Baby Driver's ending is a perfect concluding note for Edgar Wright's musically inclined crime-thriller, even if it leaves the door open for a potential follow-up. Taking place in Atlanta, Baby Driver focuses on the titular Baby. Played by Ansel Elgort, Baby is a gifted getaway driver who is frequently used by the crime lord Doc (played by Kevin Spacey) during his heists. Baby juggles these responsibilities with a budding romance to Debora (Lily James) and a desire to share his life with her outside the orbit of his criminal assignments. 5h5t1d

Wright and Pegg’s careers have been tightly knit ever since their first major collaboration in the cult TV series Spaced. From there, the pair went on to co-write all three instalments of the loosely connected Cornetto Trilogy: Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The World’s End. Wright directed all three, while Pegg starred in leading roles. The comedy trilogy was beloved by fans and critics, who praised the sharp wit in both in its script and in the filmmaking.

Director Edgar Wright has refused to watch Marvel’s Ant-Man and is justified in doing so. During press for his film Last Night In Soho, Wright revealed that he has not seen the MCU movie on purpose. Wright was originally set to direct the 2015 introductory film to the hero portrayed by Paul Rudd and had spent years working on the script. But early into production, Wright left the project over disagreements with Marvel about creative differences in how each wanted to make the film. Given this close connection to the material, and the acrimonious split, it's understandable that Wright has been reluctant to revisit someone else's version of the movie
