By showing that the movie is disappointing for himself, he said:

“I’m sorry about this film. It was a little bit sh*t, wasn’t it?”

However, Patel, who portrayed Prince Zuko in the film, expressed his regret about being part of the movie, he told The Guardian that it’s difficult to promote a movie that he feels bad and doesn’t believe. He stated:

“It’s hard promoting a film you didn’t enjoy and don’t fully believe in, and I felt bad. I felt sorry that I’d let these fans down because I was a big fan of the cartoon it was based on growing up.”

The 30-year-old actor also was interviewed by THR’s Actor Roundtable in 2016 and opened up on the movie:

“I completely felt overwhelmed by the experience. I felt like I wasn’t being heard.”
