One of the most creative minds behind the camera in Hollywood right now is none other than United Kingdom native Edgar Wright. His most recent and arguably most beloved fan-favorite movie to date is the 2017 action-comedy Baby Driver, which earned three Oscar nominations and, most notably, the Best Actor Golden Globe nod for the movie's star, Ansel Elgort.

In subtle ways, Baby Driver borrows classic elements from the typical superhero and comic book movie genre formulas and resonated with audiences for that reason. While Wright is unlikely to craft a superhero movie of his own after his first foray into the MCU didn't go too well, there are at least some comic book movies worth recommending in the vein of an Edgar Wright movie like Baby Driver.

10 Ant-Man

Anyone hoping to see Edgar Wright dive headfirst into superhero moviemaking himself may look no further than Ant-Man. Well, sort of. While Wright did originally sign on as the movie's director, wrote the script, and spent eight years trying to keep the project alive, he left the production midway and was replaced due to creative differences. "I wanted to make a Marvel movie but I don’t think they really wanted to make an Edgar Wright movie," he summarized to Collider.

Be that as it may, there are still enough of Wright's fingerprints littered across the movie that fans of his work should still enjoy this one.

9 Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World

While Ant-Man— at least the parts that did manage to make their way into the movie— did wind up being Edgar Wright's first superhero movie, it was far from his first time filming a comic book adaptation.

The first time was Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, starring Michael Cera as the titular title character and Mary Elizabeth Winstead as his love interest. Then, there are notable superhero faces like Brandon Routh, Chris Evans, and Brie Larsen playing other parts in this near-perfect panel to screen adaptation of the classic Bryan Lee O'Malley graphic novel series.

8 Ghost World

Speaking of Scott Pilgrim, when listing out the 50 Best Comic Book Movies with Time Out, Wright had noted that when he filmed Scott Pilgrim, he took a "roughly equidistant [approach] between Ghost World and X-Men, which for a studio film is completely bananas."

Although very low key compared to Baby Driver, Ghost World embodies the more quiet, softer moments between humans in Baby Driver that made the characters in that movie so memorable. The same works for the cast contained in this Terry Zwigoff adaptation of Daniel Clowes' work, which included future MCU Avenger player Scarlett Johansson.

7 Akira

In that same Time Out list article, Wright also mentioned he was a fan of the classic anime movie Akira. This might be cheating for those who debate whether a manga belongs in the comic book family as a similar entity, but if nothing else, Wright does name drop Akira in the same breath he mentioned borrowing elements of Japanese animation for filming Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.

Even better, for those who loved the chase sequences in Baby Driver, readers can look forward to an equally memorable bike chase if they watch Akira.

6 Speed Racer

In the same way that Edgar Wright was able to perfectly lift Scott Pilgrim's colorful and animated imagery off the page and onto the screen for his movie, Speed Racer perfectly duplicated the lighthearted tone and snappy action— a snappiness similar to Baby Driver's own action and dialogue— as it was seen in the classic animated show and preceding manga.

Not to mention that anyone dying for another comic book or action movie with high-speed car chases would have their appetites whet by this cult classic from Matrix masterminds The Wachowskis.

5 The Rocketeer

This one is specifically for those whose favorite aspect of Baby Driver was the romance. There's plenty of that in this underrated cult classic, that serves as a part-Indiana Jones throwback adventure and a part tribute to classic old school black and white romantic comedies.

In general, there is a very classy feel to The Rocketeer as it borrows elements from classic movies, but above all else, the romance between lead actor Billy Campbell and love interest Jennifer Connelly sticks with audiences as much as Ansel Elgort's onscreen relationship with Lily James.

4 Mystery Men

With Baby Driver being laced with snappy, memorable dialogue and clever lines that will have viewers spewing their favorite quotes by the time the credits roll, it fits in the same realm of something like Mystery Men.

Serving as both an adaptation of Bob Burden's Flaming Carrot Comics and a parody of the superhero movie genre that was just starting to kick off in 1999, Mystery Men hosts a cavalcade of familiar faces and a script by Hocus Pocus' Neil Cuthbert with enough one-liners to make anyone's head spin.

3 Tank Girl

From one oft-forgotten cult classic to another, and from the need for speed from cars to that of a tank, director Rachel Talalay delivered Tank Girl in 1995, adapting Alan Martin and Jamie Hewlett's comic series of the same name to do so.

While it is a lot sillier than Baby Driver, it does at least have just as many colorful, eccentric characters and super soldiers in its cast while also sporting a jam-packed amount of action scenes.

2 Kick-Ass

If there is only one thing that the Edgar Wright-directed flick and this Mark Millar adapted movie have in common, it is that both movies are filled with lighthearted fun but still manage to be dark enough to earn their R rating.

By comparison, between Baby Driver and Kick-Ass, the latter is definitely darker, bloodier, and in more need of a content warning. However, when it comes to just being fun-filled thrill rides, both more or less sit in the exact same boat in regards to tone.

1 Spider-Man: Homecoming

Yes, both Baby Driver and Spider-Man: Homecoming share that lighthearted fun factor in their style and tone, but at their core, both movies also share the same theme: Self-discovery.

Baby is on a journey to discovering that there is more to life than just being a robbery getaway driver and that there's possibly love in his future. Peter is on a journey to discovering he's more than just a suit and doesn't the help of a suit or anyone else to be a hero. Neither expected to be where they are in the end, but by the climactic finish, both end up exactly where they need to be.
