Although Carry-On has just premiered on Netflix, Taron Egerton is already envisioning exciting possibilities for a potential sequel that could further develop the story and characters.

The recent release of Carry-On on Netflix has sparked discussions about the intriguing potential for a sequel. While Ethan Kopek’s storyline wrapped up several threads, it’s clear that there’s ample room for further exploration of his character and the overarching narrative. Fans are undoubtedly curious about the directions a sequel could take, especially regarding character development and plot twists that could elevate the story to new heights.

In a recent interview, lead actor Taron Egerton shared his insights regarding the future of Carry-On. He reflected on Ethan’s journey, emphasizing the character’s struggle with identity while navigating extraordinary challenges. Egerton stated, “I think the thing about Carry On is…he’s a guy who is not really sure of who he is and he’s thrust into these sort of extraordinary circumstances and he rises to the occasion. But he’s a bit lost, I think, in this movie and you kind of see him just struggling to keep up for most of the film. And at the end of the film, you see a guy who’s a bit more sure of himself. So I think if we were ever lucky enough to get a second bite of the apple, I’d probably want to see him be a little more…fully realized, a little bit more certain of himself.” This insight hints at a deeper, more confident version of Ethan that could resonate strongly with audiences.

Carry-On, often compared to the classic action film Die Hard, revolves around an engaging plot: “A young TSA agent fights to outsmart a mysterious traveler who blackmails him into letting a dangerous package slip onto a Christmas Eve flight.” When discussing the potential storyline for a sequel, Egerton graciously deferred to the creative talents of writer T.J. Fixman, acknowledging the complexities involved in crafting a compelling narrative. He remarked, “In terms of the story that you would do if you were lucky enough to get a sequel, that, I am thankful to say, is the burden of a better mind than mine because I don’t know how he made that work. But hey, let’s get this one out there first.” This reveals Egerton’s appreciation for collaborative storytelling and character development.

Despite mixed personal reviews, with our rating landing at 6/10, Carry-On has achieved an impressive 86% score on Rotten Tomatoes, indicating a positive reception among viewers. The film’s ability to engage audiences and its potential for expansion into a franchise could pave the way for more thrilling adventures, capturing the essence of the original while exploring new themes and challenges.
