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).

Barry Allen, with Ted Kord and Ryan Choi, helps launch a mentorship program for young meta-humans. But when a violent surge of blue lightning erupts downtown, Barry races to the scene, finding Officers Eddie Thawne and Ralph Dibny facing a large storm. As Barry speeds into it, he's hurled into the Speed Force, vanishing. Meanwhile, Wally West trains two new recruits: 16-year-old Jessica Quick, a speedster born from a chemical storm, and 17-year-old Ronnie Raymond, fused with Dr. Martin Stein as Firestorm. They hear of Barry’s disappearance and rushes to investigate. Eddie recalls nothing—just blue lightning. Trapped in the vast emptiness of the Speed Force, Barry meets a mysterious figure: Savitar. He claims to be the Future Flash—an echo of the Barry who once tried to save his mother, then stopped himself. That discarded version of Barry was abandoned, forced to evolve. Now he’s returned. Barry awakens in a cell. Outside, Savitar impersonates him, creating chaos. As Ted, Ryan, Eddie, Jessie, Wally, Ralph, and Ronnie confront him, he warns their world is broken—and he's building a new one. Jessie and Wally attempt to disrupt the storm. In his cell, Barry phases through, racing to help. He finds Wally running at breakneck speed inside the storm. Savitar begins to unravel, destabilized by the paradox. Barry can't match Wally’s speed. He watches as Wally and Savitar vanish in the lightning. The storm fades. Barry falls to his knees, his friend gone, sacrificed to save the world.
