When it comes to the best-performing films in Hollywood, James Cameron seems to have a firm dominance in the top 5 spots, withTitanicand his two Avatar films. While the latter had been commercially well received, a lot of fans believe that the story worked because it took Sam Worthington as its lead, instead of Matt Damon, who was also offered the role of Jake Sully.
There is a section of the fandom that believes that Avatar was better off working with someone not as celebrated as Sam Worthington instead of a renowned actor like Matt Damon. This allowed audiences to get immersed in the world of Avatar without having Damon break the immersion with his star power.
Fans on Reddit are sure that not going with Matt Damon was the right choice for Avatar
Jake Sully’s character was offered to Matt Damon, who refused the role, and believed that that was the right course of action for the franchise. Given that Matt Damon was such a household name, the actor’s presence in the franchise would have detracted audiences from appreciating the immersive nature of the world created by James Cameron.
Fans are very passionate about the fact thatSam Worthingtontook up the role of Jake Sully. This allowed for the character to have some flaws, which also translated well into the CGI that Cameron developed.Matt Damonwould have been a little too perfect for the role, such that it would have been difficult for the thesis of the story to be communicated with Matt Damon’s acting chops.
