Most of his works –Atomic Blonde the films were not met with great critical and commercial acclaim. For example, in 2019 The dark phoenix it is the most poorly reviewed X-Men main franchise film, sits at a 22% approval rating, much lower than X-Men: Origins – WolverineIt's 38%. It also had one of the most disappointing box office returns, becoming the lowest grossing 20th Century Fox franchise with only $252.4 million worldwide on a $200 million budget.
Although some are better received than others, such as This is: Chapter Twowhich had mixed reviews but was a box office success, it's safe to say that McAvoy hasn't had a critical hit in a long time. By remaking the Don't Talk Badnot only that the film as a whole was well received by critics and viewers, but even those who were not optimistic about it praised McAvoy's performance as the best feature of the movie. Here's hoping that this renewed success for the actor will continue with the projects he's currently working on.
