It has been ages since the world learned Avatar: The Last Airbender was gearing up for another live-action romp. After a much-maligned adaptation years ago, the team at Netflix decided it was time to give Aang another shot on film. Since then, the first season of Netflix's take on Avatar has finished filming, but we have yet to see any update on the live-action adventure. But if a new rumor is right, we may get to see Aang in person soon.
The update comes courtesy of Netflix itself as the company began teasing its next fan event. On June 17th, Netflix will host a TADUM event in Brazil and livestream it across the globe. Not long ago, a promo went live teasing the event's big series, and Avatar: The Last Airbender is listed.

Of course, this update has fans speculating a first look at Avatar: The Last Airbender might be on the horizon, such as a teaser trailer or official poster art. Filming did wrap on the project last year, and since then, we have heard little from the crew. We haven't even been given a release window, although reports say the series may drop next year, but nothing has been confirmed. TADUM would be a great place to show off its first Avatar update since production wrapped, so netizens better keep their eyes peeled in June for an Aang announcement.
The live-action remake will star Gordon Cormier as Aang, Kiawentiio as Katara, and Ian Ousley as Sokka. Dallas Liu will play Prince Zuko of the Fire Nation.
Sleepy Hollow executive producer Albert Kim will serve as the showrunner, executive producer, and writer of Netflix's Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Executive producer Albert Kim previously teased that they will be "expanding and growing the world" of Avatar, noting that there will be "surprises" for fans:
“We’ll be expanding and growing the world, and there will be surprises for existing fans and those new to the tale. But throughout this process, our byword has been “authenticity.” To the story. To the characters. To the cultural influences. Authenticity is what keeps us going, both in front of the camera and behind it, which is why we’ve assembled a team unlike any seen before—a group of talented and passionate artists who are working around the clock to bring this rich and incredibly beautiful world to life.”
There's a chance that some of those surprises could be teased during the official reveal during the event.
In the meantime, we can all binge the original Avatar series to catch up with Aang and prepare for his next outing under Avatar Studios. The Gaang is slated to reunite in a movie as young adults under director Lauren Montgomery, but we still have a ways to go before the flick is ready to go live.
