During a recent appearance on US talk show Today, Egerton said he would "be open" to returning for a sequel if the storyline was right.
"It's kind of like an extraordinary set of circumstances, so I think it would need a really innovative, creative idea to feel like a worthy idea for a sequel," he explained. "But yeah, why not."
