Egerton played the series’ leading character Gary “Eggsy” Unwin, a James Bond-like spy who works for a secret service, in both Kingsman and its sequel Kingsman: The Golden Circle.
Although the Kingsman series may have made Taron Egerton an international star, the actor will not be returning for the upcoming sequel.
Kingsman: The Golden Circle concluded with Eggsy marrying a princess, which many presumed meant the sequel would see the character awkwardly balance home-life and undercover work.
