Edgar Wright is one of the most stylish action filmmakers working today, and with his recent movie Baby Driver grossing more than all his previous films combined, he's made it clear to studios that he'd be a perfect fit for a superhero movie in the right circumstances.

How Likely Is It?: Wright famously quit Ant-Man after working on the project for almost a decade because of Marvel's in-universe demands, so it's possible the amount of creative energy wasted on that project may have soured him on the genre.

While it'd be unlikely to see Wright working in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he could certainly end up hired to make a comic book film for another studio, likely a one-off that has no franchise requirements and would essentially give Wright free creative rein.

One day, there's a decent chance it'll happen. 6/10
