The cast of Netflix’s live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender series welcomes new addition Daniel Dae Kim with open arms. Despite going off the air over ten years ago, Nickelodeon’s Avatar: The Last Airbender remains one of the most beloved children’s series of all time. It centers on Aang, the titular last airbender who stands as the final hope for a world ravaged by war. Avatar won over fans young and grown with its compelling world and character development, and its renewed popularity within the past year has led to the development of several new projects set within the universe.

Netflix’s Avatar has actually been in the works since 2018, but it’s only recently gained real traction. Under the care of showrunner Albert Kim, the live-action reimagining of the series has added several cast members in recent months. Gordon Cormier will take on the lead role of Aang, while his friends Katara and Sokka will be played by Kiawentiio and Ian Ousley, respectively. Dallas Liu nabbed the fan favorite role of Zuko, and just yesterday, Daniel Dae Kim was cast as overarching antagonist Fire Lord Ozai.

Members of the Avatar: The Last Airbender cast were quick to welcome Kim to the series, as noted by Avatar News. After Kim shared the news on social media, he got some fun responses from Cormier and Liu. Cormier previewed what’s to come between Aang and Ozai by pulling out a quote from the final episode of the animated series, writing, “AND NOW YOU SHALL PAY THE ULTIMATE PRICE!” Liu, meanwhile, shared his excitement by posting, “LETS DO THISSS.” Fittingly, he added a fire emoji.

In the animated series, Ozai is the tyrannical leader of the Fire Nation, consumed with continuing the war his ancestors started. Ozai doesn’t actually play a big role in the first season of Avatar: The Last Airbender; though his presence his always felt, Zuko is actually a larger villain at the beginning. However, Kim’s casting, as well as his position as a series regular, suggests he’ll have an expanded part for the Netflix show.

In that case, it’s nice to see his younger co-stars are so excited to work alongside him. Liu in particular will likely get a good number of scenes Kim, but it remains to be seen when audiences will get their first showdown between Aang and Ozai. The animated Avatar kept that until the very end, but Netflix might opt to take things in a different direction. Nevertheless, this is a positive step forward for this long-awaited show, and the enthusiasm of those behind the scenes only heightens the overall sense that Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender just might live up to expectations.
