Jon Bernthal is famous for roles like Frank Castle (The Punisher) in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Shane from The Walking Dead. However, some of his most intense action work isn’t in those projects. In fact, his most action-packed role yet is coming to Netflix soon. While he’s collaborated with renowned directors like Martin Scorsese, it was his work with Edgar Wright – known for his upcoming film The Running Man – that created a modern action favorite: Baby Driver. And now, you’ll be able to stream it!
Get ready to stream Baby Driver on Netflix starting November 1st! This critically acclaimed action movie from director Edgar Wright features Ansel Elgort as Baby, a talented getaway driver. The film also boasts a fantastic supporting cast including Lily James, Jon Hamm, Jamie Foxx, Kevin Spacey, Jon Bernthal, and more. If you’re curious about the story beyond that, here’s the official synopsis:
Baby is a skilled getaway driver who uses music to stay focused and excel at his job. When he falls for a woman, he hopes to leave his life of crime behind. However, he’s forced to work for a dangerous crime boss, and a risky heist puts everything – his life, his new love, and his freedom – in jeopardy.

‘Baby Driver’ Blends Classic Action With Edgar Wright Goodness
Sony Pictures Releasing
Edgar Wright, like directors such as Wes Anderson and Quentin Tarantino, has a very distinct style. He’s known for his unique visual choices, but especially for how he uses music and editing together. This technique is present throughout his films—think of the zombie fight set to Queen in Shaun of the Dead—and it really shines in the action sequences of Baby Driver.
Despite the fast-paced editing and visual effects, the impressive choreography and stunts still shine through. The film expertly blends exciting action with meaningful content. Driver (and his stunt double, Ansel Elgort) performs incredible feats, all filmed practically. Then, director Edgar Wright enhances these moments in post-production with his distinctive editing style and precise use of music.
