Kumail Nanjiani showed off his superhero arms as he stepped out with his wife Emily Gordon in Los Angeles this weekend.

The 42-year-old comic, who built up his current beefcake body for his upcoming Marvel film The Eternals, made sure to wear a face mask.

He slipped into a fitted tee that emphasized his musclebound figure and took the added precaution of putting on a pair of black gloves.

Getting some air: Kumail Nanjiani showed off his superhero arms as he stepped out with his wife Emily Gordon in Los Angeles this weekend

The Silicon Valley actor pulled on a pair of fashionably faded jeans and folded up the hems of his disease, accessorizing with a baseball cap.

Meanwhile Emily, with whom he co-wrote the movie The Big Sick based on their romance, kept herself cozy in a chic bomber jacket.

That day the Karachi-born comedian fired up his Twitter account to offer a glimpse into how he is staying entertained amid the coronavirus lockdowns.

‘Sometimes you’re watching a movie & thinking: “I’m watching one of my favorite movies for the first time right now,”‘ he said.

‘You’re already upset that you’ll never be able to watch this movie for the first time again. Yes, I just saw Portrait of a Lady on Fire,’ Kumail concluded.

Portrait Of A Lady On Fire is a French lesbian drama set during the ancien regime, from acclaimed filmmaker Celine Sciamma.

Kumail set the Internet ablaze when he debuted his Eternals body with a sizzling shirtless photo he posted to social media.

He thanked his wife ‘for putting up with me complaining and talking about only working out and dieting for the last year.’

The Eternals which stars Angelina Jolie and Salma Hayek and reunites Game Of Thrones hunks Richard Madden and Kit Harington.

Amid the various showbiz schedule changes brought about by the pandemic, its release date has been bumped from this November to next February.

I never thought I’d be one of those people who would post a thirsty shirtless, but I’ve worked way too hard for way too long so here we are. You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain. I found out a year ago I was going to be in Marvel’s Eternals and decided I wanted to transform how I looked. I would not have been able to do this if I didn’t have a full year with the best trainers and nutritionists paid for by the biggest studio in the world. I’m glad I look like this, but I also understand why I never did before. It would have been impossible without these resources and time. So big thanks to @grantrobertsfit who started working with me at the beginning of the year and made me understand true physical pain for months and months. Then, once we started shooting, a massive thanks to @davidhigginslondon and his team (@ellispartridge, @thebeardypt, @tomcheesemanfitness) for training me almost every day and making me strong, limber and injury free. I can almost touch my toes now. (And thank you for forcing me to do cheat meals David.) Matthews Street Catering for their delicious and healthy meals. And finally, the biggest thanks goes to @emilyvgordon for putting up with me complaining and talking about only working out and dieting for the last year. I promise I’ll be interesting again some day. #thirstyshirtless (Photo by @markupson.) (edit: I left off one very important person: @lancecallahan who trained me for 6 years and helped me build the foundation I could use to do this. Thank you!)
