Not long after Taron Egerton provided a hopeful update about the future of the Kingsman franchise - refusing to rule out his return as Eggsy in another movie from Matthew Vaughn - the star is back with a new movie on Netflix that's topping the charts. Egerton stars alongside Jason Bateman in Carry-On, the action/holiday thriller that premiered on Netflix over the weekend and jumped to the top of the charts swiftly. The film follows a mysterious traveler who blackmails a young TSA agent into letting a dangerous package slip through security at the airport. To reach the #1 spot on Netflix where Carry-On currently resides, it had to pass It Ends With Us, the 2024 Colleen Hoover adaptation starring Blake Lively that was plagued with controversy. Carry-On has an 86% rating from critics and a 60% score from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes.

Carry-On was written by T.J. Fixman and directed by Jaume Collet-Serra. Fixman is a video game writer who is famous for his work on the Ratchet & Clank series, which he used to help write the 2016 Ratchet & Clank film that earned a 22% score from critics and a 40% rating from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. Carry-On was his first screenwriting job in eight years since writing Ratchet & Clank, and he's also been tapped as the writer on Past Midnight, a superhero action film directed by Rick Famuyiwa. As for Collet-Serra, before Carry-On, he most recently directed Black Adam, the Dwayne Johnson-led DCEU film, and he also worked with The Rock the year prior on Jungle Cruise. Collet-Serra is also known for his work with Liam Neeson on the 2011 action film Unknown and later in the 2014 thriller Non-Stop.
