The Juno star explained that he is a big fan of Wright, whose past films include Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz.
Cera told NME: "I would have done anything with Edgar, I would've read it first, but I would have done almost anything."
The pair also spoke about the soundtrack for the film, in which bands like Beck and Metric prentend to be other musicians.
Wright said: "Beck writes the songs for Sex Bob-omb which is Michael Cera's band, but he's kind of writing Sex Bob-omb songs rather than writing new Beck songs.
"I think all of the artists, him and Metric and Broken Social Scene, had fun playing their respective roles."
