Natalie Portman has been in Australia since late last year to film Thor: Love and Thunder.

And while production has officially wrapped, she is still very much enjoying Sydney like a local.

On Saturday, the 40-year-old was spotted stepping out to a dry cleaner near one of the city's COVID-19 hotspots.

For her casual stroll, Natalie donned a pair of washed-out denim jeans, teamed with a white and red paisley-style shirt.

To accessorise, she donned black sunglasses and a tan coloured broad-brimmed hat with a black ribbon, and wore a mask over her face for health and safety reasons.

The Hollywood actress also added some designer flair to her outfit by carrying a black satchel by Christian Dior.

Natalie previously revealed her excitement at returning to the franchise during an interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. 

'It's going to be really silly and funny and great. We've got [director] Taika Waititi. He's wonderful, so I'm very excited,' she said.

Natalie was absent for 2017's Thor: Ragnarok, but was a key player in the first two Thor films, released in 2011 and 2013.

Thor: Love and Thunder is scheduled for cinematic release in February 2022.
