Netflix / Supergiant Games
1) Avatar: The Last Airbender live-action
We are finally getting an Avatar: The Last Airbender live-action series that looks like it'll not suck, unlike the movie adaptation which was a horrifying take on the animated series for its subpar acting, story, and CGI.
We hope this series will give Avatar the redemption arc it deserves!
It tells the story of the four nations who once lived in harmony with the Avatar ( a master of all elements) keeping the peace between them. Everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked and wiped out all the avatars in existence except one boy named Ang.
Follow Ang and his two friends, Sokka and Katara as they embark on a journey full of adventures and difficulties.
Expect Avatar: The Last Airbender live-action in 2024. Netflix still hasn't confirmed a specific release date.
