There are a lot of high-profile stars in the newest Avatar movie. Cameron’s former Titanic big name Kate Winslet plays a big role, and The Sopranos Edie Falco performs a supporting role, as does The Rock’s fellow Moana voice actor Jemaine Clement. But Johnson himself did not if truth be told appear anywhere on the computer-generated floor (and even below the sea) of Pandora.

It seems that many are mistaking two other actors in the movie for Johnson. One is New Zealand actor Cliff Curtis, who portrays Tonowari, the chief of the seaside-dwelling Metkayina clan. While Curtis and Johnson both percentage Polynesian ethnicity — Curtis is of Maori descent, and Johnson has Samoan heritage —neither actor would most likely be flawed as the different in real lifestyles. However, the intense CGI vital to make a human actor appear to be an alien Na’vi seems to have left some other folks not able to inform the two apart.

People can also be mistaking the Rock for one of the bad guys in The Way of Water. Of path, the personality continues to be closely CGI-ed. While some other folks aren’t seeing it, a smaller segment of “observant” fans appear to have unsuitable actor Matt Gerald, who plays Corporal Lyle Wainfleet, a member of Colonel Miles Quaritch’s recombinant strike team in the film. Once again, Gerald isn’t in point of fact any person you’d mistake for the virtually supernaturally swole Dwayne Johnson however put a lair of CGI on him after which placed on a couple of three-D glasses… and he type of seems like The Rock? A little bit?

There’s no telling why people are projecting The Rock onto planet pandora however there’s nonetheless lots of time for James Cameron to make it a truth. There are nonetheless two more (at least!) Avatar sequels to go.
