Jason Momoa, girlfriend steal spotlight at Supergirl Premiere
Quick Read
Supergirl is part of the newly rebooted DC Universe and follows the release of Superman, which marked a major step in DC Studios’ new film direction.
Hollywood actor Jason Momoa and his girlfriend, Adria Arjona, drew attention on Thursday night as they attended the star-studded premiere of Supergirl in London.
Momoa, 46, who plays Lobo in the new DC Studios film, appeared on the red carpet with Arjona, 34, as the couple posed for photographs and shared affectionate moments before the cameras.
Arjona, known for her role in Hit Man, wore a red dress for the event, while Momoa appeared in a dark suit.
The film’s lead actress, Milly Alcock, also attracted attention at the premiere. The 26-year-old Australian actress, who plays Kara Zor-El, also known as Supergirl, stepped out in a white dress as she joined other cast members and filmmakers at the event.
Momoa was also joined by his children, Lola Iolani and Nakoa-Wolf, who posed with him for photographs.
Other cast and crew members present included Eve Ridley, Matthias Schoenaerts, Peter Safran and director Craig Gillespie.
Alcock’s appearance came amid recent online criticism over her casting as Supergirl. The actress, best known for her role in House of the Dragon, has previously said she is not allowing negative comments to affect her.
The criticism gained attention after former Superman actor Dean Cain reacted to a social media post mocking Alcock’s appearance. His response sparked backlash from fans, with many accusing him of encouraging unfair comments about the actress.
Cain later said he never called Alcock ugly, but his reaction continued to draw criticism online.
Alcock has also spoken about the pressure women face when taking on major roles in popular franchises. She said women in such spaces are often subjected to unnecessary comments about their appearance and bodies.
