The character is described as being a fearless and fun-loving twelve-year-old who just happens to be the Avatar, master of all four elements, and the keeper of balance and peace in the world. 14-year-old Katara is described as being a determined and hopeful waterbender, the last in her small village where she and her brother Sokka grew up.

The rising star has a handful of acting credits to his name, though his most notable role is probably that of Robby Corman in Netflix’s 13 Reasons Why, even though he only appeared in three episodes of the teen drama. As a skilled firebender and the intense and guarded Crown Prince of the Fire Nation, Liu will no doubt be showing off his martial arts skills in Netflix’s upcoming series where he is said to be on an obsessive quest to capture the Avatar because he believes that is the only way to reclaim his life and live up to the demands of his cruel and controlling father, the Fire Lord. Netflix revealed Kim is joining the series as a regular and said his character, Ozai, the ruler of the Fire Nation, demands everyone live up to his impossible standards, especially his teenaged son, Prince Zuko.

Iroh played an important role in the original series and fast became one of the show’s most beloved characters. Some of his notable roles include starring as Miles Straume in Lost, Detective Steven Sing in Saw, and Admiral Statura in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. A relentless perfectionist, she is the daughter of Fire Lord Ozai and one of the key adversaries of Aang and his friends.

She’s dedicated to protecting her community and upholding the ideals of Avatar Kyoshi, the legendary warrior from which the warriors take their name. Tamlyn Tomita as Yukari Yukari is both Suki’s mother and the fiercely protective mayor of a small village on Kyoshi Island. She’ll be portrayed by Casey Camp-Horinek, who won the award for Best Actress at the American Indian Film Festival for her role in Barking Water.

What Is The Name Of The Coming-Of-Age Story That Follows Aang?

Avatar: The Last Airbender is a coming-of-age story that follows Aang, a 12-year-old boy who is the key to saving the world. Along the way, Aang meets his friends Katara, Sokka, and others as they liberate the Water Tribe and Earth Kingdoms from the reign of the Fire Nation. The Netflix adaptation has been in development since 2018, and now, three years later, things are ramping up.

COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY The Story In the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender, people are born into one of four nations: the Water Tribe, Earth Kingdoms, Air Nomads, and the Fire Nation. Only the Avatar can master all four elements because he serves as the bridge between the humans and the spirit world. After the Fire Nation goes to war with the rest of the world, Aang, the current Avatar, must journey across the globe in an effort to master all four elements before it’s too late.

However, we do know that production starts in November 2021, so we’ll likely see the series hit Netflix in late 2022 or sometime in 2023. Are the Original Creators Involved? When the series was first announced in 2018, Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko the creators behind Avatar: The Last Airbender were the producers and showrunners on the Netflix adaptation.

During the announcement, Melissa Cobb, vice president of Kids Entertainment at Netflix said: “We are committed to honoring Bryan and Mike’s vision for this retelling and are thrilled to support them on creating a live-action event series, bringing Aang’s epic world of elemental magic to life for global audiences on Netflix.” Things don’t always go as planned and in 2020, Mike and Bryan left the project, leaving the series in limbo until Netflix found a new showrunner. To be clear, this was not a simple matter of us not getting our way.

Katara is not going to get curtain bangs.” The new team behind the project isn’t just going to copy and paste the animated series to live-action, but instead, expand on everything the original series built up. To the characters.

Cormier is going to have to channel both the child-like nature as well as the incredible spirit and heart of Aang. We also have Dallas Liu (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings) rounding out our cast as Prince Zuko of the Fire Nation.
