the actions of protesters abusing officers ‘shameful’ (Picture: PA)
Clashes that saw eggs and beer cans thrown at police during a protest over a disputed rape investigation have been condemned as ‘shameful’ by local authorities.
Surrey police and crime commissioner Lisa Townsend said some of those involved in the unrest in Epsom on Monday had travelled from elsewhere to cause trouble, and warned them to stay away.
‘The mindless scenes we witnessed last night, where our police officers were targeted with missiles, were nothing short of shameful,’ she said.
‘I am a firm believer in people’s right to lawful protest, but sadly, some of those present in Epsom yesterday stepped way beyond that line, and the type of behaviour we witnessed will not be tolerated.’
Four people were arrested after the items were thrown at police in riot gear on Monday evening, and one man appeared to try to climb on top of a police van.

It was the second protest in the town after a woman reported being raped near a church in the early hours of Saturday, April 11, after leaving Labyrinth Epsom nightclub.
There was some public anger that the force had not released the ethnicity of any suspects, but Surrey Police said this was because ‘the information about the incident and potential suspects is so limited’.
The force has repeatedly said there is no evidence to suggest immigrants or asylum seekers were involved in the attack.
Ms Townsend added: ‘I have been kept updated by senior officers and I know how painstaking and extensive the inquiries have been over the last week to establish the full facts of what happened in this case.
‘I fully appreciate in circumstances like this that the local community are keen to have as much information as possible, particularly when the report made is of such a concerning nature.
‘Surrey Police has said there is no evidence this case involves asylum seekers or immigrants. But clearly, this does not suit the narrative some want to push, and we are still seeing misinformation being spread online.’
Donald Trump announced the news on social media (Picture: AFP)
Donald Trump says eight female Iranian prisoners have been spared from death after he pleaded for their release ahead of ceasefire talks.
The US President announced on Truth Social: ‘Very good news! I have just been informed that the eight women protestors who were going to be executed tonight in Iran will no longer be killed.
‘Four will be released immediately, and four will be sentenced to one month in prison. I very much appreciate that Iran, and its leaders, respected my request, as President of the United States, and terminated the planned execution.’
The eight women, who were featured in a photo he shared on Truth Social yesterday, had been sentenced to death for protesting against the regime earlier this year.
The announcement of their apparent releases and cancellation of their executions comes as ceasefire talks between Iran and the US continue.

Earlier today, Iran fired on three ships in the Strait of Hormuz, underscoring the ongoing threat to global energy supplies and complicating efforts to bring the US and Iran together for talks to end the war.
The attacks, which Iranian media said were carried out by Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard, came after Trump said the US would indefinitely extend the ceasefire with Iran, due to expire on Wednesday.
But Trump said the US would continue to blockade Iranian ports, and the attacks reinforced the dangers to traffic in the strait, through which 20% of the world’s oil and natural gas pass in peacetime.
That means that even if the ceasefire largely holds – and Iran and the US do not resume major attacks – the war will continue to weigh heavily on the global economy.

The longer the Strait remains closed, the more severe and widespread the effects will be – and the longer it will take the economy to bounce back.
Iran has offered no formal acknowledgement of Trump’s extension, but an Iranian diplomat said talks would not resume until the blockade is lifted.
Iran opened fire on a container ship in the strait on Wednesday morning, and a second was attacked a short time later, according to the British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations Centre.
Iranian state television later reported that the ships were in the Revolutionary Guard’s custody and being taken to Iran.
She’s now reflected on her first marriage again, explaining how she regrets walking down the aisle as ‘for quite a lot of the time’ she ‘didn’t like’ her husband.
‘I didn’t want to be married to him anymore anyway, and I don’t even know why we got married,’ she said in a new interview.

Speaking on the Suddenly Singlepodcast, Carol revealed that marrying Chris was a ‘big mistake’ and that ‘for quite a lot of the time,’ she ‘didn’t like’ her husband.
Although Carol and Chris split after two years of marriage, it was another five before their divorce was finalised.
In 2019 Carol said during a discussion on Loose Women that she was ‘swept along’ during her romance with Chris and ‘convinced myself I couldn’t live without him’.
She then took aim, declaring: ‘He was very manipulative. Anyone who thinks I married him for his money, that’s nonsense because I had more money than him at the time.

‘He was nothing without me, nothing. I’m glad it all went a bit wrong. I persevered with it and I was determined to make it work.’
Nearly a decade earlier she wrote in her memoir, Oh, Carol!, that while she didn’t regret their marriage, it turned her into a ‘crazy, dependent, idiotic human being bearing absolutely no resemblance to the person that I was when I met him’.
‘Chris was like a Class A drug, and I was well and truly addicted,’ she continued.
However, she revealed they ‘argued all the time’ about things she declared were ‘pathetic’.
At the same time, she accused him of ‘trying to make her jealous’ by ‘staying out late, flirting with other girls and hanging out with ex-girlfriends’.

Although the pair had broken up and got back together several times, in 1991 Carol said had every intention of ending it for good – but ended up engaged, a decision she said was against her ‘better judgment’.
Two years later – after a series of explosive outbursts including one in which Carol claim Chris hurled her full-length-mirror over the balcony of their mezzanine – he announced the end of their marriage on his radio show.
‘I felt like I’d been hit by a truck. He’d just announced on air that our marriage was over without even having the decency to talk to me first,’ she wrote in 2010.
Although they eventually tried to give things another go, their relationship ended for good in 1993.
In her memoir Carol said Chris had been ‘exhausting to be around’, revealing they were no longer friends and that the memories she was left with of him were ‘not very nice’.
Carol went on to marry current husband Mark Cassidy in 2018.

Meanwhile Chris caused controversy in 2001 when he married teenage pop star Billie Piper, who was 17 years his junior.
They eventually separated three years later and he’s since gone on to marry golfer Natasha Shishmanian. The couple wed in 2007 and have four children – Noah, 17, Eli, 13, and twins Walt and Boo, seven.
Carol was previously a panellist on Loose Women from 2000 until 2013, and again from 2018 until 2023. She also competed on Celebrity Big Brother in 2013.
In 2005 Chris joined BBC Radio 2, where he presented several shows until 2018, when he then moved to Virgin Radio UK. He also previously hosted Top Gear for a year.
Metro has contacted representatives for Chris Evans for comment.

Since arriving at City back in 2017, Silva has racked up 76 goals and 77 assists in 452 appearances under Pep Guardiola, proving an invaluable member of the dressing room while helping the club win 18 pieces of silverware.
But while Silva is arguably playing the best football of his City career, his mind his made up and he will depart Manchester on a free transfer when his contract expires in June.
According to ESPN’s Bruno Andrade, Silva’s impending departure is ‘already causing a stir in the European transfer market’ and both Barcelona and Arsenal have emerged as potential destinations for the soon-to-be free agent.

It’s claimed the Gunners are closely ‘monitoring’ Silva’s movements as they look to strengthen their midfield options and add greater experience to their squad for next season.
Mikel Arteta, of course, worked with Silva during his time as Guardiola’s assistant at City and would be keen to explore a proposed deal having previously coaxed Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko to north London.
However, Arsenal’s chances of striking an agreement for Silva are seen as ‘remote’ given their intense rivalry with City.

Barca, meanwhile, are said to ‘stand out as an option more aligned’ to Silva, able to offer the Lisbon-born midfielder an opportunity to stay at the top without upsetting his current employers.
Silva believes he ‘still has a place at a high level’, determined to further challenge himself and remain with a ‘competitive’ team in Europe.
The report stresses that Silva has no immediate plans to move to the Saudi Pro League, despite the incredible riches on offer should he follow in the footsteps of fellow countrymen Cristiano Ronaldo, Joao Felix and Ruben Neves.
The same can be said for Benfica, the club where he made his first steps in professional football. However, the idea of winding up his illustrious career in Lisbon ‘remains a personal desire’ and a strong possibility for the future.
Announcing the news of his impending City exit on Instagram last week, Silva wrote: ‘When I arrived nine years ago, I was following a dream of a little boy, wanting to succeed in life, wanting to achieve great things.
‘This city and this club gave me much more than that, much more than I ever hoped for. What we won and achieved together is a legacy that will forever be cherished in my heart. The Centurions, the domestic quadruple, the Treble, the Four In A Row and much more… It wasn’t that bad.
‘In a few months it’s time to say goodbye to the city where not only we won so much as a football club, but also where I started my marriage and my family. From the bottom of my heart, Ines and Carlota, thank you!
‘To the fans, your unconditional support throughout the years is something that I will never forget. My main goal as a player was to always play with passion so you guys could feel proud and well represented on the pitch. I hope you felt that every single game.’
He went on: ‘I arrived as a Man City player, I leave as one more of you, a Man City supporter for life. Keep supporting this young team and I’m pretty sure they will bring you a lot of new fantastic memories in the future.
‘To the club, Pep, the staff and all my teammates these nine years, thank you for all the memories and for letting me be a part of this journey for so long.
‘The atmosphere we created every day in the training ground made me feel at home and a part of a big family.
‘Let’s enjoy together these last weeks and fight for what this season still brings us. Love you all, Bernardo.’
The hotel in Padstow launched the scheme as fuel prices rise around the world (Picture: Google)
The owner of a Cornish hotel has promised to pay for guests’ petrol bills to offset the cost burden.
Hugh Ridgway, co-founder of St Moritz Hotel & Cowshed Spa in Padstow, launched the scheme in response to the rising fuel costs.
This is largely down to the closing of the Strait of Hormuz, where approximately 25% of the world’s oil travels through, by Iran in response to the ongoing war with the US and Israel.
As well as an increased living wage, rising business rates, and VAT, which have all contributed to the cost-of-living rise.
Further warnings were given by the head of the International Energy Agency (IEA), who said Europe has ‘maybe six weeks’ of jet fuel left.

The hotel states on its website: ‘Fuel prices have jumped around 15% across the UK, and because getting to Cornwall isn’t exactly a quick hop on the Tube, we’re stepping in.
‘Whatever’s happening in the world – airlines, politics, Trump being Trump – we’re just here to cover your fuel surcharge!’
Holidaymakers will need to book a stay before April 30 and arrive before July 1 to take advantage of the scheme.
The discount that guests can claim will vary depending on how far their home postcode is from the Cornish hotel.
The hotel will then ‘knock off the amount it costs to cover the extra 15% fuel price rise for a return trip’.
The 15% surcharge discount is based on today’s average UK mpg and fuel prices, the hotel says.
Holidaymakers based in the south west and Wales will receive £15 off their bill, the South and Midlands will receive a £20 discount, whilst beachgoers making the trip down from the North and Scotland will receive £30 off.
A list of postcodes is available on the hotel’s website.
Just days ago, however, Trump once again lashed out at Nato allies after the Strait of Hormuz reopened.
The US president said NATO countries can ‘stay away’ from the Middle East ‘unless they just want to load up their ships with oil’.
Nato countries had refused Trump’s repeated calls to help him force open the shipping route, which Iran effectively shut down following the US and Israeli attack.
The Strait of Hormuz is a small strip of water connecting the Persian Gulf to the world’s oceans.
The vital oil and gas shipping route has been effectively closed since the US-Israeli bombing campaign began at the end of February, forcing up energy and fuel prices around the world.
