Sam Worthington’s big breakthrough was when he received the main role in the movie Avatar (2009). In that modern Pocahontas themed movie he plays the role of Jake Sully. Jake’s a paraplegic US Marine who gets the assignment to control an alien body called an avatar.
The film went on to become the highest-grossing film of all time, grossing more than $2.79 billion in box-office receipts worldwide, before being overtaken by Avengers: Endgame in 2019.
In 2012, Sam Worthington had another impressive role. He starred in ”Wrath of the Titans” (alongside Liam Neeson), the sequel to Clash of the Titans. In that movie he played once again the demigod and Son of Zeus, called Perseus.
