Avatar: The Last Airbender has gone from a Nickelodeon experiment to one of the most enduring animated fantasy series of all time.
The original story of Aang, Katara, and the rest will also continue in a sequel movie made to celebrate The Last Airbender’s 20th anniversary.
But Yeun already has a role in the franchise, having voiced Wan, the first Avatar, in three episodes of The Legend of Korra.
Steven Yeun will play Zuko in The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender, even if some fans aren’t thrilled by the decision.
But Zuko is a fan-favorite character thanks to his all-time great redemption story, and Basco’s voice still suits Zuko’s character.
