This was evident as the actress has not only skillfully portrayed the role of Suki in Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender, but also showcased her combat prowess in intense battle scenes.
However, fans of the character and the series might not be so delighted with Zhang as she shares how she had not even heard of the anime series before her audition. The All I Ever Wanted actress who played the role of the leader of the Kyoshi Warriors was embarrassed and fans might not take it on a positive note.
Maria Zhang Drops A Startling Revelation Following her Role of Suki in Avatar: The Last Airbender
Maria Zhang who acted as the brave leader of the Kyoshi’s has left a profound impact on the viewers of the show. Zhang’s character had assisted Aang and his friends on their journey across the titular Serpent’s Pass before returning to her other warriors.
The actress had outstanding chemistry with the cast members of the show but her chemistry with Ian Ousley’s Sokka stood out; viewers loved their fleeting yet enchanting romance in the series.
Needless to say, the fans of the series seek to watch more of her in the 2nd and 3rd seasons of the show. However, they might not be so happy with her as she shares how she had not even heard about the anime series prior to her audience.

The actress was present on The Wayne Ayers podcast, where Zhang shared her casting process and how it was like any other audition, where she figured out which role she would play in the series.
“It was just an audition like any other, I got sent the email and it was under a code name, of course, super secretive. And, I did figure out that it was Suki because the sides even though they weren’t actually from the show. They’re like dummy sides as they call it, should they left one line that was very specific to Suki.”
Following the audition, she shared how she had never seen the animated show, as she used to live in China, and she was somewhat embarrassed while sharing it.
She said,
“And I actually haven’t seen the show prior to the auditions since I grew up in China like I’ve never heard of it but um, I remember watching it to prep for the audition and you know, figuring out that I’m Suki because I just oh that lion ah that must be her.”
The announcement was indeed startling but fans do not hate her, as they left positive replies in the comment section of the podcast.
