Egerton went to talk about his experience with Tatum on set. He revealed that the actor was only on set for a short time.

"He was only around for a couple of weeks, he's such a great guy. He's such a great guy and he's brilliant in the movie. He'll be great," he said.

Tatum role in the film is yet to be disclosed but fans think he could be a CIA operative or an agent from the American counterpart of the Kingman organization. Tatum joins Jeff Bridges, Halle Berry, Elton John, Pablo Pascal and Julianne Moore in the film, Screen Rant reported.
