From a quick look on some of the FB movie pages I follow, I think the main problem he'll have is certain people not being able to see past his Twilight movies which is incredibly unfair as he's done some really solid work since around 2012 (Cosmopolis, The Rover, Maps to the Stars and Life to name but a few), and has grown into a very watchable and versatile actor.
If he's given a decent script, I think he'll absolutely smash it.
