Toph voice actor confirms no return for ‘Avatar’ movie

During CinemaCon 2023 in April, fans eagerly gathered to learn more about the highly anticipated project from Avatar Studios. The event unveiled intriguing details about the forthcoming film, set to grace the big screen on October 10, 2025. Excitement reached its peak as fans were treated to captivating concept art showcasing the adult versions of their beloved characters. This cinematic masterpiece will transport viewers approximately 15 years into the future, picking up where the series left off, with the lead cast now in their late 20s or early 30s. To the delight of fans, series creators Bryan Konietzko and Michael DiMartino (fondly known as Mike ‘n Bryan) will be responsible for writing the movie, while Eric Coleman, the executive producer of Avatar, will be at the helm of this creative endeavor.

However, during a recent interview at Momocon Atlanta, the talented voice actress Michaela Jill Murphy, also known by her previous credited name Jessie Flower, dropped an unexpected revelation. Murphy, who portrayed the spirited character Toph, confirmed that neither she nor the other principal cast members would reprise their roles in the upcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender film. Speculation had been swirling regarding Konietzko and DiMartino’s intention to seek fresh talent to bring the older versions of these characters to life, but this was the first official confirmation that devoted fans received.

When asked if she would be interested in returning for the film, Murphy’s response reflected her eagerness to be part of any acting opportunity. She expressed, “Yeah, I mean, listen, if you’re an actor, you’re always interested in being called back for a project… I think they’re going to be recasting for pretty much everything, and, you know, Mike and Bryan do what they want. So it’s not like people are going to clamor and be like, ‘Bring back the originals!’ and they’re just going to change their minds. Not that I’m thinking that’s gonna happen. But they very much have a vision, and this is something they feel is best for the show, and so they do it.”

Murphy further elaborated on the artistic integrity of the Avatar creators, emphasizing their unwavering commitment to storytelling. She mentioned how, after the original series concluded with three seasons, fans were clamoring for a fourth season, but the creators opted to maintain the integrity of the narrative. Although they did create a new show called The Legend of Korra, they refused to compromise the story by producing an additional season simply to please the fans. This resolute dedication to their creative vision has earned the creators a loyal following. While Murphy expressed her disappointment at not being part of the film, she conveyed her excitement and support, vowing to cheer alongside the audience when the movie hits theaters.
