McAvoy stated that payments for his other screen projects are small and sporadic, Variety reported. The actor noted that he receives occasional checks for a few hundred pounds, alongside payments as low as 25 cents that cost more to send by mail than to cash. [1]

The 2016 psychological horror film was written, directed, and produced by Shyamalan. McAvoy starred in the project alongside Anya Taylor-Joy and Betty Buckley. His wider filmography includes roles in Atonement, Speak No Evil, and X-Men: First Class. [1][7][9]
