Avatar: The Last Airbender Character Posters Spotlight Fire Nation
Netflix & showrunner Albert Kim's Avatar: The Last Airbender is shining a spotlight on Daniel Dae Kim's Fire Lord Ozai and the Fire Nation.
We think it's safe to say that it's been a pretty good week for viewers excited about Netflix and showrunner Albert Kim's (Sleepy Hollow, Nikita) take on Avatar: The Last Airbender. At this point, just the main English-language Netflix trailer alone has crossed the 4 million viewers mark in three days. And based on the reactions that we're seeing online, it looks like Netflix might just have another One Piece/The Sandman hit on its streaming hands. After getting character posters for Gordon Cormier's Aang, Kiawentiio's Katara, Ian Ousley's Sokka, and Dallas Liu's Zuko, the focus is shifting to Daniel Dae Kim's Fire Lord Ozai and other members of the Fire Nation – here's a look:
And here's a look back at the official trailer and overview for Netflix's Avatar: The Last Airbender live-action series, set to hit screens on February 22, 2024:
Water. Earth. Fire. Air. The four nations once lived in harmony, with the Avatar, master of all four elements, keeping peace between them. But everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked and wiped out the Air Nomads, the first step taken by the firebenders towards conquering the world. With the current incarnation of the Avatar yet to emerge, the world has lost hope.
But like a light in the darkness, hope springs forth when Aang (Gordon Cormier), a young Air Nomad — and the last of his kind — reawakens to take his rightful place as the next Avatar. Alongside his newfound friends Sokka (Ian Ousley) and Katara (Kiawentiio), siblings and members of the Southern Water Tribe, Aang embarks on a fantastical, action-packed quest to save the world and fight back against the fearsome onslaught of Fire Lord Ozai (Daniel Dae Kim). But with a driven Crown Prince Zuko (Dallas James Liu) determined to capture them, it won't be an easy task. They'll need the help of the many allies and colorful characters they meet along the way.
