flag James Cameron clarified Matt Damon never got an offer for Avatar, debunking a myth about a lost $9.4B share.

flag Director James Cameron clarified in 2025 that Matt Damon was never offered a role or financial stake in the Avatar franchise, debunking Damon’s long-held belief that he missed a 10% share of its $9.4 billion earnings. flag Cameron said Damon declined due to scheduling conflicts with the Jason Bourne films, not a lost opportunity. flag The correction puts to rest a widely circulated myth, while the article notes other famous casting decisions—like Will Smith, Hugh Jackman, Claire Danes, and Jessica Simpson passing on major roles—many of which were also based on misunderstandings or personal choices rather than actual offers.
