Netflix has cast Miyako as Toph Beifong in Season 2 of its live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender adaptation. Toph is the earthbending master who becomes Aang's (Gordon Cormier) teacher in the original animated series. A behind-the-scenes featurette released by Netflix offers an exclusive look at how the streamer brought the character to life for live-action audiences.
The featurette documents the casting and development of Toph's character for the new version. Miyako steps into a role previously voiced by Michaela Jae Rodriguez in the original animated series.
Toph arrives in Season 2 as an earthbender who perceives the world through vibrations in the ground. Her direct personality contrasts with the rest of Team Avatar's dynamic.
Season 2 of Netflix's live-action Avatar features Miyako's addition to the ensemble cast. Fans of the original animated series have been anticipating how the live-action version would handle Toph's character arc.
