We can never get enough of Toby Jones, so it's always a good day when we know he's landed a new role. The acting legend has been spotted filming in London's Notting Hill on new Netflix fantasy drama A Matter of Time.

The new movie follows an unlikely angel sent from heaven to convince a reclusive man to give up his life for the greater good. He agrees, only to discover a new lease on life and a romance that threatens to change the course of history.

Jones was spotted on set in a striking white suit, filming with co-stars Ben Stiller and Nicholas Galitzine. We don't know who is playing the man and who is the angel, but Jones and his the white suit could be a sign he's playing somebody angelic.

Maybe he's even playing God, which would be quite a change from playing Satan in Good Omens season three. Check out Jones on set below:

The movie has also been spotted filming a dramatic scene involving a crash between a car and a London bus, with Stiller and Galitzine's characters both involved. According to a letter sent to Camden residents where it was filmed, it's "central to the story" and "its emotional climax".

A Matter of Time is directed by Harry Bradbeer, who directed the first two Enola Holmes movies for Netflix, as well as episodes of Killing Eve and Fleabag. Justin Haythe, Madeleine George, Peter Byrne and Simon Beaufoy have written the script.
