A part of the cast for the upcoming series Legend of Korra has been revealed in a blog post from the Wall Street Journal's Speakeasy blog. Many of the names are attached to characters whose names we have never heard before. Here's the list:

• Janet Varney as KORRA
• Kiernan Shipka as JINORA
• Daniel Dae Kim as HIROSHI SATO
• David Faustino as MAKO
• Seychelle Gabriel as ASAMI
• Lance Henriksen as LIEUTENANT
• P.J. Byrne as BOLIN
• J.K. Simmons as TENZIN

On the downside, this is the second article that has used the long title The Last Airbender: Legend of Korra - an unwelcome possible change of title considering its length and its association with a movie many fans did not enjoy. However, it should be considered that both articles were from the same blog, written by the same person - Christopher Farley.
