Netflix's Avatar: The Last Airbender: Who Is Playing Toph Beifong?

As a long-time fan of Avatar: The Last Airbender, I couldn’t help but feel an exhilarating mix of excitement and anticipation when Netflix announced the casting for Toph Beifong during this year’s Geeked Week. Having grown up with Aang, Katara, Sokka, and Toph, it’s a bit surreal to see their world coming to life on our screens, even more so when it comes to one of my personal favorites – the blind Earth Bender herself!


This year’s Netflix Geeked Week was bursting with excitement, not just about upcoming animated projects but also live-action adaptations of beloved animations. For instance, “One Piece” revealed its cast for the live-action Crocodile and Nico Robin in the second season, while “Avatar: The Last Airbender” made headlines too. Joe Manganiello and Lera Abova were confirmed for roles in the series, and we got a first glimpse of Toph Beifong. Moreover, Netflix confirmed the actress who will portray Toph Beifong in season two. After this earth-moving announcement, we at egmr.ru thought it would be interesting to explore more about this new addition to Team Aang.

If you’re not too acquainted with the storyline of ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’, Toph is an exceptional Earth Bender who happens to be blind. Yearning for freedom from her overly protective family, Toph finds her chance when Aang recruits her for his training. As Aang’s Earth Bending mentor, Toph demonstrates extraordinary skills, arguably making her the most skilled Earth Bender in history. Her abilities progress to an astounding level where she can even manipulate metal. Naturally, Avatar enthusiasts are eagerly waiting to see how this character will be portrayed in the upcoming Netflix live-action series.

Who Plays Toph?

During this year’s Geeked Week, it was revealed that young actress Miya Cech will be assuming the role. If you haven’t seen her previous work, she has notably appeared in the romantic comedy “Always Be My Maybe,” the Disney TV series “The Santa Clauses,” and Netflix’s “Beef.” She has also acted in “Young Rock,” “Are You Afraid of The Dark,” and other projects.

As a dedicated gamer, I can’t help but feel the excitement building up as I eagerly wait for the day when I finally get to see Cech step into his role. Netflix has kept quiet about the release date for the second season of Avatar: The Last Airbender, but production is underway on its live-action return. This time around, the focus will be heavily on the Earth Kingdom as Aang and his companions continue their fierce struggle against the Fire Nation. Fortunately, we know that a third season is already in the works, suggesting that Netflix intends to adapt the entire original animated series.

Toph’s Past, Present, And Future

In the initial animated show, Toph significantly enhanced her bending abilities, particularly metal bending, during the final episode as she battled Ozai and the Fire Nation forces. Later, in the subsequent series, The Legend of Korra, Toph reappeared, now an elderly woman, demonstrating a substantial growth in her powers since the original show. If you’re interested in exploring Toph’s post-Avatar: The Last Airbender escapades, you’ll be delighted to know that Toph Beifong’s Metalbending Academy, a Dark Horse comic series, was published in 2021. This comic follows the blind Earth Bender as she welcomes new students and shares her recent discoveries.

In 2026, fans can look forward to seeing Toph Beifong again, this time as an adult, in the Avatar Studios animated film “Aang: The Last Airbender”. Dionne Quan will lend her voice to the Earth Bender character, and she promises to be even stronger than we remembered from the original series. This much-anticipated movie is scheduled for a theater release on January 30th, 2026.
