Daniel Dae Kim, known for Hawaii Five-O and Lost, has been cast as Fire Lord Ozai in Netflix’s live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Netflix’s live-action adaptation of the celebrated Nickelodeon series Avatar: The Last Airbender has found its Firelord Ozai in Daniel Dae Kim.
Kim, who is known for his roles in Hawaii Five-O, Lost, and the Divergent movie series, will play the powerful tyrant Ozai who leads the Fire Nation, as reported by Deadline. Firelord Ozai is the father of Prince Zuko, who is desperate to win his father’s approval by hunting down the Avatar, Aang.
Avatar: The Last Airbender is a reboot of the animated series of the same name Gordon Cormier will play Aang and Dallas Liu has been cast as Zuko. Also already cast are the Water Tribe sister and brother, Katara and Sokka, who team up with Aang. These two will be played by Kiawentiio and Ian Ousley, respectively.
It was previously reported that production on the show was seeking additional actors for several major roles, including Fire Lord Ozai. The casting call required a man with a physical description that Kim matches, and described the character as a CEO of a major corporation who stops at nothing to gain more power and holds his children up to an unrealistically perfect standard.
Other parts, including Ozai’s daughter Azula and brother Iroh, do not yet have their actors announced.
Netflix’s live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender doesn’t yet have a release date. All three seasons of the original series, all four seasons of Korra, and The Last Airbender (2010) are all available to watch on Netflix US right now.
