Avatar: The Last Airbender's Ken Leung has shared his hopes for a possible second season.
Now streaming on Netflix, the brand-new series is a live-action adaptation of the iconic Nickelodeon animation, with Lost actor Leung breathing life into the Fire Nation's Commander Zhao.
Speaking exclusively to Digital Spy, he was asked whether Zhao survived that spectacular battle with Prince Zuko in the finale, and if so, what he'd like to see from his character going forward.

"Well I think fans of the show know that we do see him, we see him in the fog of lost souls. Although our show keeps it ambiguous," replied Leung.
"You know this is a reimagining of the original so I'm not sure how much of that they're reimagining, but it would be interesting to see him in a place where he is forced to face what he did and what it all means. That would be interesting.
"That would be interesting to investigate," he reiterated. "Like season one he's in this kind of rooster-ish kind of power position. It would be nice to see all of that broken down and he's lost in the fog of lost souls and to see what happens then."

In a case of mistaken identity, Leung actually thought he was auditioning for James Cameron's Avatar franchise during casting on The Last Airbender.
He told Deadline: "First of all, the audition – you couldn't tell that it was for Avatar. So it was kind of disguised as a different project. And when I first heard it was for Avatar, I thought I was going to be blue.
"Looking back, I kind of love that I came in blank. When you come in, when you have ideas, you can kind of corrupt a pure process. When you come in blank, things will come into it that will inform your playing of it in a way that it might not if you came in with preconceived ideas."
Avatar: The Last Airbender is now available to stream on Netflix.
