Fierce twelve-year-old Noah Ringer sports his best Aang attack in the first ever official pictures from M. Night Shyamalan’s Airbender (the name Avatar being taken).

The first photos of a shaved Aang and Zuko (played by Patel) are here. What do you think? For a better look check out USA Today. Will this satisfy the fans? Shyamalan has to be hoping so, since he’s planning on making a trilogy.
The release date is set for July 2, 2010.
