Tom Hardy and Guy Ritchie looked serious while filming scenes for their upcoming crime drama The Associate in London on Saturday.
Written by Ronan Bennett, The Associate is executive produced by the Venom star, 47, with some episodes directed by gangster filmmaker Guy.
In the stills from the new scenes, Tom and Guy reached a compromise and managed to include their favorite car brands in the shots.
Guy, a loyal Range Rover fan, and Tom, an Audi enthusiast, ensured that both luxury vehicles took center stage: the director arrived in a stylish Range Rover, while the actor got behind the wheel of a Audi.
In other snaps, Tom was seen leaving a building with the sign ‘Moody’s Boxing Gym’.
Plans for Ronan and Guy’s new series were first revealed this year, with the Lock Stock director also signing Helen Mirren and Pierce Brosnan to star.
The synopsis says it will follow the story of “two generations of gangsters, the businesses they run, the complex relationships they forge and the man they turn to to solve their problems.”
It comes after thieves managed to escape with camera equipment from the film set, while production crew and security were on location in London.
In November it was reported that two men in a Toyota Prius distracted people by asking directions before speeding away with the expensive equipment.
Speaking about the incident, a source said the sun: ‘His questions distracted people and at that moment, the other guy jumped out and grabbed a bag of photographic equipment that was on the side of the road.

“He got into the car and they sped away. The security guards started going crazy because they had basically been robbed in broad daylight. It was a rather embarrassing and costly mistake. The equipment for those films is not cheap.
And in December, it was revealed that Tom recently offered to pay the salaries of the entire TV crew of Guy Ritchie’s new series after a construction company went into liquidation.
But around 50 self-employed construction workers were left devastated after Helix 3D, the construction company hired to build sets, went bankrupt, The Times reported.
The company is said to have then refused to pay £250,000 in wages before Christmas, with its chief executive Brian Dowling sending the devastating message last week saying his salary would probably not be in its accounts before the New Year.
It wasn’t until star Tom intervened and offered to pay the workers’ salaries that Paramount resolved the situation and set about getting their paychecks in order.
A TA source close to Tom told him The times: ‘He offered to (pay), but the production and Paramount arranged the payment.’
Plans for Ronan and Guy’s new series were first revealed this year, with the Lock Stock director also signing Helen Mirren and Pierce Brosnan to star alongside Tom.
The gangster drama’s actors are seen floating outside the boxing gym as the cast film scenes.

Meanwhile, a Paramount source said they were “outraged” by the situation and that there were plans to ensure workers were paid.
In a letter seen by the publication, broadcast union Bectu organizer Chris Hudson said: “Our members deserve to be treated with dignity and respect and compensated on time for their work.”
‘It is totally unacceptable that they are facing significant financial precariousness, especially before Christmas.
“At this time of Christmas, our members are rightly very distressed and many fear they will not be able to meet their needs.”
