Avatar Last Airbender Live-Action Star Recreates Aang Pose In New Image
Gordon Cormier, star of Netflix's upcoming live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender, channels Aang in a new image on social media. The live-action project is based on the animated series of the same name, which aired on Nickelodeon from 2005 to 2008. Netflix first announced that it would be re-imagining the award-winning Avatar: The Last Airbender as a live-action show in 2018. At the time, the show's original creators Brian Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino were attached to the project as executive producers and showrunners, but in 2020, they left while citing creative differences.
Still, despite losing the creators, Netflix forged ahead and added Albert Kim as showrunner and executive producer. In an effort to avoid one of the biggest mistakes made by M. Night Shyamalan's 2010 movie The Last Airbender, the creators of Netflix's Avatar pledged their commitment to a diverse cast that authentically represents the show's characters. This cast includes Cormier as Aang, Kiawentiio Tarbell as Katara, Ian Ousley as Sokka, Dallas Liu as Zuko, Paul Sun-Hyung Lee as Uncle Iroh, Elizabeth Yu as Azula, and Daniel Dae Kim as Fire Lord Ozai. While expectations for Netflix's live-action remake have not been lowered, seeing the cast for the new Avatar: The Last Airbender soothed many fans' doubts about the show.
