Scott is known for his atmospheric and highly concentrated visual style and is among the highest-grossing directors.

It also stated that he is among the only nine directors ever to achieve this feat, including Christopher Nolan, David Yates, Michael Bay, Peter Jackson, Joe Russo, Anthony Russo, and Steven Spielberg.
