Meanwhile, Kingsman actor Egerton recently opened up about returning for a sequel to his record-breaking Netflix thriller Carry-On.
Speaking on US talk show Today, Egerton said he would "be open" to reprising the role of TSA agent Ethan Kopek if the storyline was good enough.
"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 said. "But yeah, why not."
