6 Main Character Posters for Edgar Wright’s ‘The World’s End’ with Simon Pegg

Edgar Wright, like some other directors, has a cult-like following. Although his last film, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, wasn’t exactly like the others, it definitely fit his style. Those excited for his next movie have undoubtedly loved the premise and marketing for The World’s End.

Starring Simon Pegg (Star Trek Into Darkness), Nick Frost (Shaun of the Dead), and Martin Freeman (The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey), The World’s End is one of multiple apocalypse comedies coming out this year. It’s about a group of friends on a legendary pub crawl when the world actually begins to end.

The British comedy follows Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz in the “Cornetto Trilogy” by Wright, Pegg, and Frost. It’ll release in the U.S. on August 23, 2013. Below are six character posters introducing the guys (and one gal). For the rest of our coverage (including some trailers), click here. Enjoy!
