Natalie was seen furrowing her brow as she engaged in what appeared to be a serious-looking conversation.
Doing her best to fly under the radar, Natalie wore an all-black outfit consisting of a cap sleeve T-shirt, high-waisted jeans and sunglasses.
She swept her brunette locks into a low bun and painted her nails a bright red shade, while opting to go makeup-free.

It comes as Natalie prepares to begin filming Thor: Love And Thunder with Chris Hemsworth.
The flick will see Natalie’s character, astrophysicist Jane Foster, take up the mantle of Thor after transforming into a female version of the Norse god.

‘It’s going to be really silly and funny and great,’ Natalie recently said of the project.
Explaining how she was approached for the film , she told Entertainment Tonight last year: ‘They came to me with the idea and said, ‘We have this idea for you that was a storyline in some of the comics where Jane becomes Lady Thor,’ and I was like, ‘This is very exciting!”
Natalie appeared in 2011’s Thor and the 2013 sequel Thor: The Dark World alongside Chris Hemsworth, but skipped 2017’s Thor: Ragnarok.

While fans speculated about a schism between Portman and the MCU, her absence was purely plot-driven.
Explaining the situation in the same Entertainment Tonight interview, she said: ‘Obviously, I wasn’t written into [Thor: Ragnarok] because of where it took place’
‘It wasn’t really on Earth, and my character is on Earth,’ she explained.
