Montreal Comiccon has revealed new star guests from 'Avatar: The Last Airbender'

Attendees will have the rare chance to engage with the stars at the Palais des congrès, where insights into the firebender's motivations and methods are sure to spark lively discussions.

Basco is no stranger to the limelight, with a career spanning several decades that includes an iconic roles in Hook and voice work in Star Wars: Rebels and The Legend of Korra. Meanwhile, Liu joins the Comiccon circuit with fresh acclaim from his roles in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and The Slumber Party.
