Austin Butler took his Masters of the Air promotional tour to the 92nd Street Y in Manhattan’s Upper East Side on Wednesday for an advance screening and Q&A event.
The 32-year-old Oscar nominee reunited with his castmates Barry Keoghan, Callum Turner, executive producer Gary Goetzman, Anthony Boyle, and Nate Mann.
Austin portrays Eighth Air Force Major Gale Cleven in John Shiban and John Orloff’s critically-acclaimed, nine-episode WWII miniseries, and the two-episode premiere airs this Friday on Apple TV+.
The $300M-budget limited series – based on Donald L. Miller’s 2007 book – was executive produced by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg.
Butler – who’s a YSL brand ambassador – dressed his 6ft form in a black pin-stripe suit over a white button-up shirt sans necktie, and patent leather Oxfords selected by stylist Sandra Amador.

Groomer Amy Komorowski styled the Elvis actor’s wavy hair and made sure his complexion was red-carpet ready for the screening.
Austin – who’s been dating Kaia Gerber since 2021 – was joined outside the 92nd Street Y by a handsy mystery woman wearing a brown peacoat.
Butler’s companion was likely part of his publicity team as she hovered over him while he was signing autographs for waiting Big Apple fans.
The Golden Globe winner, ever the charmer, leaned in close to snap a cell phone picture with one grinning female admirer.
Hours earlier, Austin pre-taped his appearance on CBS’ The Late Show with Stephen Colbert along with fellow guest, Bob Marley: One Love star Kingsley Ben-Adir.
And Butler began his Wednesday morning bright and early beside his co-star Callum Turner for an appearance on NBC’s TODAY with Hoda & Jenna.
‘I finished Elvis. I had a week [where] I was bedridden recovering, and I flew to London and started this,’ the Anaheim-born blond recalled of the production schedule.
‘So it wasn’t a lot of time. Thankfully we had a bootcamp we went to that really set the foundation for all of us. It bonded us all.’

Austin said he felt an incredible responsibility to bring these real-life soldiers’ stories to life and ‘to do them justice and to bring it to the world with as much authenticity and care as possible’
Butler gushed: ‘At the Los Angeles premiere, we had the chance to meet – I don’t know – four or five of the veterans who actually flew in the 100th Bomb Group. It was incredible to get to spend some time with them’ (pictured January 10 with James Rasmussen and John Luckadoo)

The homeschooled millennial will also portray Paul Atreides’ (Timothée Chalamet) villainous rival Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen in Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi sequel Dune: Part Two, which hits US/UK theaters on March 1.
17-time Grammy winner Sting famously played Baron Vladimir Harkonnen’s youngest nephew/heir in David Lynch’s dismally-reviewed 1984 big-screen adaptation of the same 1965 Frank Herbert novel.
Austin will star as Benny in Jeff Nichols’ critically-acclaimed big-screen adaptation of Danny Lyon’s 1968 photo-book The Bikeriders, which hits US theaters June 21.
And last April, Butler signed on to produce and star as crime family boss Danny Ryan in a big-screen adaptation of Don Winslow’s 2022 novel City on Fire, which could potentially branch into a trilogy.
