In film, Coogan is known for parts in features such as the “Night at the Museum” franchise, the “Despicable Me” films, “Philomena,” and “Tropic Thunder.” In addition to starring in “Philomena,” he also co-wrote it and shared in its Academy Award nominations for best adapted screenplay and best picture. He and Rob Brydon have also aired multiple entries in their successful “The Trip” series, with the fifth entry — “The Trip to the Northern Lights” — being announced in summer 2025.

Coogan is represented by CAA and Independent Talent Group. Edwards is repped by Echo Lake Entertainment and Eaton Management.
