First Impressive Look at an AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER Fan Film Featuring Yoshi Sudarso as Zuko

I recently shared a tweet from Yoshi Sudarso that showed him with scarring eerily similar to Prince Zuko’s from Avatar: The Last Airbender. I had no idea what the heck was going on. Had he been cast in Netflix’s live-action adaptation? Was he working on a fan project? Did he just want to make a killer cosplay?

It turns out that it was the second idea. Sudarso seems to have teamed up with Re:Anime who specialize in making live-action adaptations of anime. It appears that they’re working on a live-action version of the fight between Azula and Zuko/Katara.

Yasmin Kassim will portray Katara, Nikki SooHoo will be Azula, and Sudarso will be Zuko. Josh Mabie is serving as director. A teaser is planned to drop at the end of the week, but in the mean time check out some pictures from Re:Anime’s Instagram feed!

CEO of Re:Anime, Nik Shaw, has mentioned that their intent with this short film is to prove to Netflix that they are the right production company for the job. What say you?

These amazing actors really brought the characters to life today. They did not only made me feel like I was watching zuko, katara, and Azula in real life. I felt apart of the world with them and didn't want it to be over. But sadly THAT'S A WRAP.
