Avatar: The Last Airbender is a really beloved series, and with a new animated film on the way, the newest actor behind Katara is hoping she doesn’t mess up.
A sequel film to the original Avatar series has been in the works for a little while now, and back in April the voice cast was revealed, which for the part has some lesser-known names, though it did also attach Guardians of the Galaxy’s Dave Bautista in an unnamed villain role. That selection of new cast is taking over the roles of beloved characters like Aang, Katara, Sokka, and Toph, and in a recent interview with Collider, Jessica Matten, the new voice behind Katara, spoke of what it’s been like taking over the role, getting to know the rest of the cast, and the weight she feels over joining such a beloved series.
When asked about what it meant to be a part of the widely loved franchise, Matten said “I’m really honored,” continuing on to say “It’s really cool. I actually got to meet Eric Nam, who’s playing Aang a couple of weeks ago in LA, and he’s a nice human. I’ve met Dave Bautista a couple of years ago in Toronto. I met Dave briefly in Toronto just through mutual friends. He’s a great guy too, so I’m really excited that it’s just a cast of incredible people, really kind.
