Taron Egerton is in discussions about playing Elton John in a film based on the classically trained singer-songwriter’s eventful life.
Egerton, who played Eddie ‘The Eagle’ Edwards in a movie last year and returns as the Cockney-lad spy in the much anticipated Kingsman sequel The Golden Circle in September, has been having informal conversations with Dexter Fletcher and Matthew Vaughn, the director and producer (respectively) of Rocketman.
It will explore the Oscar, Grammy, Olivier and Tony award-winning entertainer’s life in and out of the spotlight.
