Gordon Cormier as Avatar Aang: A free-spirited and peaceful twelve-year-old airbender who was frozen in ice for a hundred years.With his new companions Katara and Sokka, Aang sets out to master the four classical elements while pursued by the exiled Fire Nation crown prince Zuko, who seeks to regain his honor by capturing him. The Avatar maintains the balance of the world and nature to bring peace, and Aang is now faced with the responsibility of ending the ambitions of the militaristic Fire Nation to conquer the world. Aang, the 'Avatar' and the last living Airbender, is the 'bridge' between the mortal and spirit world, and the only one capable of bending all four of the elements. The series is set in an Asiatic, war-torn world where certain people can 'bend' one of the four classical elements-water, earth, fire, or air. The series is scheduled for a 2024 premiere on Netflix and will consist of eight 1-hour-long episodes.
First announced in September 2018, Albert Kim is set to be the showrunner, with an ensemble cast including Gordon Cormier, Dallas Liu, Kiawentiio, Ian Ousley, Paul Sun-Hyung Lee and Daniel Dae Kim. It is a live-action adaptation of the animated television series of the same name (2005–2008). Avatar: The Last Airbender is an upcoming American adventure fantasy television series.
