During Netflix’s Tudum 2023 event, exciting new trailers were unveiled for the much-awaited live-action adaptations of the beloved animated shows One Piece and Avatar: The Last Airbender. A comprehensive trailer of One Piece was released ahead of its premiere on Netflix on August 31st, while a short teaser trailer for Avatar: The Last Airbender was provided, which isn’t set to launch until 2024.

The 90-second One Piece trailer offered a glimpse into the cast and locales of the manga-inspired, long-standing anime series’ live-action rendition. It prominently featured Iñaki Godoy, the star portraying the naive yet warm-hearted protagonist Monkey D. Luffy, who possesses the ability to stretch like rubber. Other key members of the Straw Hat Pirate crew include Mackenyu as Roronoa Zero, Emily Rudd as Nami, Jacob Romero Gibson as Usopp, and Taz Skylar as Sanji.

In contrast, the 37-second Avatar: The Last Airbender teaser remained cryptic, with no actual footage of the cast or the live-action remake’s settings. Instead, it showcased symbols of the four nations – Water Tribes, Earth Kingdom, Fire Nation, and Air Nomads, accompanied by faint audio cues related to their respective elements. The cast is set to feature Gordon Cormier as Aang, Kiawentiio as Katara, Ian Ousley as Sokka, and Daniel Dae Kim as Fire Lord Ozai, once it is unveiled.

Fans may remember that the original creators of Avatar: The Last Airbender, Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, stepped away from the project a few years ago, sparking concerns about the faithfulness of the new adaptation to the original content. DiMartino shared in 2020, “I recognized that while I couldn’t control the creative trajectory of the series, I could dictate my response.” He went on to say that parting from the project was his toughest professional decision, crucial for his contentment and creative integrity. However, he expressed optimism for the Netflix adaptation, stating that it “carries the potential to be successful.” The wait until next year will tell.
