 Tom, 54, was casually dressed in a black button down shirt, with the top two buttons left undone and the sleeves rolled up to just below the elbow.

He wore dark blue jeans and a pair of sunglasses.

Cobie, 34, brought some color to the photo call with a red and black dress.

The Canadian actress looked lovely in the pretty patterned number that had bold black shoulder straps and a black band at the waist.

 Tom and Cobie showcased their chemistry, laughing and sharing jokes together.

The actress plays Major Susan Turner in the film, heading up the military police unit that Tom's character Jack Reacher used to run.

The plot revolves around an accusation that Jack committed a murder 16 years prior.

'He's alone and he's sort of in his element and then he couples up with me and all hell breaks loose,' Cobie told ET back in June. 'We're on the run for this entire movie.'

The sequel is adapted from the series of novels by Lee Child and the first Jack Reacher film released in 2012 made $200 million.

It was shot almost entirely in New Orleans and the first teaser trailer debuted online on Monday.
