THREE of James McAvoy’s upcoming projects are heading into the American Film Market from Nov 10th - 15th in LA.
These projects will be pitched to buyers:
- CONTROL
- ALMOST YOU
- Untitled Armando Iannucci film
Stay tuned for more updates about these projects!✨
James McAvoy starred in Wanted with Angelina Jolie. It made $342,000,000 worldwide. He says some of his residual checks now come in at 25 cents.
"It literally costs more to post this than it did for me to check it, cash it," he says.
In the video below, McAvoy tells Josh Horowitz the one movie that still pays him. It's not the one you'd guess.
The one that keeps paying is Split. He says it was made "for like $6 million or something." Box Office Mojo lists $9,000,000.
It opened to $40,000,000 in North America and made $278,000,000 worldwide. So his first residual check came "at the end of the first weekend," he says.
Wanted cost $75,000,000 and made $342,000,000. "I don't get too much money from, from Wanted," he says.
Now he's directing. His first film, California Schemin', had "3 million, three-ish million," he says. That bought a five-week shoot. 25 days.
He says he made Last King of Scotland for the same 3 million and shot for 10 weeks in foreign countries.
When the money ran short, he told his producers he'd do whatever it took to get it. Even "kiss someone's ass."
"I didn't need to give any sexual favors in the end, which is brilliant," he says.
California Schemin' has made about $720,000 worldwide, per The Numbers.
The case for the studios: McAvoy got paid up front for Wanted, hit or flop. Back end money only shows up when a movie turns a profit on paper. Split did that in one weekend, he says. Most movies never do.
So should actors get a cut of every hit they're in, or is the up-front check the whole deal?
All the top DILFs 2026(and probably the last one) names rankings, from 27449 votes cast between October 2st and 16th. The names outside the top 100 ranked by Google Forms were counted and ranked using Python.
[1-82]
And the long-awaited and beloved TOP DILFS OF THE YEAR has come to an end! The graphic representation thus had more than 27 thousand voters, remembering that voting was limited to one vote by email and could choose more than one dilf.
At 13:00 UTC we will post the complete list with the votes of each of the 427 competitors, as the form limits the graphical result to 100 names.
James McAvoy, Alicia Vikander and Taron Egerton are attached to a conspiracy thriller written and directed by Armando Iannucci. Kevin Loader is producing, with FilmNation and UTA handling sales ahead of the American Film Market. The project’s title and plot remain undisclosed.

Remember when Patrick Stewart watched James McAvoy shave his head for PROFESSOR X in X-MEN: APOCALYPSE (2016)? McAvoy later described it as Stewart “handing the baton over.”
Taron Egerton, James McAvoy and Alicia Vikander have been cast in ‘Veep’ creator Armando Iannucci's new film.
The film has been described as a conspiracy thriller.

Mark Millar was the writer, along with J.G. Jones, of the graphic comic book series that the film "Wanted" was based. James McAvoy played Wesley in the 2008 hit, before playing Prof. X.
Just back from a week's holiday in Scotland with the kids where we bumped into Prof X himself, James McAvoy, with his family at the grab machine next to us in a Glasgow amusement arcade. I hadn't seen him in ages so it was great to catch up. Note: Neither of us got the toy!
