New photos from the set of Netflix's Avatar: The Last Airbender adaptation reveal a look at the live-action Netflix remake.
On the Avatar: The Last Airbender Subreddit, user DripMaster926 posted photos from the set of Avatar: The Last Airbender in Vancouver, British Columbia, which you can see below. While the photos don't feature any actors, they do show greenscreens and what seems to be the gate of a fortress. It's unknown at this time just what scene was being filmed and how it might factor into the live-action series. The filming notice also mentions that season one is still subtitled "Trade Winds".

Created by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, Avatar: The Last Airbender ran for three seasons from 2005 until 2008 on Nickelodeon. The series is set in a world in which some people, known as benders, are capable of wielding one of the four elements: Earth, Fire, Air and Water. However, the Avatar is capable of using all four. The main plot of Avatar: The Last Airbender saw Aang -- the titular Avatar and last Airbender -- and his friends working to stop the Fire Nation from conquering the world. Avatar: The Last Airbender is generally considered one of the best animated series ever. A sequel series, The Legend of Korra, ran from 2012 until 2014. Both series have since continued in the form of graphic novels.
Announced in 2018, Netflix's live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender began filming around November and is expected to wrap in 2022. The series features Gordon Cormier as Avatar Aang, Kiawentiio Tarbell as Katara, Ian Ousley as Sokka and Dallas Liu as Zuko. Daniel Dae Kim, who is known for his work on such projects as Lost and Hawaii Five-O, will play Fire Lord Ozai.
Originally, DiMatino and Konietzko were working on the live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender with Netflix. However, the two creators left the project in 2020, citing creative differences. In a statement, DiMartino did not discount the possibility that Netflix's adaptation would be good, but did say it wasn't his and Konietzko's vision for the project. Netflix later responded to their departure by saying it was confident in their project and team.
Developed by Albert Kim, Netflix's live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender will run for eight hour-long episodes. The project does not have a release date at this time.
