Live-Action Avatar Star Reveals Iconic Moment He's Most Excited About

As a film enthusiast who has spent countless hours immersed in the magical world of Avatar: The Last Airbender, I can wholeheartedly say that the excitement for the live-action adaptation is palpable, and I’m no exception. With Gordon Cormier, the man himself, expressing his eagerness to see iconic moments like Zuko’s redemption arc and Aang’s climactic battle against Fire Lord Ozai come to life on screen, it’s safe to say that we’re all in for a treat.


In a similar state of anticipation as the fans, Gordon Cormier – who portrays Aang in Netflix’s adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender – is eager to witness the live-action adaptation of the original show’s most memorable scenes. Originating from the cherished Nickelodeon series, Avatar: The Last Airbender is a reimagining of Avatar Aang’s journey to reunite the four nations following the Fire Nation’s war on the world. Despite some criticism from fans of the original production, Netflix’s take proved highly successful. The streaming service has already announced that the series will continue its narrative across two more seasons.

During an interview with ComicBook.com at Dragon Con, Gordon Cormier shared his anticipation for the show’s future developments and highlighted what he’s particularly eager to see brought to life in live-action. The original series has been etched in fans’ memories for almost two decades due to numerous unforgettable scenes. Among these, Zuko’s redemption journey and the epic finale where Avatar Aang confronted Fire Lord Ozai seem to be the most cherished by fans. Cormier concurred, expressing his shared enthusiasm for these storylines.

It will be quite exciting to add Zuko to our group. Engaging in a fight with Ozai promises to be thrilling as well. With all the visual effects included, it promises to be an incredible spectacle.

In Netflix’s adaptation, although significant alterations have been made to the original tale, viewers remain optimistic about a satisfying portrayal of Zuko’s redemption journey. This arc is renowned as one of the most impactful redemption arcs on television, so anticipation is running high. In the initial season, Zuko pursued capturing the Avatar to restore his father’s approval; however, it is during this period that he starts to heed the advice of his uncle, Iroh, who encourages him to discover what truly matters in life.

Most folks have their favorite series they can rewatch indefinitely. Some opt for charming sitcoms such as Friends or Brooklyn Nine-Nine, others enjoy sophisticated courtroom dramas like Suits, and some are drawn to complex, dark fantasy series like Game of Thrones (though the final season might be a sticking point). For Gordon Cormier, Avatar: The Last Airbender stands out as his go-to comfort show. In anticipation of Season 1’s premiere on Netflix, Cormier left everyone astonished when he disclosed that he had watched the original series an incredible 26 times.

Currently, Cormier is getting ready for Season 2 of “Avatar: The Last Airbender,” and to get back into character, he might have watched the series a few extra times. It’s no wonder that, after 26 viewings, Cormier feels like he has a deep understanding of the show. In fact, it seems that he may have developed something akin to an obsession, re-watching the series multiple times. He admitted:

After seeing it 26 times, I feel like I’ve got the hang of it. I’ve given it a spin or two more since then as well.
