Did you catch this Logan Hill piece on James McAvoy at Vulture a couple days ago? The guy is a pretty straight shooter. A few clips:
...the actor makes no attempt to suck up to the geeks, noting that the filmmakers “don’t really care for the comic books, I don’t think.”
...
“I do a film like this because it fits in nicely with my structure. I won’t do another one like this for a while, but hopefully that ticks the box and keeps the career moving along. For lack of a better word, you don’t want to spunk it all early, so you try different genres and hopefully you can keep doing this when you’re 80.”
...
“We were not going to make $500 million on Wanted because it was R-rated because we said ‘fuck’ and ‘shit’ and killed a lot of people—and I got to hide behind Angelina in terms of marketing,” he says. “In Narnia, I was only playing a small part, so I didn’t really give a shit if it did well or not, because it wasn’t my fault. X-Men has got to work,” says McAvoy, who’s contractually obligated to be the face of the franchise. “I’m signed up for two more—if this one makes money. If it doesn’t, I’m sure we’ll be doing none more.”
