Avatar: The Last Airbender has had a rocky road to the screen. After the first live-action adaptation of the beloved animated show, M Night Shyamalan's 2010 movie, failed to ignite audience imaginations, hopes turned to a new Netflix reboot.
It had all the right ingredients this time around, including the involvement of the original creators, Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, before everything hit a roadblock. In June 2020, they announced they were leaving the series and, as its showrunner Albert Kim tells SFX magazine in the new issue, which features Halo season 2 on the cover, this was almost the end of the line for his involvement as well.
