Attack of the Fire Nation
Hey Gaang! It’s the return of Netflix’s hit live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender for another season. The streamer has just released a new epic trailer, which has confirmed that the show will start streaming on Netflix on June 25. The cast for season two will include Gordon Cormier, Kiawentiio, Ian Ousley, Dallas Liu, Miya Cech, Elizabeth Yu, Ty Lee and Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, with Maria Zhang and Daniel Dae Kim. We get a good look at the grand scale of war that fans will be treated to this time around, as an army of firebenders threatens to destroy the whole kingdom. Element-bending action ensues in an all-out battle.
Netflix announced last year that Miya Cech would play Toph Beifong for the series, much to the delight of fans. Toph Beifong is a blind teenager who (eventually) agrees to train Aang in the ancient art of Earthbending. Aang would call her the best Earthbender he’s ever seen and her character has been described as “sassy, confident and unfiltered. For most of her life her strength and formidable earthbending skills have been suppressed, but now on the run as the Avatar’s earthbending master she is uninhibited to become the fierce warrior she believes she is inside.”
