Netflix’s upcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender series adds several new actors to its live-action cast. The previous adaptation of the original Avatar: The Last Airbender animated series, a movie helmed by M. Night Shyamalan in 2010, unfortunately left a bitter taste in fans’ mouths.
After their departure, Albert Kim took over as showrunner, promising a project that both old and new fans of the series are sure to love. Kim was a fan of the original cartoon, and after he guaranteed a diverse cast and crew behind the new live-action ATLA, fans regained some optimism for the project. Gordon Cormier plays Aang in the new series, supported in his search for bending masters by Kiawentiio and Ian Ousley as Katara and Sokka, respectively.

As changes are being made to the story for the live-action adaptation, it’s difficult to speculate who these actors will play in Avatar: The Last Airbender. However, several of these actors have previously performed stunt-heavy roles: Chin has various violent and battle-ready characters under his belt, and Cho is already comfortable with sword fighting from her Teen Wolf days. These skills will definitely be an advantage for whoever these actors portray in Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender.
