Star Wars star John Boyega is ready to play a role in Netflix's upcoming live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender TV series, should they ever decide to feature benders in Africa.

"When you lot are ready to have the benders in Africa explored let me know!" Boyega shared on Twitter, along with a short clip from the original animated series. Many of the commentators seemed to be excited at the prospect of Boyega joining Netflix's show, including Giancarlo Volpe, who directed multiple episodes of the animated series. "Hmmm this tweet implies John Boyega watched the original show and that makes me sorta excited," Volpe commented.

It hasn't been revealed what changes, if any, Netflix will make from the original Avatar story to their adaptation, so an expanded universe could be possible. Netflix's live-action adaptation of the popular Nickelodeon animated series has been in the works for a while now, though there have been no recent updates about its progress.

First releasing on Nickelodeon back in 2005, Avatar: The Last Airbender has had a resurgence in popularity thanks to Netflix recently adding the entire series to its catalog. The series finale premiered in 2008 and was followed by several comic book series as well as the sequel show The Legend of Korra.
