She wore a long dark blue coat over a matching sweater, black pants and heavy leather boots as she walked the rain-soaked streets of the city. 

The actress was joined on set by co-star Jude Law, whose character has yet to be revealed. 

He was a late recruit to the thriller, signing up at the end of September.

The 44-year-old was also warmly dressed in a dark green army-style jacket teamed with a black sweater, black pants and heavy boots.

The pair didn’t appear to be filming scenes together but they hung out and chatted.

Also on set was actress Amira Ghazalla, who plays Alia Kaif. 

 The movie is based on the first of British author Mark Burnell’s four books in his best-selling Stephanie Patrick series. 

And his fans will know that Blake’s character is also a master of disguise.

Which explains why she was dressed as a disheveled blonde drug addict living rough in Dublin in scenes filmed in early November.

The action thriller centers on the grieving heroine whose family dies in a tragic plane crash on a flight she was meant to be on.

 But after the distraught protagonist discovers the crash was no accident, she embarks on a mission to avenge her family’s death.

 Fueled by revenge, Stephanie becomes a deadly assassin and sets out to track down the group responsible for putting a bomb aboard the plane.

The thriller is backed by the team behind James Bond team – Barbara Broccoli, who has produced the last eight 007 chapters, and Michael G. Wilson, via their Eon Productions banner.

 Barbara and Michael issued a statement on the project in July saying: ‘It is exciting for us to be working with the immensely talented team of director Reed Morano and actress Blake Lively, who have a strong vision for this very compelling story driven by a female protagonist.’

The Rhythm Section  is due out in the US on February 22, 2019.
