Regina King Joins 'Watchmen' Cast at Premiere Celebration!

Regina King is gorgeous in a gown while hitting the carpet at the premiere of her anticipated series Watchmen held at The Cinerama Dome on Monday (October 14) in Los Angeles.

The 48-year-old Oscar-winner was joined at the event by her co-stars Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Hong Chau, Tim Blake Nelson, Don Johnson, James Wolk, Dustin Ingram, Jean Smart, Andrew Howard and Tom Mison, as well as director Nicole Kassell and creator Damon Lindelof.

The upcoming television series is an adaptation of the beloved comic books, which served as the basis for a 2009 movie directed by Zack Snyder.

Set in an alternate history where masked vigilantes are treated as outlaws, Watchmen embraces the nostalgia of the original groundbreaking graphic novel of the same name while attempting to break new ground of its own.

Watchmen premieres on HBO on Sunday (October 20) – Watch the trailer here!

FYI: Regina King is wearing an Oscar de la Renta gown with BVLGARI jewelry.

HBO's 'Watchmen' Pilot Casts Regina King, Don Johnson, & More!

Regina King and Don Johnson will star in the upcoming Watchmen pilot for HBO!

Damon Lindelof is creating the new series and he previously worked with Regina on his show The Leftovers!

Also joining the cast are Tim Blake Nelson, Louis Gossett Jr., Adelaide Clemens, and Andrew Howard, according to Variety. No details about the characters have been announced yet.

Lindelof took to Instagram this week to tell fans about his vision for the series. It will not be a re-telling of the graphic novel, but instead tell a new story with new characters existing in the same universe.

“Some of the characters will be unknown,” he said. “New faces. New masks to cover them. We also intend to revisit the past century of Costumed Adventuring through a surprising yet familiar set of eyes…and it is here we will be taking our greatest risks.”
