Dante Basco to Reprise Role of Fire Lord Zuko in Upcoming 'Avatar: The Last Airbender' Adult Gaang Movie; Global Casting Call Announced

Dante Basco, the voice of young Prince Zuko in Avatar: The Last Airbender (2005-2008), is returning to voice adult Fire Lord Zuko in the upcoming untitled animated adult Gaang movie, Avatar News is reporting! The new film from Avatar Studios in 2025 is currently slated to be released in theaters on October 10th, 2025.


Dante also previously voiced Zuko’s grandson Iroh II in The Legend of Korra (2012-2014), and you may also know him from his iconic role of Rufio in the 1991 movie Hook. The actor also co-hosts iHeartPodcasts and Nickelodeon's official Avatar: Braving the Elements podcast alongside Janet Varney, the voice of Avatar Korra.

Additionally, it has also been revealed that Avatar Studios is embarking on a global casting call for Asian & Indigenous voice actors in their 20s to find the adult voices of the Gaang.

Specifically, Aang, Katara, Sokka, and Toph are currently being sought out, with Zuko already being found as mentioned above, and Dante is officially attached to the movie.

They’re looking for Asian actors for Aang and Toph and Indigenous actors for Katara and Sokka (that’s not an exact quote), matching the characters’ cultural inspirations and the live-action casting process from across 2021-2022. All the roles are for the 20s age range, which matches up with previous reports that the Gaang would be young adults in the movie. The exact in-universe year the movie takes place has yet to be officially announced.

These casting calls are specifically for the 2025 adult Gaang movie, and it's currently presumed that these actors will be the new voices for the characters at these ages across Avatar Studios’ whole animated universe. Specifically of relevance is the Zuko movie.

Following launch, new episodes of The Tiny Chef Show will continue to air weekdays at 5:00pm on Nick Jr. UK & Eire. Episodes will also air at select times on Nickelodeon and Nicktoons.


The news follows Nick Jr. airing a sneak peek of The Tiny Chef Show throughout December 2022.

Nickelodeon is whipping up epic culinary adventures in the brand-new series The Tiny Chef Show. Produced in association with Imagine Kids+Family and Nickelodeon Animation, the series follows the titular social media sensation and herbivore as he introduces and cooks new recipes for the world's tiniest plant-based dishes from his tree-stump home.

The Tiny Chef Show made its world debut on Nickelodeon in the U.S. on Friday, Sept. 9, and will premiere on Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. channels internationally in the coming months. Paramount Consumer Products will lead consumer products licensing for Tiny Chef worldwide in partnership with Imagine Kids+Family.


"Mickeflowdeon and Blimagine hewped me make da besht cooking show evow, shecond onwy to Juwia Child. Fank you," said Chef.

In The Tiny Chef Show, Chef welcomes a variety of celebrity guests--Kristen Bell, Sky & Ocean Brown, Tabitha Brown, Josh Dela Cruz, Josh Gad, Liza Koshy, RZA, That Girl Lay Lay and Keith L. Williams--to talk food, friendship and more. Each episode will feature RuPaul as the voice announcer and showcase different ingredients, foods and dishes by Chef with the help from his friends: Olly, a practical and excitable robot who works closely with Chef assisting in the preparation of each episode's dish; Ruby, Chef's beloved caterpillar pet, friend and confidant with a boundless appetite; Henry, a loyal and loving snail who moves slowly around the stump and reveals Chef's Dish of the Day; and Stump Band, the show's very own house band consisting of a fork, spatula and spoon.


In the season premiere, "Pizza/Bread," Tiny Chef makes pizza and learns that friendship is more important than toppings when Ruby eats all the basil! Then later, Tiny Chef bakes bread but forgets to watch his rising dough and needs to think fast when the dough grows too big! Featuring special guests Kristen Bell and Keith L. Williams. (#101)

The Tiny Chef Show is executive produced by Imagine Entertainment Executive Chairmen Brian Grazer and Ron Howard, Imagine Kids+Family President Stephanie Sperber, as well as Kristen Bell, Morgan Sackett, and Tiny Chef creators Rachel Larsen, Adam Reid and cinematographer Ozlem Akturk for Tiny Chef Productions.
