In addition to this trio, it was announced back in August that Dallas Liu had signed up to play Zuko in the series, where he roams the world in exile. The rising star has a handful of acting credits to his name, though his most notable role is probably that of Robby Corman in Netflix's 13 Reasons Why, even though he only appeared in three episodes of the teen drama.Īs a character, Sokka is outwardly confident, even brash, which sometimes results in a few goofy moments but he also "takes his responsibility as the leader of his tribe seriously, despite his inner doubts over his warrior skills."

It's Ian Ousley who will be starring as Katara's sardonic and resourceful 16-year-old brother in the live-action Netflix series. She may only be young in age but sadly she has "already endured great personal tragedy, which has held her back from rising to her true potential, though it's never dimmed her warm and caring spirit." Now she will be joining Aang and the rest of the gang in the live-action Avatar series, which will see them rally together to save the world by defeating Ozai.ġ4-year-old Katara is described as being a "determined and hopeful waterbender," the last in her small village where she and her brother Sokka grew up.
