Simon Pegg's movie costume from The World's End on display...

There's been a lot of talk about director Edgar Wright's exit from Marvel's Ant-Man movie, but before he was focusing on the diminutive hero he was finishing his Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy of comedy movies, 2004's Shaun of the Dead, 2007's Hot Fuzz and 2013's The World's End, which starred Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.

After apocalyptic zombie and cop buddy action movies, the third installment was a science fiction comedy in which Simon Pegg played cocky loser, 'Gary King', on a pub crawl reunion with his old school friends where they come face to face with a robot invasion in their hometown of Newton Haven.

Guy Speranza was Costume Designer on the movie and you can see more original costumes and props from The World's End on display at the ArcLight Hollywood cinema when it was released in the USA.

This costume was photographed on display at Universal Studios Hollywood on April 15, 2014 and if you like this, be sure to take a look at the other cinematic treasures on display at the film and TV archive exhibit on my most recent visit.
