Actress Miya Cech has been cast as Toph Beifong in Netflix’s live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender. Producers Jabbar Raisani and Christine Boylan praised Cech's ability to capture the character’s “sarcastic sense of humor, stubbornness, and vulnerability.”
Cech has been tapped to portray the fan-favorite role of Toph Beifong , a blind girl who’s set to become Aang’s Earthbending master. According to executive producers Jabbar Raisani and Christine Boylan, they received “thousands upon thousands” of auditions after announcing the open casting search for Toph.
“We make a point of reviewing submissions separately and after countless tapes, we both had the same reaction . . . Miya is our Toph,” Raisani and Boylan said . “Miya is a brilliant performer who knows how to precisely balance the sarcastic sense of humor, stubbornness, and vulnerability that is Toph Beifong. Her physicality and emotional dexterity really put her in a class of one.
Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2 will be based on the original animated series’ second installment titled Chapter 2 — Earth, which will see Aang, Katar, and Sokka searching for the right Earthbending master for Aang. The next installment hails from new showrunners Christine Boylan and Jabbar Raisani , with Dan Lin, Lindsey Liberatore and Michael Goi executive producing.Maggie Dela Paz has been writing about the movie and TV industry for more than four years now.
