'Avatar: The Last Airbender' - Netflix promises non-whitewashed cast for upcoming live-action film, after weeks of backlash
Netflix is known for its knack for taking things and turning them better. After facing a great deal of criticism for their show 'Insatiable' and the more recent film, 'Sierra Burgess is a Loser,' it looks like the streaming giant is taking baby steps towards mending that image. Netflix faced backlash primarily due to issues surrounding the representation of characters. With them announcing a new revival for the popular Nickelodeon animated show “Avatar: The Last Airbender," we could only hope it falls in line with fans' expectations.
Recreated as a live-action series, the original creators of the anime, Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko will be serving as showrunners and executive producers of the upcoming series, which is set to begin production in 2019.
