More than a decade ago when James Cameron came up with his own world of Avatars, people were shocked, amazed, and mindblown. Now, 13 years later when the director has come up with the second venture of the movie it has been received with the same applause and appreciation from the audience.
However, did you know James Cameron had offered Avatar’s lead role to Matt Damon before Sam Worthington but when he had rejected the role, it had gone to Sam? In an interview in 2019, as reported in FandomWire, Matt Damon had revealed that he regrets not doing a humongous project like Avatar as he was busy with his schedule with The Bourne Ultimatum. He even shared that the Titanic director had offered him a 10% of the movie but he wanted to start shooting during the post-production of the movie The Bourne Ultimatum. Saying that the post-production will “needed [him] to be around,” he rejected the offer.
