Malaga City born actor- Antonio Banderas (sporting a beard and white coat) took part Wednesday  in the shooting of the film ‘Knockout’  by director Steven Soderbergh before an expectant crowd and many extras in the Reial Plaza of Barcelona.

The actor was with his co-star Gina Carano (of professional fighting) in the espionage film.

Soderbergh was seen in the morning near the Rambla del Raval, Ample street and George Orwell Plaza, sites that will also be shot.

Antonio Banderas, who since coming to Barcelona is used to roaming the city and has been seen in restaurants of the olympic port, reached the central square of Barcelona in a black minivan.

In the new film by Soderbergh, the Oscar-winning author of ‘Traffic’ (2000), Banderas heads an elite European unit that investigates Mallory Kane, the character played by nonprofessional actress Gina Carano.

‘Knockout’ has actors the  likes of Michael Douglas and Ewan McGregor, both of whom are not in the city these days because their scenes do not take place in the Catalan capital.
