Actor Taron Egerton Discusses Sequel Plans for Netflix's 'Carry-On' and Future Collaborations
Hollywood often churns out unnecessary sequels to successful movies, but some actors and filmmakers choose not to revisit a story that has already been told. One such example is Netflix's holiday action film "Carry-On," which pays homage to classic action movies like "Die Hard 2." The movie follows TSA officer Ethan Kopek, played by Taron Egerton, as he faces a dangerous situation at LAX airport. Despite its success on Netflix, Egerton has specific conditions for considering a sequel to "Carry-On."
In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Egerton expressed his admiration for director Jaume Collet-Serra and hinted at future collaborations. However, he made it clear that a sequel to "Carry-On" is not on the horizon. Egerton is cautious about the challenges and limitations that a sequel could present, showing a thoughtful approach to his career choices.
While Egerton does not completely rule out the possibility of returning for a sequel, he is focused on exploring new projects and avoiding the pitfalls of unnecessary sequels. His recent projects, including the critically acclaimed thriller "She Rides Shotgun" and the Apple TV+ series "Smoke," demonstrate his versatility and commitment to engaging storytelling. It's refreshing to see an actor like Egerton prioritize creative integrity over simply cashing in on past successes.
