Williams steps up to promote ATLA

Netflix is streaming a live-action version of the series and managed to use Williams’ love for the series to their advantage. The streaming platform shared a video where Williams uses all the powers available to Aang, the main character of ATLA. In the promotional video, Williams steps up to the baseline and jumps to a humungous height with the use of air. She then smacks the ball for a serve and ignites it in flames.

A water barrel bursts, and as she lands, the Earth breaks. Her forehead had the same sign as Aang’s, and there was a similar glow in her eyes. On the tennis court, the symbols of all the elemental nations are shown as well. The promotional video signifies the gist of the series, along with Williams’ love of it. However, will she reprise her role in the live-action series?
