James Rocchi, writing for TheWrap, described Egerton as Gary “Eggsy” Unwin, a recruit for an espionage organization, as “a naturally magnetic personality with smarts behind his smile.” With the part, Egerton became well-known. In the same year, he starred in the crime movie Legend.

Egerton received a BAFTA Rising Star Award nomination for the 69th British Academy Film Awards in 2016. In the same year, he voiced Johnny, a passionate gorilla in the animated musical picture Sing, as well as ski-jumper Eddie the Eagle in the biographical sports film of the same name. In the following year’s Kingsman: The Golden Circle, a follow-up to Kingsman: The Secret Service, Egerton played Eggsy once more. It received a range of reviews from detractors.

Recognition (2019–present)

In the biographical musical film Rocketman, Egerton played musician Elton John. For the role, he picked up the piano, and while filming, he sang in each take live. Positive reviews followed the film’s May 2019 premiere, and the actor’s interpretation of John was praised.

Egerton “exerts a steadying, distinctively charismatic force” in the part, according to Ann Hornaday of The Washington Post, and Richard Lawson of Vanity Fair said that his performance was “nuanced and emotionally knowledgeable yet also loose, handled with verve and agility.” For his work, Egerton received the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy.

He was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media and a British Academy Film Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role for his contributions to the soundtrack of the movie. John’s autobiography, Me, was read aloud by Egerton the same year, and the two frequently appeared on stage together.

Egerton also provided the voices of Moomintroll and Rian for the animated shows Moominvalley and The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, respectively, in 2019. In the December 2021 release of Sing 2, he played Johnny once more. Egerton played the lead role in Mike Bartlett’s play Cock. The production, which was directed by Marianne Elliott and took place at the Ambassadors Theatre in the West End, was his first in that area.

Egerton left the show the next month for “personal reasons” after missing the opening night of performances in March 2022 due to fainting on stage and testing positive for COVID-19 later that month. While the production of Cock received mixed reviews, Egerton’s acting was praised. He is particularly moving in his romantic desperation, according to Arifa Akbar of The Guardian.

In the miniseries Black Bird, which was based on American heroin dealer Jimmy Keene’s autobiography In with the Devil, Egerton executive produced and played Keene. In July 2022, Apple TV+ hosted its debut. The A.V. Club’s Saloni Gajjar said of Egerton that he “aces Jimmy’s duality while flipping from being openly confident to secretly breaking down” in her review of the series.

Egerton will reprise his role as Eggsy in the fourth entry of the Kingsman film series and play businessman Henk Rogers in the biographical movie Tetris. He has been cast as the lead in the suspenseful movie Carry-On.
