Brad Pitt suited, booted and masked up on Wednesday for a special advance screening for his upcoming movie, Babylon.

The Bullet Train star was in the Big Apple for a Q&A being held at an AMC cinema, where he appeared alongside co-star Margot Robbie.

The pair take the lead in La La Land director Damien Chazelle’s lavish new project, set in 1920s Hollywood at the dawn of the sound era as silent films make the transition to the increasingly popular talkies.

Brad, 58, opted for a sharp dark brown suit for the event, which he paired with a crisp white shirt, dark plaid scarf, and dark aviator sunglasses.

He matched his suit with some suede boots and wore his hair swept off his face.

The actor, who is already busy researching for his next role, also got stuck in signing autographs for fans later that evening as he departed, donning a mask as he interacted with the large group of waiting people.

Margot, 32, was also stylish in loose jeans, an oversized blazer and maroon heels, sitting among co-stars including Jean Smart, Diego Calva and writer-director Chazelle.

Other members of the cast include Tobey Maguire, Olivia Wilde, Max Minghella, Lukas Haas, Eric Roberts, Li Jun Li and Katherine Waterston.

The first reactions to Babylon have emerged this week from critics on social media, with viewers so far divided.

Entertainment Weekly senior editor Joshua Rothkopft called it ‘uninsightful’ and claimed ‘everything was borrowed’ while Variety staffer Jazz Tangcay praised it as ‘phenomenal filmmaking’ as well as ‘extravagant, decadent and all together delightfully delicious’.

Other reactions included ‘truly monstrous’ and ‘an ambitious mess’.

Earlier this week, dad-of-six Brad was seen enjoying a Bono concert with long-time pals Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, accompanied by Ines de Ramon, which set tongues wagging.

She was previously married to Vampire Diaries’ star Paul Wesley, 40, before the couple confirmed their separation earlier this year.

Babylon will be released in cinemas on January 20, 2023.
