The movie is being promoted as a "fantasy musical," instead of a normal biopic, the Telegraph reported.
"It's actually his songs used to express important beats in his life at emotional moments," Egerton told the Telegraph. "He's not the only character that sings. It's going to be fun."
Egerton starred as Eggsy in the “Kingsman” films. John appeared in the sequel “Kingsman: The Golden Circle” as himself.
Egerton is joined by Jamie Bell as John’s lyricist Bernie Taupin and Bryce Dallas Howard as John’s mother, Sheila Eileen.
John and his husband David Furnish are producing the film through their company Rocket Pictures, the Telegraph reported.
