variety.comMarc Malkin Senior Editor, Culture and Events SPOILER ALERT: The following story and Q&A contains descriptions of several scenes and plotlines in “Carry-On.” In Netflix’s new action thriller “Carry-On,” Oscar nominee Taron Egerton plays Ethan, a hapless TSA agent who gets blackmailed by a mysterious traveler (Jason Bateman) into taking down a plane headed from LAX to JFK by allowing a bag filled with chemical weapon bombs to get through security.
