The film, largely shot in Northumberland, is set 30 years after the original and shows how humanity has adapted to survive. Posing for photos together on the red carpet, leading man Aaron and Sam looked as loved up as ever 15 years into their relationship.

'He was very intense and absolutely mind made-up (about us dating)' Sam reportedly told E News previously, while he said to The Sunday Independent: 'I'm an old soul and she's a young soul.' In 2017, Sam told the Hollywood Reporter: 'If I gave a second thought to other people, I would be the unhappiest person, probably still in a miserable marriage. People like to talk about it. 'I'm like, 'Yeah, but it works better than my last marriage'. It's lasted longer than a lot of my friends' marriages.' Aaron told The Telegraph in 2019 he 'knew instantly' she was his 'soulmate'.

I live my life to its fullest and I operate from my instincts and from my heart and I try to be as open as possible.' Elsewhere at the premiere Killing Eve star Jodie, 32, looked incredible in a silver floor-length gown, with moody dark eyeliner and her hair down.

Machine Gun Kelly sends fans into frenzy with sweet Megan Fox post
Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly split up shortly before their daughter was born, but now fans reckon they've rekindled their romance after the Aussie's latest post on Instagram Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox's fans are convinced they're back together after welcoming their daughter into the world in March. The rapper, 35, and actress, 38, split up shortly before Megan gave birth amid rumours the mum-of-four found 'material, which was upsetting' on MGK's phone. Neither Megan or MGK have made any comment on the split, but the Aussie did praise the Transformers star in his latest Instagram post in which he revealed the name of the couple's daughter. Posting a video of himself playing the ukulele - wearing a pair of striking yellow trousers - in which the top of a baby bouncer can be seen, he told fans the tot, called Saga, had both his and Megan's surnames, with the caption: "Saga Blade Fox-Baker." An hours later, MGK updated the post to include an emotional shoutout to the Transformers star, writing: "Saga Blade Fox-Baker — thank you for the ultimate gift, @meganfox." Responding to the post, fans of the proud parents said they thought the couple had reunited as one replied: "This is so sweet! They're definitely back together" while another shared: "I think it's back on between them. I hope so!" Meanwhile, a third mused: "I reckon they're back together. I hope it lasts this time." Megan reportedly called it off with the Aussie star in December, almost three years on from their engagement after finding 'upsetting material' on his phone. They were said to be holidaying in Colorado when things blew up between them with MGK reportedly leaving their swanky hotel in Vail, according to TMZ. The pair kept a low profile until Megan gave birth in March, with sources confirmed they would be co-parenting their daughter. However, last month things seemed to be back on between the pair, as MGK left an awards show early to look after Megan, who was sick. In May, the rapper ditched the American Music Awards to support his former partner when she fell ill with "a little bit of a fever". In a rare update, MGK told reporters that he was going to walk the carpet and quickly head off to be with his family, before sweetly stating that it was his 'purpose' to be a dad. Speaking to E News on the red carpet, the Bloody Valentine singer said: 'She has a little bit of a fever, so I'm gonna walk the carpet and go back, y'know, handle my business, give her my pheromones and let her heal up'. The on-off couple are said to have met properly for the first time in 2020 while both working on the film Midnight in the Switchgrass (2021), as reported by GQ magazine, after briefly meeting years earlier at a party. Megan said they "didn't hook up right away" after reconnecting on the film set, but went on to confirm her romance with MGK later that same year, after she appeared in the music video for his song, Bloody Valentine.
