Tom Cruise and Hayley Atwell have been spotted filming scenes for Mission: Impossible 7 in Birmingham.
A large crowd gathered at Grand Central shopping centre, with the stars waving at their impromptu audience in between takes.
The Hollywood actor, 59, could be seen wearing a dark suit and sunglasses in the centre that had been transformed to look like Abu Dhabi airport.
As Captain America star Hayley, 39, wore flared jeans and a brown suede jacket.
Airport signs in Arabic had been hung up around the station, as well as a large promotional poster of an Abu Dhabi mosque, and a fake Dior store had been installed in the complex.
Cast members could also be seen dressed as cabin crew with extras wheeling around suitcases.

Tom has been in Birmingham for a few days and was pictured outside one of the city’s curry houses over the weekend.
According to restaurant Asha’s Instagram page, he enjoyed his chicken tikka masala so much that he ordered the curry for a second time after finishing his first serving.
The BBC also reported that the actor previously made use of a family’s garden nearby in Warwickshire as he flew into the region by helicopter while Coventry airport was temporarily closed.
Mission: Impossible 7 was one of the first high-profile Hollywood movies to announce a break in filming due to the pandemic in 2020, but production resumed in the UK several months ago.
