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).

As Billy goes through his student life, he discovers the Book of Eternity in the Rock of Eternity that Wizard had just acquired from Zatanna. Billy thinks he could use it to bring his parents back to life. Things are not that simple, and he ends up summoning Lady Blaze and Lord Satanus into our dimension. The two demons, seeking revenge against the Lord of Order who imprisoned them, agree to ally with Mister Mind, a Venusian worm wishing to invade Earth. Frightened by the plans of his sister and Mind, Satanus decides to bring Tawky Tawny, Mary's stuffed toy, to life, so he can help defeat the new duo. To defeat Lady Blaze and Mister Mind, Billy shares his powers with his sister and his best friend Freddy, while his uncle, claiming to have powers, and Tawky Tawny aid them in the confrontation. Wizard reveals to Billy that Blaze and Satanus are his own children, and that there is still good in Blaze. Billy must then make a choice: use the Book to bring his parents back to life or use it to save Lady Blaze and allow her to live with her father. Billy chooses to let his parents go, giving the Wizard a chance to make amends as a father. Post-credits scene: Wizard decides to make Mary Marvel his agent of Order.
