Cameron revealed that before choosing Sam Worthington for the role of Jake Sully in Avatar he l & # 39; 39 had apparently reduced to three potential main actors, Chris Evans and Channing Tatum being the other two.

Everyone acted in the same way on all elements of the scenario, except for the final speech in which he stood up and said, "This is our land, roll now, go as fast as the wind can you wear. "All that. I would have followed him in combat. And I would not have followed the other guys. Since then they have had a fantastic career and all that, but Sam was ready. He was ready.
