Lead actor Colin, 49, opted for a dark green three-piece suit along with a cream shirt and black shoes.

His luck appears to change when he meets Dao (Fela), a casino worker who harbours secrets of her own.

But Lord Doyle soon discovered he is being tracked by private investigator Cynthia Blithe (Tilda) which forces him to confront the past he has been running from. 

The film is Colin’s latest output since A Big Bold Beautiful Journey which was released last month in which he co-starred with Margot Robbie.

The actor told how he he relished the experience of working with the Barbie star.  

During a joint appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Colin explained: ‘You hear things through the years, ’cause as you know yourself, it’s a fairly small industry. 

‘So I met people through the years that worked with Margot … and they all, [men and women], said how extraordinary she was.

‘Not just it’s obvious that she’s an incredible actress, but how kind and fun and “one of the team” she is. Which is always a turn-on for me. … Straight up!’

Colin found working with Margot to be ‘really easy’.

The pair also posed for photos with their co-star Fala Chen who looked radiant in a cream strapless dress with a black striped train.

Margot, meanwhile, was similarly complimentary of her co-star.

The actress said: ‘I also have always heard things about Colin.Everyone talks about what a great guy he is — obviously I know he’s talented and all that…’

Margot revealed that one of her good friends told her Colin was the ‘most divine human being on the planet’.

She shared: ‘I have a lot of friends who are crew members — actually, two of my closest girlfriends have worked on a movie with Colin before as crew members. And they, too, were like, “He’s just the most divine human being on the planet.”‘

Margot recently revealed what drew her to the movie, describing A Big Bold Beautiful Journey as a ‘magical’ project.

The actress also confessed that the script ‘kept surprising’ her.
