Netflix’s TUDUM fan event has unveiled the highly anticipated first images from their upcoming live-action adaptation of “Avatar: The Last Airbender.” This adaptation, set to be released on Netflix in 2024, showcases all of the main characters from the original animated Nickelodeon series that aired from 2005 to 2008.
Based on the series, the live-action show follows Aang, the last of the “Avatars,” a unique warrior who possesses mastery over the elements of air, water, fire, and earth. Portrayed by 13-year-old Gordon Cormier, Aang can be seen in the images donning his distinctive arrow tattoo. Joining him is Katara, the last waterbender, played by 17-year-old Kiawentiio. Known for her pivotal role in the original series, Kiawentiio’s portrayal of Katara in the live-action adaptation remains faithful to the beloved character, highlighting her potential to aid Aang in his quest to restore balance to the world.
The Fire Nation is the primary antagonist seeking to capture Aang and halt his mission. Taking center stage is the exiled prince of the Fire Nation, Zukko, played by Dallas Liu. The image of Zukko captures his recognizable scar over the eye, truly capturing his essence from the original show. Additionally, another image showcases Sokka, Katara’s brother and the leader of their water tribe. Ian Ousley embodies Sokka’s character and will accompany Aang and Katara throughout their journey, playing a crucial role in the series.
The live-action adaptation of “Avatar: The Last Airbender” has long been anticipated, especially after the disappointment of M. Night Shyamalan’s critically panned film adaptation in 2010. Development on the live-action series was put on hold after the film’s release, but Netflix revived the project in 2018, announcing its collaboration with Nickelodeon, the original series creator.
Heading the show as showrunner is Albert Kim. He will also serve as an executive producer alongside Roseanne Liang, Lindsey Liberatore, Michael Goi, and Dan Lin. The partnership between Netflix and Nickelodeon brings together a wealth of talent to deliver this highly awaited adaptation. While an exact release date has not been revealed, the new images give fans a glimpse of what’s to come.
