Director James Cameron has publicly⁤ refuted actor Matt Damon’s claim that he was offered 10% of the profits from the “Avatar” franchise for the role of Jake Sully. The clarification came during a recent discussion ‍about the success of “Avatar: The Seed Bearer,” now playing in theaters.

Approximately two years ago, a video clip of Damon circulated online in which he stated Cameron offered him “10% of Avatar.” Damon suggested this would have resulted in a considerable financial windfall, given the film’s massive box ⁤office success. Dark Horizons reported on the initial claims and subsequent ⁣discussion.

Cameron explained the ⁢offer was not a percentage of the film’s overall profits, but a different arrangement tied to a specific point in the film’s financial performance. “it wasn’t 10% of everything,” Cameron stated. “It was 10% of his salary. He’d get 10% of the first $100 million⁣ the film made,which,at the time,seemed like a lot of ‍money.”

He continued, “But he was right to pass on it.It was a very arduous shoot, and he’s a very good actor. I’d love to work with him someday. But that never happened. It ⁢was a conflation of different things that were happening.”
