Felicity Jones, Tom Hanks in action in 'Inferno' stills

As the anticipation around Ron Howard directorial "Inferno" grows among fans, 20th Century Fox has released new stills from the film showing actors Tom Hanks and Felicity Jones in action.

One of the images provides a first look at Jones as Dr. Sienna Brooks, who is on the run alongside Hanks's character Robert Langdon, reports aceshowbiz.com.

There's also a glimpse of Langdon talking to Sidse Babett Knudsen's Dr. Elizabeth Sinskey in the middle of the night.

In another photograph, the symbologist is seen having a conversation with actor Irrfan Khan's character Harry Sims "The Provost".

Meanwhile, the last image shows Omar Sy as Christoph Bruder. However, Ben Foster, who is said to be the villain in the upcoming movie, is noticeably absent.

The filming for the project mostly took place in Venice, Italy.

The follow-up to "Angels & Demons" follows the Harvard symbologist as he finds a way to cope with memory loss. He teams up with Brooks, a doctor he hopes will help him recover his memories and prevent a madman from releasing a global plague connected to Dante's immortal tome.

The movie is based on the fourth instalment in Brown's book series, which started with "The Da Vinci Code", skipping the actual third book "The Lost Symbol".

"Inferno" is slated for a US release on October 14 next year.
