Here’s Why the New ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’ Movie Replaced the Original Cast

The saga of Avatar Aang, the last Air Nomad frozen in ice for a hundred years and returning to bring balance to the world, constantly draws attention. The animated series, Avatar: The Last Airbender became one of the most beloved franchises in the world when it debuted on Nickelodeon 20 years ago. Team Aang in that time period were mainly children as they battled the Fire Nation, stopping Fire Lord Ozai from dominating the world. Now, there is a new animated film in the works, previously titled Aang: The Last Airbender, which has been renamed as The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender. This latest part of Aang's saga will follow Team Aang as young adults as they seek to bring peace to the world after the destructive war with the Fire Nation has ended. With some new cast members coming onboard, the casting director behind the animated film opened up about the changes to the voice cast.
