“Sweet Girl” is a thriller about a man who is trying to protect his daughter while bringing to justice the people responsible for his wife’s death.

Earlier this month, helicopters were spotted flying and hovering over the city as part of the filming. And crews filmed in PNC Park for three nights in November.

Momoa, who is known for his roles in “Aquaman” and “Game of Thrones,” has been seen around the area during the filming of the movie. In November he was on the sidelines of Steelers game. And in December he stopped at a Fayette County diner for breakfast.
