Press release -
Avatar The Last Airbender cast soars into MCM Comic Con x EGX this October
Thursday 22 August, London: ReedPop is pleased to reveal today that the cast of Avatar The Last Airbender will be attending MCM Comic Con x EGX from the 25th to the 27th of October at ExCeL London.
Running across three seasons from 2005 to 2008, Avatar The Last Airbender captured the imagination of children and adults alike, as viewers followed Aang’s journey to master all four elements and save the world from domination by the fire nation. Along the way, Aang and his friends, Sokka, Katara and Toph struggled to overcome the immense pressure placed upon them whilst also navigating the challenges of adolescence, making for a truly timeless story.
Fans of the series will be able to meet...
- Zach Eisen – The voice of Aang, Zach Eisen played the show’s titular avatar throughout all 61 episodes of the series. Zach’s voice acting lent much of the heart and emotion which enthralled a generation. In addition to Aang, Zach also voiced Pablo in The Backyardigans for nine years.
- Jack De Sena – Jack voiced Aang’s best friend, Sokka, who grew immensely as a character over the course of the series. Starting out as a brash, abrasive teen, Sokka ends the show as a caring and thoughtful tactician. Jack also runs the aptly-named “Chris and Jack” sketch comedy YouTube channel with over 400,000 subscribers, alongside his friend and fellow actor, Chris W. Smith
- Michaela Jill Murphy - Also known by Jessie Flower, Michaela is best known for voicing Toph Beifong in Avatar The Last Airbender, a role she embodied from the age of eleven until her first year of highschool. Aside from voicing Toph, Michaela also voiced characters in films such as Curious George and the Emperor’s New Groove 2, all before graduating Yale University.
The trio will be on a panel at MCM Comic Con x EGX, delving into their experiences working together on the hit series, as well as their inspirations and methods for voice acting. All panels are free to attend for ticket holders.
In addition to the panel, MCM Comic Con x EGX attendees will also be able to purchase autographs and photo opportunities with Zach, Jack and Michaela throughout the entire long weekend.
MCM Comic Con London and EGX will take place at ExCeL London from Friday 25th to Sunday 27th October, and will be the first time both events are under one roof. ReedPop will continue to reveal more exciting guests throughout the coming months.
