Netflix’s live action Avatar: The Last Airbender trailer lands tomorrow, five years after series announcement

The show was first announced back in 2018.

After a long wait, Netflix will finally be giving us our first proper look at its live action take on Avatar: The Last Airbender tomorrow.

We had a small tease of the show in the form of cast photos last month , but it didn’t give us all that much to work with for the show as a whole. Though, the costume work is looking great at the very least! It was also our first look at the cast in costume since the Netflix adaptation was announced way back in 2018, so it’s been a long time coming.

It is worth noting that while creators of the original animated show Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko were attached to the live action show initially, back in 2020 the pair announced they would be leaving the project . Both DiMartino and Konietzko explained that they felt “there was no follow-through,” on Netflix’s promise to the pair when it came to how they envisioned the project. Now, Sleepy Hollow producer Albert Kim is helming the project.

While Avatar might be getting the live action treatment, Netflix is giving Scott Pilgrim the animated treatment next week, complete with the Edgar Wright directed film’s original cast - and it only took one email to get them to sign on .
