Anticipation surrounding the new live-action series of Avatar: The Last Airbender has been mounting steadily, especially following the release of the earlier trailer and, more importantly, the success of One Piece on Netflix, which is confirmed for one more season. Aware of this fervor, Netflix stoked the flames of this excitement, releasing a series of images that give fans a long-awaited glimpse into the Fire Nation's cast, and the enigmatic Fire Lord Ozai, embodied by the versatile Daniel Dae Kim.
Avatar: The Last Airbender, the wildly popular animated series from Nickelodeon, aired between 2005 to 2008. From the time it premiered and up until now, the series has captured hearts worldwide with its intricate storyline and memorable characters as well as the beautiful world-building surrounding the four elemental nations. In this saga, the Avatar, who's a unique being with the ability to bend all four elements - earth, air, water, and fire - serves as the beacon of peace and balance. However, a surge of conflict ignites as the Fire Nation, under the leadership of Fire Lord Ozai, embarks on a quest for dominance. With the current Avatar yet to emerge, the world teeters on the brink of chaos, yearning for a savior.
In the heart of this chaos stands Aang, portrayed by Gordon Cormier, the last Air Nomad and the newest incarnation of the Avatar. A beacon of hope in dark times, Aang is joined by allies Sokka (Ian Ousley) and Katara (Kiawentiio) in a quest to thwart the ambitions of the Fire Nation and restore balance.
