Is Aryan Simhadri in Netflix's live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender? The Percy Jackson star recently shared some photos attending the show's premiere, bringing fans hope that he might have a role in this live adaptation, too! So, does he? Well, here's what we know.
Is Aryan Simhadri in Netflix's New Avatar: The Last Airbender?
Aryan Simhadri, who is best known for his role as Grover in Percy Jackson and the Olympians on Disney Plus, dressed up for Netflix's world premiere of Avatar: The Last Airbender (ATLA) at The Egyptian Theatre Hollywood on February 15 in LA, California.
Simhadri was photographed together with Avatar actors Momona Tamada (who plays Ty Lee), Dallas James Liu (Zuko), Nathaniel Kong (Longshot), and even Michaela Jill Murphy (Toph's voice actor in the animated series), which led fans to question, does Aryan have a role on Netflix's Avatar, too?
Unfortunately, as much as fans could hope to see the Grover actor star in another beloved live-action adaptation, Simhadri has yet to confirm if he appears on Avatar: The Last Airbender.
However, it seems he won't, as his name doesn't seem to appear on the full list of the cast and crew for the upcoming Netflix series.
However, it is worth mentioning that he is close with the Ty Lee actress Momona Tamada, which might explain why he went to the premiere in the first place – to support his friends.

As noted in the caption of his Instagram post, he wished Momona "Congrats" by specifically tagging her while sending the same message to her fellow cast and crew.
This is not the first time that Simhadri has shown up to an event to support his friend.
He and his Percy Jackson co-star (Walker Scobell), who is also good friends with Momona, admitted on The Direct that she would "make a pretty cool Thalia" on Rick Riordan's series.
"She's got kind of that punk feel about—she's played characters like that before. And she's also just an incredible actress," Simhadri added, "I think she could handle that kind of pressure."
Momona Tamada, best known for her roles in the To All the Boys I've Loved Before franchise and The Baby-Sitters Club, will be depicting the live-action version of Ty Lee, the energetic acrobat who is close friends with Princess Azula and Mai in the Fire Nation.
We'll get to see more of Momona's role once the live adaptation of the Avatar: The Last Airbender series premieres on Netflix on February 22.
