Filmmaker and actor Edgar Wright is renowned for his contribution to British action, comedy and satire films. With titles such as Hot Fuzz, Baby Driver and Last Night in Soho in his repertoire, read on to discover where to stream every Edgar Wright movie in chronological order.
The young filmmaker started out with a string of independent short films, before he went on to write and direct his first feature, A Fistful of Fingers in 1995. Soon after this western comedy, Wright first worked with his frequent collaborators Simon Pegg and Nick Frost when he directed their two-season sitcom Spaced.
This partnership led to the creation of three action comedy movies, which have been affectionately dubbed “the Cornetto trilogy” by its cult fan following. Wright co-wrote the zombie comedy, Shaun of the Dead, with Pegg in 2004, before they reunited for the buddy cop comedy, Hot Fuzz in 2007 and the sci-fi film The World’s End in 2013. Alongside Pegg and Frost, the ensemble cast always featured prominent British stars such as Olivia Coleman, Martin Freeman, Bill Nighy, Jim Broadbent and Penelope Wilton.
All three satirical movies garnered widespread critical and commercial success, but it was the fast-paced, small-town police comedy, Hot Fuzz, that grossed the most at the box office, reaching $80 million on a $12 million budget.
Outside of this beloved trilogy, Wright has co-written and directed family-friendly titles such as Scott Pilgrim vs. the World and The Adventures of Tintin, which he co-wrote with Sherlock co-creator Steven Moffat and Joe Cornish for Steven Spielberg. Back in 2015, the acclaimed auteur also co-wrote the original screenplay for Marvel’s Ant-Man with Joe Cornish, which stars Paul Rudd in the titular role.
Since then, Wright has released other gripping action epics such as the immensely popular Baby Driver which was nominated for three Academy Awards, a Golden Globe and two BAFTAs. The Ansel Elgort-fronted film went on to dominate the box office on its humble budget of $34 million to gross over $226 million worldwide.
Wright’s most recent project is the psychological horror film, Last Night in Soho featuring Anya Taylor-Joy, Matt Smith and Terence Stamp. Unfortunately, it was released straight after the Covid-19 pandemic, when there were restrictions in place on cinema-goers which ultimately affected the box office revenue. However, it received positive reviews from critics and was nominated for two BAFTAs for Outstanding British Film and Best Sound.
With a plethora of action-packed films to choose from, here is every Edgar Wright movie in chronological order and where to stream them.
