Taron Egerton landed himself another serious side role next to Kevin Spacey, Ansel Elgort, and Emma Roberts in the 2018 film Billionaire Boys Club, playing the role of Dean Karny, right-hand man to protagonist Joe Hunt (Ansel Elgort). Egerton's character also acts as narrator for the film.
The movie — which is actually based on a true story — follows Joe, Dean, and others as they bet it all in a get-rich-quick scheme that ends in bloody murder. Though it sounded like an interesting premise, the film eventually flopped in the box office. According to Mashable, the film was so poorly received that it made a stunningly-low $126 during its opening weekend; seriously, $126, no millions or thousands. Variety called it a "wanna-be Wolf of Wall Street." It also had the misfortune of casting Spacey just as his star was tarnished by allegations of sexual misconduct.
