It's official: Tom Hardy is in the Queen City.

The actor is currently part of the cast for "The Bikeriders," a movie filming in Cincinnati this fall, along with Jodie Comer and Austin Butler. According to ProductionList.com, filming for the 1960s-set flick began Monday.

It appears Hardy is staying in fighting shape during his stay in Cincinnati. Early on Thursday, the British actor, who won the 2022 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Open Championship in England last month, posted a photo on his Instagram Story from inside Powell MMA and Fitness, a mixed martial arts gym in the West End.

Hardy posed with the gym's owner, Adam Powell, and thanked him in a caption.

Michael Shannon, Boyd Holbrook and Damon Herriman will also be featured in "The Bikeriders," directed by Jeff Nichols. According to Film Cincinnati, the film was inspired by Danny Lyon's 1967 photography book of the same name, and follows a '60s Midwestern motorcycle club "as it evolves over the course of a decade from a community for outsiders into a far more sinister gang."

There have been no local sightings of Butler, Comer or any other featured actors ‒ yet.
