Netflix has finally revealed the cast of the character Toph Beifong in the live action Avatar: The Last Airbender season 2.
After the failure of the previous live action adaptation of Avatar, Netflix managed to present a more interesting and accurate story in the live action series. In addition, Netflix has also officially announced the second season for this adaptation project.
With the new storyline, it means that new characters will also be introduced, one of which fans are waiting for is Toph Beifong. Many fans want to know who the actor who will play this earthbending character is.
However, now Netflix has officially announced the actor who will take on the role of Toph Beifong. Based on available information, Miya Cech will play Toph.
1. Miya Cech will be the cast of Toph Avatar Live Action Season 2
Avatar: The Last Airbender has officially announced Miya Cech as one of the main characters in the second season. Miya Cech will play Toph, an earthbender who was born blind and trained to sense the environment around her.
Executive producers Jabbar Raisani and Christine Boylan stated that they received “thousands of auditions” for the role of Toph, but they immediately felt that Cech was the right choice for the character.
The announcement of Miya Cech as Netflix’s Toph was made through a photo of the actress on social media. In addition, they also shared a short video showing one of the iconic moves of the character Toph, to the famous song from Avatar: The Last Airbender.
The video, along with the announcement of Toph’s casting, indicates that production for season 2 of Avatar: The Last Airbender has officially begun. The footage is part of Geeked Week 2024 and shows Toph barefoot.
As seen in the animated series, he does this to be able to “hear” and feel the vibrations of the ground. This is because Toph Beifong himself cannot see due to his blindness.
However, information regarding the air date for the second season of the popular animated series is still not available.
2. Miya Cech has Prepared in Advance
Actress Miyako Cech is known as the star of the series Beef, Young Roch, and The Santa Clauses. Prior to her involvement in Avatar: The Last Airbender, she also appeared in You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah.
He revealed that he had been practicing for some time to prepare himself to be Toph Beifong. He also collaborated with the producer and consultant, who is visually impaired and an expert from the visually impaired community, to ensure that he represented the community appropriately.
“I’ve been in boot camp for about a week and a half now and there’s still a lot to do, but it’s a lot of fun. I have some martial arts experience,” she said as quoted by CNN.
