New Photo of Dev Patel as Zuko Revealed

Thanks to Last Airbender Fans for the pic!
That style of helmet is not exclusive to The Lord of the Rings. It’s actually a common style of helmet from many points in history.

AMAZING picture!! I love it.
I love the armor
woooooooooooooooa!!
exelente se ve genial muchas felicidades esta padrisima la foto, ojala que no me bateen por contestar en espa�ol
Where is his scar?
You can't see it? It's there… if we had a bigger version of this picture, it'd be easier to see it. They created a more realistic burn mark than the cartoon version.
when did lord of the rings come in?
Bob: That style of helmet is not exclusive to The Lord of the Rings. It's actually a common style of helmet from many points in history.
Oh, cool! They're in Katara and Sokka's village! The armor looks great. I wonder if there are any red accents like in the cartoon, though. I liked that color combination.
About Zuko's scar: you can see it better if you tilt your screen or increase the contrast of the photo. They did a good job on it.
Dev looks nothing like Zuko.
They didn't put any effort into making the armor somewhat look like the FN armor in the show.
This movie is shaping up to both suck and look nothing like Avatar.
the real bob: The actors don't need to look like the characters. It may be a positive, but it's how they actually PLAY the characters the defines the quality of their performance.
From what we can see, no, the armor doesn't look like the original armor. But there is only a very small visible portion, and the rest is covered by a cloak. Besides, there is such a thing as artistic license. Granted, I may have liked the original armor better, but different isn't always bad.
It's extremely difficult to make an accurate jugement of a film just from pictures – especially as few as have been provided thus far. The trailer will likely give a more accurate representation of the look and feel of the film.
@Winged: This pic is cut from a larger version of the pic. There is a little red lining the fire nation suits in the larger version, but not enough IMO. I always stress that the FN suits need to be RED, no emo black. >< '
Anyone notice this Photo and the one of the Northern Water Tribe set, that it seem like they are trying to stay close to the story as much as they can for a 2 and a half hour movie based on 20 half hour episodes.
@Winged: Sorry Winged, but I feel with the “they actually PLAY the characters the defines the quality of their performance” comment you made that you're just coming up with the cheap excuse to defend M Night's actions. Why are Asians allowed to be discriminated against and pushed aside, but that doesn't apply for whites. Are you aware of the TV show The Boondocks? Would you srtiously be sitting here and defending a live action Boondocks movie that has a white Huey Freeman as the main character? You most likely wouldn't. I'm sorry, but people need to stop pretending that the charaters of Avatar aren't Asian and that anyone can play them. I know a LOTR movie with an Asian cast would of been stupid, so is a Avatar movie with white heroes and Indian villains. Stop making up excuses for this cast. They aren't hiding the fact that M Night screwed up royally on the cast.
your right the real bob,this movie is sucking the armor zukos scare aangs arrow their suits this isnt even avatar any more.
zukos hair is wrong
@the real bob: I should probably make it clear that I have never watched any of M. Night's movies previous work, and feel no need whatsoever to defend him or his decisions. I, too, believe that the cast should more accurately represent the ethnic diversity of the Avatar world. But since the cast has been finalized, I see no reason to complain about decisions that can't be changed. I'm not trying to make excuses for anyone. I just don't want to cut off the option of being entertained by the movie because I don't agree with the ethnicity of the actors.
@DNDragonmare: Really? That's disappointing.
I liked the red armor.
@Winged: The reason we “complain” is because we want to make our opinions known and we want to explain to people who support this movie why the cast is wrong. That is why. Believe me, we know the casting will not be changed, which is why our main goal is to boycott the movie, but I shouldn't be mentioning that on a fansite.
Anyway, have fun with the movie. Tell me how it goes.
sure it doesn't look anything like the cartoon we all love but I think it looks REALISTIC. Thats the key thing. If Zuko walked around in what he wears in the show and had his hair in a bald top pony tail it wouldn't be taken seriously. I think Dev looks awesome!….and believable
Your boycott will do nothing but help TLA make more money. Ever seen “Arrested Development?” In it, a movie is boycotted and ends up being a smash hit.
I'm sick of all of you complaining about them “not being accurate.” We've already seem avatar and the ideas of mike and bryan. Now its time to see someone elses vision of the avatar world. Its a fresh new start. Why would u go see a movie about something you already seen. I like all the changes, fire nation idians, aangs new arrow design, and zuko's hair. Its different and i love it. So, if you're pissed about the changes then dont see the f***ing movie and stop commenting here. Go boycott a better cause. (not directed to any “The Last Airbender supportors.”
zuko's scare is bigger
Wait.
Why didn't they just cast Dante Basco, the voice actor of Prince Zuko? Did they ever consider him? Just wondering.
Dante is in his thirties. That would just be weird if he was chasing around 12 year old Noah (Aang).
I'm not a real great fan of M. Night because I always feel that his movies come short towards the endings, but I am a fan of Avatar. But getting on to my point, I would have to agree with Winged, most movies aren't accurate to their original counterparts and I feel like it really doesn't take away from the movie IF they can play their roles accurately. In my case, I just recently watched Star Trek and although I'm not a fan of it and it isn't accurate to the original, I still felt like it was one of the best movies I've watched in a long time [nothing beats Asian movies though]. Although I do hate it when American remakes on movies like Dragonball cast White people when they aren't White in the anime and their acting is really REALLY bad. If their acting was good, like what Winged said, I would be able to get over their appearances and just appreciate the director's efforts in bringing to life a movie version of something I already like.
Look up Arthurian helmets, if you think it’s like Lord of the Rings:

Again… commonplace style of helmet.
@ the real bob: Discrimination? Seriously? Take a look at the cast list again. By no means is the cast all white. And I'm just curious – since when was India not part of Asia??
And while the Avatar world was heavily influenced by certain Asian cultures, the world itself and the races are not the same as this world and the various races here. For instance – which race on this planet is naturally dark-skinned and blue eyed? There isn't one. Because the Avatar world isn't this planet, and it isn't populated by people from this planet. Get over it.
i am sooo glad they are not making this movie look cartoon. if they made zuko look the same, (same hair, same clothes, same scar) and if aang's arrow was the same it would seem like we are just watching the cartoon again. And this movie is not only for kids, its geared toward adults too, and i think they are doing a great job so far
and people seem to think that all the characters in this movie should be played by Asians, but have you not noticed that in the cartoon the four nations are four DIFFERENT nations. Much like this planet, the four different nations (or counties) should look DIFFERENT- In the movie: water tribe- cacasians, fire nation- indians, earth kingdom- asians (so far i guess), and air nomads- doesnt matter cause there is only one. And just because they picked Indians to play fire nation people does NOT mean they are being racist. They picked these people because they obviously thought they ACTED the best, and i really dont think it should matter which nation is which race just as long as they portray the characters well.
is this lord of the rings part 4?
they already made to much lord of the rings why is there a fourth one
ah just get over the helmets already. I do agree they look like LOTR but there is no point complaining.
specter: i dont know why you think i am showing my historical ignorance if i didnt even say anything about the history of the helmets. And we are just stating our opinions about the look helmets so dont call us fools. It just annoys me that people think it is a BAD thing that they look like LOTR, thats all
Re: Lord of the Rings…. again, give it up. If you look at the actual helmets that they’re wearing, they look like all sorts of helmets from throughout history. From shogun to Trojan to roman. Stop showing your historical ignorance. You sound like fools when you talk about the helmets and compare them to Lord of the Rings (as if that’d be a negative at all… all three were nominated for Best Picture and the third swept every nomination).
respekt44: sorry about the mis-communication. I wasn’t actually talking to you. I should have been more clear in who that was directed at, and I apologize. This was directed toward momo and bob.
I wasn't even thinking about LOTR when i saw the helmets lol. idk why ppl r calling it LOTR 4 jus because of the design of the helmet. I've seen the design plenty of times in movies besides LOTR.
Specter: ok
apology accepted
I really enjoyed Dev Patel on Slumdog… A nice discovery… Now I'm happy Shyamalan to picked up him for Aavatar… Zuko looks cools, but… Waiting for the trailer to see him better… ^^
:angry: It looks like crap!
:crying:This stupid realistic movie makes me sad! I WANT THE ANIME BACK ! ! ! ! !
No one’s going to stop you from watching the cartoon. (It’s not anime. It’s american made and Korean animated. Anime is made in JAPAN.)
