He popped into Pride and Provenance for lunch and, later, was seen again leaving The Piece Hall.

The historic venue has been shut for a week and transformed into a film set for the making of the six-part Marvel show, which will be screened on Disney Plus.

Other cast members are thought to include Kingsley Ben-Adir, Olivia Colman, Emilia Clarke, Killian Scott, Christopher McDonald and Carmen Ejogo.
