you know I'm like I was talking some cast to and of course I'm involved with the
IP and people reach out me people have reached out to me on my platforms
from just random people all over the world that want to be involved in
audition to you know close friends that are in Hollywood that want audition and
it's like you'll see how involved I make it in as a process continues but you
never know you know it's it's Hollywood's filmmaking it's I know we're
at a time we were hopefully going to be able to cast this in a way it's gonna be very
inclusive to people of color and get it right and that would be always my
stance of trying to propel the story forward but as far as you know specific
actors you never know until you know these kids I don't know yes very strange
it's like it's Netflix we don't know it's gonna be older guys playing younger
it's gonna be real stranger things we can get really kids of that age doing
this epic adventure that plays into a lot of things you know so we'll
see how it pans out I don't know I'm excited I think was excited as anybody
else how it's gonna pan out but we'll see I got my fingers crossed but Mike and
Bryan are helming it so I got all the faith in the world those guys they
created the world they're so amazing as artists and I respect them so much as
just guys and as men as well as artists I can't wait to see what happens
and you'd be down to not necessarily reprise your role but you would be down
to come back into the live-action universe maybe you can play another
person. I'm an avatar family member for life. You know when the time's right
you know, you catch me. I might pop in somewhere anywhere who knows people that
follow my career know me. I'm one of them actors that can pop up anywhere at any
time you know after 30 years of industry is
like Dante's show up anywhere.
Welcome back everyone it's Charlie! This is going to be
my new avatar the last airbender Netflix video we have Dante Bosco Zuko himself
talking about the new Netflix series that they're currently working on right
now even though the virus is going on so we'll break it all down there's a bunch
of cool Easter eggs and behind-the-scenes stuff that's going on
if you're new to the channel be sure to subscribe to get all the videos of
course I'll be doing episode videos and bonus videos for the new Avatar The Last
Airbender series but there's a whole bunch of cool updates
stuff that Dante Bosco talks about during this so big shout-out to my dude
Dorian parks at Collider who scored this awesome interview with Prince Zuko or
should we call him fire lord zuko I guess it just depends on which part of
the timeline you're talking about so we'll cover what's going on with the new
episodes that they're producing when they're going to be casting and filming the
series with the new release date targets going to be because of all the virus
delays and what's going on with the original cast coming back and being
involved in the new show like Dante Bosco is talking about during his clip
here so there's a lot to unpack here I'll just number this as we go along to
stay organized you may have also seen that new avatar the last airbender
trailer that was circulating a little while ago there was an actual new
trailer for new avatar animation but it isn't quite what you think it is this is
the clip this world is in trouble we can't let this happen they need or
hold this basically just meant to be a promo
for a new mobile game that's doing some tie-in content with Avatar The Last
Airbender and Nickelodeon so it's not like a new episode of the TV series or
anything like that people saw it it started freaking out
like wait a minute this is brand new and as for the new series Mike and Brian
also clarified what the story will cover from the Avatar universe timeline and
what they're not going to be doing on the series because there's been a ton of
reports about comic book stuff that takes place after book 3 in the supposed
quote-unquote avatar season 4 plan that some of the writers had before the big
live-action last airbender movie with end night happened Dante Basco talks
about being involved with the series the creative behind the scenes he says he's
actually heavily involved in the creative side which I'm actually
surprised by Mike and Bryan did reveal that they were trying to get him to
participate with the new series but they didn't really specify what that meant
whether they would just try to get him to cameo in the series or if he was
going to play a major character but now it sounds like he's actually involved on a
creative level behind the scenes in the development of the actual episodes he
also does say that he probably will pop up as a character on the series although
he doesn't say which character personally I'm hoping for someone like
uncle Iroh if he's going to have a major role in the series or if he's only going to
be doing cameos then it's got to be a cabbage man or foaming mouth guy if you
want to see him on the series more though cabbage man does have way more
scenes just in terms of cameos I don't really think that he'd be a good fit for
fire lord ozai just because he's so soft-spoken like
his voice doesn't feel like an oozy kind of voice Mark Hamill was actually the
voice of Ozai in the original series if you didn't know that this defiant breath
will be your last Fire Lord Ozai when I read it I thought this thing's
not going to last cause it's too smart it's too intellectual it doesn't have the
flash bang wallop that seemed to be what was popular at that time when dante
basco talks about being way more involved behind the scenes with the
creative on the show i don't think that he's going to be a full blown executive
producer or anything like that I don't know he's going to get a producer credit
but he might wind up directing some of the episodes because he is a filmmaker
himself he does have several of his own side projects that he's produced over
the years and he doesn't even make his own music on the side the last couple of
months he's also been blowing a big-time because they just rereleased the
original series on net flow so a lot of people are rediscovering the
series a lot of people are going back to it
he even reads a lot of his avatar poems that he writes on his live streams this
is actually a poem that he made about zu Terra a while ago but then he talks
about the casting process I know there are a ton of you that have messaged me
with questions about how the casting process is going to work because of
Brian can yet SCO's Post from a couple years ago where they said they would
have some form of open casting all that open and casting calls stuff that won't
start till right before they get ready to shoot the series and they need the
people that they would be casting it is funny to hear Dante Basco talk about
other big Hollywood actors hitting him up trying to get in the new series just
because so many people are fans of Avatar and grew up with the series
they're going to him because he's like Avatar man number one he also kind of
addresses the stranger things aspect of the show which i think is a good
comparison to make the fact that the show was about a group of relatively
young kids with Aang starting out as a hundred and twelve year old man
chronologically but mentally and biologically he's still 12 years old
super young in Katara Sokka and Zuko aren't that much older
Zuko is the oldest team Aang member biologically and he's only about 17
years old when the series picks up so the big choice that Mike and Bryan have
to make for the show is how old to cast the actors personally I don't care which
way they go with that as long as whoever they get is good that's all that really
matters the only real issue with doing it the stranger things way is that you
have to produce episodes a little quicker than the traditional Netflix
series would so in terms of popularity Avatar The Last Airbender could be
Netflix's new Game of Thrones I'm hoping that makes them pick it up for multiple
seasons at the start so it's not really a big issue getting season two out a
year after season 1 this is where the actual amount of story that they're
covering on the new series is important so a lot of you have read the Avatar The
Last Airbender comics like the promise the search smoke and shadow and you know
that there's a ton of story that explains what happens to all the
characters right out to the end of book 3 but because fans have been messaging
Mike and Bryan constantly about doing an adult version of Team Aang in some kind
of new series they act the answer saying that what they're
going to be doing is just a straight-up adaptation of the original three book
series so they're just means they're not going to be doing any of that comic book
story which is kind of a bummer but they do still have some choices to make about
how to plot the episodes out will it only be three seasons if they're only
going to be adapting the three books or will it be six seasons and they'll just
split the story from each book into two halves which in my opinion is probably
the better option they did imply a while ago that they might do more animation in
the world of Avatar The Last Airbender someday but they didn't say when that
might happen or which avatar it would follow if we
get in news about that of course I'll do a video but right now the timeline for
when the casting is going to start in filming days is probably somewhere
between the end of this year and early next year and then they would start
filming by spring of next year with a possible release date between the end of
2021 or spring 2022 Netflix had originally planned on releasing the
series in 2020 but that was way back in 2018 when they first announced it was in
development so if you really want some new avatar story right now while you're
waiting for new episodes they're currently writing an avatar kyoshi book
in multiple parts the first part has already been released so you get a bunch
of her backstory Zach Tyler the voice of Aang on the original series also just
did his first big avatar interview in a long time this is what he looks like now
he's in his 20s that's how much time has gone by
don't you feel old now he hasn't been doing any big acting work or anything
like that since avatar he's mostly just been doing normal human stuff like going
to college so even if all the avatar actors don't show up in the new series
they probably will still be doing a lot of side stuff at conventions and avatar
events in real life but everyone just post all your reactions in the comments
below and let me know who do you want Dante Basco to play on the new
live-action series everyone click here for my other new video of Dante Basco
