Netflix has released the latest first-look images from its upcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender live-action series, including new looks at Gran Gran, Jet, Danny Pudi’s Mechanist and more, in honor of the Winter Solstice

As you can see below, the images bring Gran Gran to life courtesy of Casey Camp-Horinek. There are also images focusing on Suki with Mayor Yukari. In the following shots, we are treated with other special peeks including Danny Audi's Mechanist and Jet courtesy of Sebastian Amoruso. Finally, the shots are topped with a look at June preparing for battle while another shows Aang in deep meditation.

The live-action reimagining of the beloved Nickelodeon animated series follows Aang (Gordon Cormier), the young Avatar, as he learns to master the four elements of water, earth, fire and air to restore balance to a world threatened by the terrifying Fire Nation.

“Alongside his newfound friends Sokka and Katara, siblings and members of the Southern Water Tribe, Aang embarks on a fantastical, action-packed quest to save the world and fight back against the fearsome onslaught of Fire Lord Ozai. But with a driven Crown Prince Zuko determined to capture them, it won’t be an easy task,” reads the official logline. A trailer for the series was released in November.

In addition to Cormier as Aang, Ian Ousley and Kiawentiio portray brother and sister duo, Sokka and Katara; Dallas Liu plays Prince Zuko; Daniel Dae Kim is Fire Lord Ozai; Paul Sun-Hyung Lee is General Iroh; Casey Camp-Horinek is Gran Gran, the grandmother of Sokka and Katara; Arden Cho plays June, a bounty hunter; Maria Zhang plays Suki, a Kyoshi warrior; and Sebastien Amoruso stars as Jet, a rebel from the Earth Kingdom.

Albert Kim serves as showrunner and executive producer. Michael Goi and Jabbar Raisani both direct, and serve as executive producers alongside Rideback’s Dan Lin and Lindsey Liberatore. Other directors include co-executive producer Roseanne Liang and Jet Wilkinson.

Avatar: The Last Airbender will release its eight hourlong episodes on Netflix on Feb. 22, 2024.

New Paramount Theme Park in China to Feature Nickelodeon Land With Real Life Krusty Krab

Paramount is set to open a brand new theme park in China. Titled Paramount Park Kunming, the park will feature rides and areas based on many of Paramount's properties and brands, including Nickelodeon!

Nickelodeon Playtime entrance in Shenzhen.

The major $8 billion (RMB51 billion) Paramount theme park resort and arts complex will be built on the shores of Dianchi Lake in southwestern Yunnan province’s capital city Kunming. The resort itself will span an area of 643 acres out of the broader Paramount-branded development project’s total 1,899 acres, making it Hollywood’s third largest theme resort in China, following Shanghai Disneyland, which clocks in at 963 acres, and the 990-acre Universal Beijing Resort.

Paramount Park Kunming will be divided up into six areas and a central lagoon.

One of the park's areas will be the Nickelodeon-branded "Nick Joy City", which will feature three of Nickelodeon's most popular properties: SpongeBob SquarePants, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and PAW Patrol.

According to a draft of the "Paramount Theme Park Construction Project Environmental Impact Report" shared online by the Kunming Dianchi National Tourism Resort Management Committee last year, Nick Joy City will boast:

- A SpongeBob ride called the 'Bikini Bottom Bubble Battle', which is possibly a Rafting Ride by abc rides. The ride's area is 3950 square meters;

- A ride named 'Fiery Fist O' Pain'. There are no ride details but it is assumed to be a wooden roller coaster based on the ride shown in the SpongeBob SquarePants episode "Roller Cowards".

- A SpongeBob-themed ride named 'Spinning Jellyfish', although no details are currently available;

- There also seems to be rides named 'Mrs. Puff's Boating School' and something that roughly translates to 'Mr. Krabs versus Plankton';

- 'Barg'N-Mart', which seems to be the SpongeBob gift shop;

- There's also a 'Glove World' kiosk, a SpongeBob show of some sort, and last but not least 'The Krusty Krab' is listed as a restaurant;

- For PAW Patrol fans, there's a bumper car ride, The Lookout, City Hall, a kiosk, a lake, and a show;

- For Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fans, there's a show that roughly translates to 'Turtle Time is Up!' and a ride named 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Training Camp' that's 3190 square meters in size;

- Nick Joy City also has a general Nickelodeon 4D theater and store.

The Environmental Impact Report states that the total construction period for the theme park is 48 months, with plans to start construction in December 2023 and finish it in December 2027, and then open the theme park around February 2028.

"Nick Joy City" replaces "Peanuts Town", which what was originally planned for that area of the park. Based on the Peanuts comic strip, the area would have been named "Wonderland".

Paramount Park Kunming will also feature rides and attractions based on other Paramount favorites, such as Star Trek and Mission: Impossible.

Star Trek will have an entire zone that’s dedicated to the iconic franchise. It’s aptly called the Final Frontier, and will bear sci-fi attractions.

The details of the park are still scarce, but some of the placeholder names of the futuristic rides to get Trekkies all hyped up include the Warp Drive roller coaster, and the Space Dive drop towers.

There will also be a dedicated Adventure City full of callbacks to blockbuster thrillers like Mission: Impossible. There will also be an interactive IMF Spy Training Facility that’ll put the agility, flexibility, and determination of visitors to the test.

Other areas that are in the works include Dinotopia, a zone which is based on a book where humans coexist in harmony alongside intelligent dinosaurs. Visitors will also be able to splash down in water rides over at the Tomb Raider-inspired Lost Kingdom.

Back in November 2021, the Kunming Municipal Bureau of Natural Resources and Planning announced plans to revise the land where the theme park's located from being categorized as a heritage site to "recreational and sports land and commercial business land". Also, plans are underway to relocate the small village located on part of the theme park's land.

Final Frontier - based on "Star Trek" in which guests are recruited to "boldly go to places where no park guests have gone before"

Lost Kingdom - features the "Tomb Raider" franchise and includes a water ride that takes place on the "Motagua River" and a coaster named "Escape from Emerald Mountain"

The scrapped "Peanuts Town"

Dinotopia - based on James Gurney's "Dinotopia" fantasy book series in which humans live in harmony alongside intelligent dinosaurs

Paramount Boulevard - the park's Hollywood-themed "Main Street" entrance area with stores and restaurant

Adventure City - features Paramount's action movies, such as "Mission: Impossible" and "The Italian Job"
