Watch Michael Cera Return to Edgar Wright’s World In New ‘Running Man’ Clip

When last we left Michael Cera in the world of Edgar Wright, he’d just defeated seven evil exes on the way to winning a woman’s heart as Scott Pilgrim. Fifteen years later, Cera is back, and this time, he defeats many, many more people on the way to winning many, many more hearts. And, now watch some of that behind-the-scenes magic, exclusively on io9.

On Tuesday, December 16, Edgar Wright’s The Running Man is coming to digital. It’s the Glen Powell action adaptation of the Stephen King novel, made famous by a very different 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger film. Case in point is Cera’s character. He’s a revolutionary who is fed up with the establishment and has made his home into a fun house of disasters that would make Kevin McCallister envious.

Below, in our exclusive clip from the special features, Cera talks about the role and reuniting with Wright after 2010’s Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.

That clip is just part of what is a rather incredible set of special features for the home release. Here’s the rundown, courtesy of the official press release.
