Yes, yes... We know that Dwayne Johnson, Zac Efron and the rest of the Baywatch cast have been regularly updating their various social media accounts with imagery from the film as it shoots. But now arrives the first studio-mandated official picture of the gang, which you can find above.

With the film just wrapped (as celebrated by Johnson on Instagram), director Seth Gordon and his team moves into the post-production phase, honing the gags and the action beats into shape ready for next summer's release.

Baywatch, which updates the beach-set lifeguard series that captivated people in the 1990s, finds Johnson as a committed lifeguard who has to deal with the challenges of the beach and a cocky new recruit named Matt Brody (Efron). But they'll have to join forces if they want to stop a nefarious criminal conspiracy that threatens their patch.

Also in the cast are Alexandra Daddario, Kelly Rohrbach, Ilfenesh Hadera and Jon Bass, with Priyanka Chopra, who didn't get to join the line-up fun here, as the villainous Victoria Leeds. Oh, and you can expect a cameo from one David Hasselhoff, because it wouldn't be Baywatch otherwise. The film itself is out in the UK on May 12. The postcard version of the image is sitting below.
