Tom has been in Queensland on-and-off since July filming sequel Thor: Ragnarok, where he will reprise his role as Thor's evil adopted brother Loki.

Working alongside the very buff Chris Hemsworth, it seems Tom is making sure he can keep up, both in the fight scenes and on screen.

The 35-year-old showed off his lean legs in black shorts, while the outline of his buff torso was visible underneath his tight black T-shirt.

Sporting black fingerless gloves on both his hands suggests the Night Manager star may have been taking part in a boxing session at the gym or perhaps weightlifting, which he has previously mentioned is part of his routine.

As he left, he clutched his phone, keys and wallet, as well as a scrunched up grey hoodie and a maroon coloured book.

The Emmy-nominated actor is often touted as the next James Bond, however earlier this week, 007 producers confirmed Daniel Craig was still their first choice for the role.

First choice: Bond producer Callum McDougall told BBC Radio 4's Today programme last week that the 007 producers are still hoping Daniel Craig continues with the spy role in the next film

Speaking about casting for the next movie in the franchise, Callum McDougall told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: 'We love Daniel, we would love Daniel to return as Bond.

'Without any question, he is absolutely Barbara Broccoli and Michael Wilson's first choice and I know they are hoping for him to come back.' 

Meanwhile, as Tom focuses firmly on his career post break-up, Taylor Swift has largely gone to ground during her time off after her recent 1989 tour.
