Avatar Aang (Gordon Cormier) is growing up a lot faster than most fans of the original The Last Airbender are comfortable with. Though the Fire Nation’s evil princess, Azula (Elizabeth Yu), claims he’s “just a boy” in the latest trailer for Netflix’s live-action remake, his growth spurt speaks to the contrary.
In a way, though, Aang’s newfound maturity is kinda fitting: it mirrors the intensity he’ll encounter in the next season of Avatar: The Last Airbender. For the very first time, we’ll see the events of Book 2 adapted in live-action. It’s arguably the darkest chapter in Aang’s journey to master all four elements. War is coming to the Earth Kingdom city of Ba Sing Se — but that’s not all Aang and his pals will have to worry about this go ‘round.
