Jennifer Hale Talks ‘Avatar’ Revival and Possible Kyoshi Return

Everyone knows that Avatar: The Last Airbender is undoubtedly one of the biggest animated series of all time. Both the original and its sequel, The Legend of Korra, were extremely popular and that is why fans keep returning to the franchise.

We have recently reported on how the series would be getting a revival and the fans are truly hyped to see more animated episodes, alongside Netflix’s live-action adaptation of the original series.

Now, voice actress Jennifer Hale talked to the press about the series’ return, and she also told us more about the possibility of Kyoshi’s return to the new series.

Kyoshi was the Earth Kingdom-born Avatar in the series and is a very important part of the franchise’s lore. Jennifer Hale voiced Kyoshi in the series and she was quite excited about the series’ revival. “I love seeing the resurgence, and it’s so cool that a new generation gets to dive into this and experience it,” she explained before explaining how much she loved her character, Kyoshi.

“I love this character, Kyoshi, because she will do what it takes regardless. I think we have that in common for better or for worse. I love her strength because it was recorded during a time where this wasn’t as common and women weren’t as much in these roles, doing these kinds of things. Now, thankfully, this seems much more of the norm. At that point, it was just beginning to take part of that.”

Does this mean that we could see Kyoshi in the revival? “I would love to jump back into the role. I would be there with bells on, let me at it,” Hale said. “Any participation in that would be a joy! I’ve actually seen the Kyoshi novels and I’ve signed several of them that fans have brought to me. Love the role.“
