Thalia Tran Cast As Mai In Netflix’s ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’ Live-Action Series

16-year-old Thalia Tran receives the role of Mai in Netflix’s ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’ live-action series, according to Avatar News. Tran previously voiced Noi in Raya and the Last Dragon. Her past roles include Charlotte Perry in Raina in Little and Council of Dads. She appeared in Tiny Feminists and Brat TV’s Hotel Du Loone.

Tran rounds out team Azula. Lizzy Yu will play Princess Azula, and Momona Tamada will portray Ty Lee.

“The dangerous ladies will have expanded roles in Season 1 of the live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender series that sees their whereabouts during the events of Book One: Water,” Avatar News reports.

Netflix announced the main cast for the show, which includes Gordon Cormier, Dallas Liu, Kiawentiio Tarbell, and Ian Ousley.

GORDON CORMIER (he/him) is AANG (12), a fearless and fun-loving twelve-year-old who just happens to be the Avatar, master of all four elements and the keeper of balance and peace in the world. An airbending prodigy, Aang is a reluctant hero, struggling to deal with the burden of his duties while still holding on to his adventurous and playful nature.

KIAWENTIIO (she/her) is KATARA (14), a determined and hopeful water bender, the last in her small village. Though only fourteen, she’s already endured great personal tragedy, which has held her back from rising to her true potential, though it’s never dimmed her warm and caring spirit.

IAN OUSLEY (he/him) is SOKKA (16), Katara’s sardonic and resourceful 16-year-old brother. Outwardly confident, even brash, he takes his responsibility as the leader of his tribe seriously, despite his inner doubts over his warrior skills… doubts that he masks with his wit and deadpan sense of humor.

DALLAS LIU (he/him) is ZUKO (17), a skilled fire bender and the intense and guarded Crown Prince of the Fire Nation. Currently roaming the world in exile, he’s on an obsessive quest to capture the Avatar because he believes that is the only way to reclaim his life and live up to the demands of his cruel and controlling father, the Fire Lord.

Albert Kim serves as the showrunner. Dan Lin, Lindsey Liberatore for Rideback, and Michael Goi are executive producers. Michael Goi, Roseanne Liang, and Jabbar Raisani will direct the episodes.

Netflix’s ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender live-action series doesn’t have a release date. The show may release in the spring of 2023.
