How his role in My Son was completely improvised. When did he feel like he made it as an actor so he could pay rent just by acting? Since he starred in Children of Dune many years ago how excited is he for the new Dune movie? If someone has never seen anything he’s done what would he want them to watch? Watch what he had to say in the player above and below is exactly what we talked about.

In addition, we talked about what previous movie someone should watch if they had never seen his work before, why he’s excited for Denis Villeneuve adaption of Dune, the status of His Dark MaterialsSeason 3, and how he prepared to play someone with multiple personality disorder in both Split and Glass. During the interview he talked about why he agreed to make the movie even when his agents were nervous, how much information he was given before shooting began, what would happen when he made the wrong decision, how many takes and scenes had to be redone due to a focus issue or him making the wrong choice, the challenges of trying to improvise a fight, the big 3rd act, how he prepared for the movie when he had no idea what he’d be doing, and more. With the film now streaming for free on Peacock, I recently spoke to James McAvoy about making this unusual production. While this could easily have resulted in a disaster of a film, My Son absolutely works and you’d never know everything that happens wasn’t scripted in advance. Obviously, director Christian Carion knew where it was going as did the cast and crew, but when you watch McAvoy asking questions, nothing is scripted.

But what makes My Son so unique is that McAvoy was not given a script and had to react and improvise to each moment as it happened.

The film stars James McAvoy as a father who reunites with his ex-wife ( Claire Foy) to try and find answers after their seven-year-old son goes missing from a campsite in the Highlands of Scotland. Director Christian Carion’s My Son is the latest example. Every once in a while you see a movie that sounds like it will not work on paper but absolutely does.
