Tom Hanks is taking over the Steel City once again.

The two-time Academy Award winner is in Pittsburgh while filming “A Man Called Otto,” and has been making the rounds among the local set.

On Saturday, the beloved star of movies such as “Forest Gump,” “Saving Private Ryan” and “Philadelphia” spotted a wedding party at the Fairmont Pittsburgh, and rolled up on event photographer to request a photo with the bride.

Rachel Rowland told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that he said, “My name is Tom Hanks! Can I take a photo with the bride?”

“We all started screaming and were pretty much in shock,” she said.

The bride-to-be Grace Gwaltney was joined by her bridesmaids for photos with the A-lister.

“He was just as wonderful and charming as you’d assume,” Rowland told the outlet. “His wife, Rita [Wilson], was there and got in some photos, too.”

On Monday, the Hollywood power couple posed for pictures with employees of the Busy Beaver home improvement store.

“We were so honored to have Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson & the rest of the cast & crew film at our Lawrenceville, PA location today!”

Set for a December release, “A Man Called Otto,” the Marc Forster-helmed life affirming comedy is the second film adaptation of the international best-seller novel “A Man Called Ove” by Fredrik Backman.

In 2015, Hannes Holm directed the Swedish film version.

Also starring Mariana Treviño, Rachel Keller and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, the film about love and unexpected friendships began filming in February and is expected to wrap in May.

Hanks previously brought his star power to Pittsburgh to film the Fred Rogers biographical film “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood” in 2018.
