This year fans have the opportunity to get to know Mena Massoud, the lead actor in the latest Disney-produced Aladdin movie, Brandon Routh, who played Superman in the 2006 film Superman Returns or John Rhys Davies, giving life to Gimli in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Lots of thematic workshops
Comic Con has become the shrine of “geek culture” in all corners of the world. It is the place where pop culture spills all its secrets. Visitors can discover the behind-the-scenes of comic book creation, the art of storytelling, or video game development, in workshops led by top tier industry insiders including Renee Witterstaetter (Avengers, Spider-Man, She-Hulk, Superman), David Angelo Roman (Rick & Morty), or Bob Layton (Iron Man).
