What is it about?
Avatar: The Last Airbender follows Aang, the young Avatar, as he learns to master the four elements (Water, Earth, Fire, and Air) to restore balance to a world terrorized by the scary Fire Nation and Fire Lord Ozai. Along the way, Aang will team up with Water tribe siblings Katara and Sokka, as well as many other unforgettable characters.
“Avatar: The Last Airbender live action I feel like is going to bring everything you know and love about the original series back to life,” said Gordon Cormier, who plays Aang, when he and his co-stars took the stage at Tudum: A Global Fan Event in Brazil earlier this year.
“And hopefully [it will] just bring a bunch of new fans who have never heard [of] the show before into this universe, and to me that’s pretty exciting. I’m a fan of the show personally, and I’m just as excited for this as you guys are.”
Avatar: The Last Airbender Live action series: Synopsis
The official synopsis of the series reads:
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, 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 and Katara, 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. But with a driven Crown Prince Zuko 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.
