Netflix is further expanding its library of spy thrillers and the newest one in the pipeline is Carry On, produced by Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment and starring Kingsman’s Taron Egerton.
The movie will be directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, who helmed projects such as The Shallows, Unknown, Jungle Cruise, and Black Adam, both starring Dwayne Johnson.
