East London News A Force for the community…
MCM Comic Con is returning to East London. The UK’s largest pop culture event will be held at ExCeL on 26-28th October. Join thousands of cosplayers, movie buffs, comic fans, families, gamers, collectors and anime enthusiasts to meet special guests and see exclusive products.
Among MCM’s special guest line up at ExCel are WWE superstar-turned-Hollywood actor Dave Bautista, best known for playing Dax the Destroyer from the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise, and James Bond villain Mr Hinx. Paul Bettany, aka JARVIS and Vision from the Marvel Cinematic Universe films will also be meeting fans, alongside the cast from US supernatural TV series Shadowhunters.
Stars of popular Geek & Sundry web series Critical Role Matthew Mercer, Marisha Ray, Liam O’Brien, Sam Riegel, Taliesin Jaffe and Brian Foster will be going behind the scenes of their epic Dungeons & Dragons role-playing campaigns.
Starsky, Hutch and Huggy Bear – Paul Michael Glaser, David Soul and Antonio Fargas – will be bringing some ’70s swagger to the London show, and fans can experience some horror with MCM’s spooky guests Tony Todd (Candyman), Kane Hodder (horror icon Jason Voorhees), Katherine Isabelle (Ginger Snaps) and Ray Santiago (Ash vs. Evil Dead).
The Comic Village will host both home-grown talent and overseas stars as it puts the “comic” back in “comic con”.
Comic book legends and Eisner Award-winning comic writers Brian Azzarello and Frank Miller will both be meeting fans at MCM London following their recent collaboration on DC’s best-selling Dark Knight III: The Master Race, a nine-issue second sequel to Miller’s own The Dark Knight Returns.
As well as meeting guests and checking out the latest art from comic artists, fans can get interactive with some amazing activations and exclusive products on the show floor from major exhibitors including Hasbro, Cartoon Network, Funko, Universal Pictures, Bandai Namco, Build-A-Bear and Warner Bros.
Fans can also enjoy free panels and exclusive screenings across the whole weekend, with cast members, authors and directors; meet top UK influencers in CreatorScape; play the latest games in our GamingZone and compete or watch in the UK Championships of Cosplay.
