Netflix has shown off more characters from its live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender series. Along with a new image of Aang (Gordon Cormier), June (Arden Cho), Jet (Sebastian Amoruso), the Mechanist (Danny Pudi), and Gran Gran (Casey Camp-Horinket) are seen.
The showrunner of the series, Albert Kim, revealed that characters and events will be reworked to “make sense for a serialised drama.” Yukari (Tamlyn Tomita) is also seen in the images. She was never a prominent part of the original series, as the history of that family was largely unexplored. That she has been cast indicates an expanded role with this live-action series, with the description of “the fiercely protective mayor of her small village on Kyoshi Island” giving an idea of what changes have been made to one part of the story.

As for the other characters pictured, June is “a tough and persistent bounty hunter” hired by the Fire Nation to track down Aang. Jet is a rebel fighting against the Fire Nation. The Mechanist is “an eccentric inventor and engineer” raising his “idealistic and high-flying” son, Teo (Lucian-River Chauhan), in this war-torn world. Gran Gran is the matriarch of the Southern Water Tribe and grandmother of waterbender Katara (Kiawentiio) and Sokka (Ian Ousley).
The series will adapt the beginning of the tale of a young airbender named Aang, a reincarnated being who is the Avatar. A person who can harness all four elements of Air, Earth, Fire, and Water to maintain balance in a world torn apart by the Fire Nation’s desire for world domination. The first season of eight hour-long episodes of Avatar: The Last Airbender will premiere on Netflix on February 22.
