In accordance with Arden Cho, bounty hunter June’s future in Netflix’s live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Final Airbender is unsure, however she might nonetheless have a task to play within the present’s upcoming seasons. The primary season of Netflix’s Avatar: The Final Airbender tailored season 1 of the original ATLA cartoon, “Guide One: Water.” Although the live-action season featured a number of main plot and structural adjustments, it did introduce a number of the present’s fan-favorite minor characters, together with bounty hunter June, portrayed by Teen Wolf veteran Arden Cho, and June’s shirshu sniffer mount, Nyla.
After the success of season 1, Netflix shortly and properly renewed Avatar: The Final Airbender for seasons 2 and three, permitting the present to finish Aang’s Avatar story as he masters all the weather and takes on Fireplace Lord Ozai. All through the unique cartoon, minor characters who performed an necessary position in Aang’s Avatar journey reappear when wanted most, together with June. Nonetheless, throughout an interview with ScreenRant for the animated fantasy musical movie KPop Demon Hunters, Cho shared an unsure replace concerning her ATLA character’s future on the present.
ScreenRant: I liked you in season 1 of Avatar: The Final Airbender. What are you able to say, if something, about June’s story in seasons 2 or 3?
Arden Cho: Oh, man. I want I knew. I do know. I hope she’s again. We’re all making an attempt to work that out. It is a massive world, and there are a whole lot of cool characters. However yeah, she’s certainly one of my favorites. She’s so badass. I really feel actually fortunate to have the ability to play somebody like Rumi, [from Kpop Demon Hunters], but in addition June [from ATLA], and all these robust badass ladies. It is enjoyable!
What This Means For Avatar: The Final Airbender Seasons 2 & 3
June Solely Seems Once more In The Ultimate Season Of The Cartoon
Although Cho’s June wasn’t anticipated to be in Avatar: The Final Airbender season 2, as she does not seem in “Guide Two: Earth,” she did have a component to play within the authentic present’s climactic finale, “Sozin’s Comet.” Earlier than he faces Fireplace Lord Ozai, Aang disappears from the face of the Earth, and Zuko, Sokka, Katara, and Earthbender Toph rent June and Nyla to trace him down. Although unsuccessful, she does as a substitute assist them discover Zuko’s Uncle Iroh and some different acquainted allies on the eve of Aang’s largest battle.

In a surprisingly welcome change for Netflix, The Final Airbender‘s remaining two seasons had been scheduled to be shot back-to-back. Season 2 wrapped filming earlier this yr, and season 3 started manufacturing on Could 20.

Our Take On Stay-Motion Avatar’s June
She’s The Story’s Most Impartial Character
One of the crucial compelling issues about June is that she is not an inherently evil or good character. Her allegiance is to herself, Nyla, and cash, which implies she will be able to simply be slotted into virtually any storyline. In any case, Prince Zuko and Iroh aren’t the one ones in search of the Avatar, and as Workforce Avatar continues to journey world wide in order that Aang might grasp all 4 parts, she might additionally seem earlier than Zuko and Co. ask her to trace him down within the collection finale.

Netflix’s live-action Avatar: The Final Airbender is making an enormous mistake in making an attempt to vary Toph’s character and it reveals how Hollywood views anime.
Cho’s efficiency as June nailed the character’s tenacity, power, and doubtful morality, and it was enjoyable to see her flirt with Iroh as a substitute of the opposite (creepier) method round. I might be excited to see her return to the present, if solely in order that we might witness Nyla and Aang’s trusty sky bison, Appa, go head-to-head in live-action the best way they did within the animated season 1 episode “Bato of the Water Tribe.” Nonetheless, we’ll have to attend and see whether or not Arden Cho’s June will return in Netflix’s adaptation of Avatar: The Final Airbender.
