A screenshot of James McAvoy, in Split. He is sitting on the left side of the screen, staring into the camera with a creepy expression on his face. His head is nearly bald, with some shaved black stubble on the back of his head. He wears a yellow and black winter jacket. He is in some old garage or shed or basement, with a doorway in the background and a shelf with stuff on it, like paint cans, is visible in the right foreground.
