Elizabeth appeared to be en route to the gym, donning a casual, workout friendly ensemble for her outing.

She sported a pale pink vest top and a pair of figure-hugging, patterned trousers, covering up with a navy zip-up top.

Elizabeth is currently in the midst of filming her role as villain Rita Repulsa in the upcoming Sabans Power Rangers live-action movie.

Earlier this month, People unveiled a first look at the character, played by the star, for the film which hits cinemas in March 2017.

The actress told the publication that this is her fist time to play a villain, and that she is 'looking forward to "world domination – and being unpredictable as a character'.

'It's definitely a modern and edgy re-imagining of the original Rita Repulsa,' she said.

The film, set for release March 2017, also stars Dacre Montgomery as Jason Lee Scott, the Red Ranger, Becky G as Trini, the Yellow Ranger, Ludi Lin as Zack, the Black Ranger, Naomi Scott as Kimberly Hart, the Pink Ranger, and RJ Cyler as Billy, the Blue Ranger.

Banks also hinted the overhauled Rita has been given 'a backstory that connects her to the new Rangers'.
