Edgar Howard Wright (born 18 April 1974) is an English filmmaker. He is known for his fast-paced and kinetic, satirical genre films, which feature extensive utilisation of expressive popular music, Steadicam tracking shots, dolly zooms and a signature editing style that includes transitions, whip pans and wipes. He first made independent short films before making his first feature film, A Fistful of Fingers, in 1995. Wright created and directed the comedy series Asylum in 1996, written with David Walliams. After directing several other television shows, Wright directed the sitcom Spaced (1999–2001), which aired for two series and starred frequent collaborators Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. In 2004, Wright directed the zombie comedy Shaun of the Dead, starring Pegg and Frost, the first film in Wright's Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy. The film was co-written with Pegg—as were the next two entries in the trilogy, the buddy cop film Hot Fuzz (2007) and the science fiction comedy The World's End (2013). In 2010, Wright co-wrote and directed the action comedy film Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, an adaptation of the graphic novel series. Along with Joe Cornish and Steven Moffat, he adapted The Adventures of Tintin (2011) for Steven Spielberg. Wright and Cornish co-wrote the screenplay for the Marvel Cinematic Universe film Ant-Man in 2015, which Wright intended to direct but abandoned, citing creative differences. He has also written and directed the action film Baby Driver (2017), the documentary The Sparks Brothers, and the psychological horror film Last Night in Soho (both 2021).

Late 1960's. Dr. Hank Pym has discovered a rare group of sub-atomic particles and used them in two formulas. When he tests them on himself, he finds out that he can become smaller and return to his normal size at will, giving birth to a new hero, Ant-Man. Dr. Vernon van Dyne asks him for help for finding extraterrestial life. Pym refuses at first, but after meeting Vernon's daughter, Janet, decides to help him. The research goes terribly wrong when Vernon gets killed in an accident, caused by Elihas Starr, a rival of both Pym and VanDyne. Janet asks Hank for help to avenge his father. So he gives her some of the formulas he's created, along with a winged suit, giving birth to The Wasp.
