Kit Harington chases Mark Wahlberg around the streets of London on the set of new Apple film Family Plan 2

Kit Harington pursued Mark Wahlberg around the streets of London on the set of their new Apple film The Family Plan 2 on Wednesday.

The Hollywood stars sH๏τ an action-packed scene in the side roads of the affluent area of Mayfair ahead of the movie’s release later this year.

Kit, 38, cut a determined figure as he hopped out of an Audi 4×4 and appeared to chase co-star Mark in the middle of the street.

The Game Of Thrones actor seemed to be in office attire, sporting a navy single-breasted suit over a light blue Oxford shirt.

The British star completed the look with some black leather boots and boasted a thick dark brown beard as he sH๏τ the scene.

Mark, 53, meanwhile, wore khaki chinos and a thin navy sweater, keeping warm with a navy Harrington jacket.

He added a pair of grey trainers with light blue strips and had his dark brown hair swept aside in a long haircut as he also appeared to be carrying a piece of paper.

American actress Michelle Monaghan was also spotted on set as she appeared to be scrambling around searching for something in an emerald green handbag.

The Mission: Impossible star, 48, donned a multi-coloured horizontal-striped t-shirt beneath a black leather jacket and added mid-blue skinny jeans and tan boots.

Mark is set to reprise his role as Dan Morgan, a car salesman who has to run away with his baffled family after his past as an undercover ᴀssᴀssin comes to light.

And it seems that Kit, not present in the original The Family Plan from 2023, is doing the chasing in the sequel, while Michelle returns as Dan’s wife.

The latest movie in the series will take place in Europe over the Christmas period and will see devoted family man Dan once again unable to leave his murky past behind.

Earlier this month, Mark, Kit and Michelle shut down London’s Whitehall as filming began for the sequel.

The actors were spotted shooting an intense action sequence on the top of a tinsel-decorated London bus near Downing Street.

In the scene, Kit was seen throttling Mark before holding Michelle’s character at knifepoint.

He then held a terrified Mark over the edge of the of the bus as they grappled on the top deck.

To accommodate the shoot, production secured permits to close sections of Whitehall, ensuring the safety of the cast, crew, and public.

The scenes were sH๏τ with famous London landmarks in view, including London’s Cenotaph.

The original movie was released in December 2023 to mostly negative reviews, but it proved to be a huge streaming success, premiering as the most-watched film on Apple TV+. 

‘I am beyond excited to step back into the shoes of Dan Morgan again, alongside my brilliant co-stars and with [director] Simon [Cellan Jones] and [writer] David [Coggeshall] returning,’ said producer and star Mark last October.

‘Making The Family Plan and seeing it become an instant success with global audiences in the way that it did has been incredibly rewarding.

‘We can’t wait to collaborate with our partners at Apple and Skydance again on this next chapter for the Morgan family as their European holiday inevitably goes awry.’

Director Simon added: ‘I’m thrilled to be back with the Morgans as they tear through Europe in search of the perfect action-packed family Christmas.’

It comes after Kit and Rose Leslie won a two-year battle for permission to overhaul their Tudor estate in Suffolk which risked being derailed by Britain’s commonest bat. 

They wanted to install new gates to protect their privacy at their £1.75million home in Brettenham, Suffolk.

But it was their plan to convert a 15th century barn on the 8.2acre estate into accommodation for guests which sparked an unfriendly response from planning officers concerned at the impact on a colony of bats already living there.

Ecological consultants had demanded ‘at least one bat emergence survey’ this summer after a ‘bat scoping ᴀssessment’ recorded 39 sightings of the protected common pipistrelle on three separate occasions in 2022.

But planning officers at Babergh District Council batted off concerns when the celebrity couple agreed to modify another nearby barn to become a ‘compensation roost’.

‘Ecology is satisfied that there is sufficient ecological information to determine the application, subject to conditions,’ officers wrote in their delegated report.

The couple who met on the set of the hit HBO series moved onto the estate in 2017 after the area was recommended to them by their friend Ed Sheeran.
