“Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked.” OK, however how precisely? That’s one of many many, many questions that might be answered in a future Avatar: The Last Airbender sequence, as creators Bryan Konietzko and Michael DiMartino launch Nickelodeon’s Avatar Studios. The pair have hinted at years of concepts—every one having its story and magnificence inside the world of Avatar—however we’ve received some concepts of our personal.
“We want each of these projects to have its own feeling, its own tone and look. It’ll all feel true to the Avatar world, but they’ll all be different expressions of it,” Konietzko stated on Nickelodeon’s “Avatar: Braving the Elements” podcast.
In a current look on “Avatar: Braving the Elements,” hosted by The Legend of Korra’s Janet Varney and Avatar: The Last Airbender’s Dante Basco, Konietzko and DiMartino mentioned their plans for Avatar Studios. Following the creators’ exit from Netflix’s deliberate Avatar: The Last Airbender live-action sequence, Nickelodeon launched a whole division devoted to creating exhibits, movies, novels, and different properties inside the world of Avatar. DiMartino shared how Nickelodeon has given him and Konietzko quite a lot of inventive freedom to pursue tasks that matter to them, and to the world of Avatar.
“The way we’re approaching it now is so different than Avatar. We’re coming in now and we have unprecedented support from Nickelodeon. It is the franchise, the shows and the animated stuff, but also other stuff beyond in publishing and podcasts,” he stated. “We have all these ideas. And ideally we’re gonna get to, over the years, explore all of them and make them. But it’ll take a long time.”
The pair have been reluctant to speak about any of the concepts they’re percolating—all we all know at present is that there’s a full-length animated movie within the works—however Konietzko famous how they’re taking a look at each the “history and future” of Avatar’s world. That’s fairly a wide array, spanning 1000’s of years and numerous Avatar regenerations. So far (aside from the books and graphic novels), we’ve been largely restricted to the occasions of Avatar: The Last Airbender and companion sequence The Legend of Korra, which came about after Avatar Aang’s demise. The thought of getting to return (or ahead) a whole bunch and even 1000’s of years guarantees such an enormous playground. Game of Thrones, eat your coronary heart out.

“We just keep tapping into this wellspring in the way that inspires us, and finding great creative partners to work with us and to help us explore these ideas. Mike and I have sort of mapped out a very ambitious, multi-tiered—I don’t know, it feels like a big octopus,” Konietzko stated. “We’re just looking at how we can go deeper into this big, rich, largely untapped history and future in the Avatar world. There are ideas that we’ve been excited about for a long time, that we’re finally getting to really dive into. And then there’s things that we’re just figuring out, just getting excited about. If we were just trying to take requests, it’s not the way to carve out a big fantasy universe.”
Sure, Konietzko stated they’re not taking requests for present and film concepts—however that’s not going to cease us from making strategies! Personally, I’d like to see the story of the Second Avatar, after Wan. We discovered about Wan in The Legend of Korra and the way he turned the First Avatar, however I’d like to see the primary reincarnation. How did they react to being the primary individual born with this big duty of sustaining stability between the bodily and non secular worlds—and, maybe extra importantly, how did the world react to them? I’d additionally love to listen to your concepts (and fanfic) for increasing the world of Avatar in future exhibits and movies. Let me know within the feedback!
