According to the update from AvatarNews, the fan-page has learned Arden Cho has been cast in the live-action adaptation. The report says Cho has been brought on to play June in the live-action series, so the actress will get to play one of the best bounty hunters in the Elemental Nations.
If you do not remember June, the Avatar character debuted in Book One as a fearsome bounty hunter on a mission. June has no loyalties when it comes to work, and she will ride her shirshu to the ends of the Earth to find a quarry. Her skills at tracking and capturing are second to none as June learned the bounty hunting business from herfather. And after running into Zuko on a job, June finds herself tasked with hunting Aang.

If the reports are spot on, Cho will be the actress responsible for bringing June to life when Netflix releases its adaptation. This role is just the latest one for Cho to undertake as fans came to know her well with Teen Wolf. She played Kira Yukimura on the MTV original series and will soon appear in Netflix’s Partner Track, an original rom-com that follows an ambitious lawyer gunning for partner whose dreams are turned upside down when a former lover gets in her way.
