• Noah Ringer as Aang
  He is an Airbender who disappeared from public sight a hundred years ago. While chronologically one hundred and twelve years old, Aang still retains his biological age of twelve. He is the latest incarnation of the Avatar Spirit. Though he is capable of bending all four elements, at the beginning of the film he has only learned to Airbend. He deeply loves Katara and has strong romantic feelings for her. It is also his duty to maintain balance in the world, which conflicts with his easy-going, fun-loving personality.
• Dev Patel as Prince Zuko
  a sixteen-year-old Fire Nation prince who travels with his uncle Iroh. The former heir to the throne, he was exiled by his father, Fire Lord Ozai, and ordered to capture the Avatar (who had not been seen in almost a century, making the assignment a wild-goose chase) in order to regain his lost honor.
• Nicola Peltz as Katara
  a fourteen-year-old girl of the Southern Water Tribe and its last remaining waterbender. Since the death of her mother, Kya, she has served as the maternal, motherly figure in her family, and is no stranger to responsibility despite her young age. She is Aang's good, close friend, and romantic love interest and sweetheart.
• Jackson Rathbone as Sokka
  a fifteen-year-old warrior from the Southern Water Tribe and Katara's older brother. He can be condescending, and has no waterbending abilities. He often takes up leadership roles by virtue of coming up with most of the workable plans and tactics.
• Shaun Toub as Uncle Iroh
  Zuko's paternal uncle. He is extremely easy-going and friendly, and often acts as a surrogate father to Zuko. Formerly a great general of the Fire Nation, personal tragedies led to his retirement, and the role of heir-presumptive passed to his younger brother Ozai.
• Aasif Mandvi as Commander Zhao
  a hot-tempered Fire Nation Commander in pursuit of the Avatar. He is Zuko's principal rival.
• Seychelle Gabriel as Princess Yue
  The princess of the Northern Water Tribe, who was Sokka's first girlfriend, and romantic love interest. In a tragic turn of events, she sacrificed herself to save the water tribe and the balance of the earth, by turning into the moon.
• Cliff Curtis as Fire Lord Ozai
  The leader of the Fire Nation as well as Prince Zuko's father.
• Summer Bishil as Princess Azula
