Avatar: The Last Airbender (Netflix, February 22)
Stars: Dallas Liu, Gordon Cormier, Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, Daniel Dae Kim, Kiawentiio, Ian Ousley
At long last, the live-action adaptation of the beloved animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender is almost here (with a premiere date, no less!). The sci-fi coming-of-age drama follows Aang (Cormier), a young Avatar who must master his control of the four elements of the world to save the universe. He teams up with siblings Katara and Sokka, and together they seek help from some of the original show’s memorable characters. Several Asian American actors recur, including Community’s Ken Leung and Danny Pudi, Amber Midthunder, Utkarsh Ambudkar, and Arden Cho. [Saloni Gajjar]
