Film and TV buffs will be pleased to hear there are a whole host of exclusives lined up for this year’s events, as well as celebrity guests from your favourite movies. This is where the fun begins… internationally renowned actor and producer famous for his roles in the Star Wars prequel trilogy, Jumper and upcoming Disney+ series Obi-Wan Kenobi, Hayden Christensen will be at MCM Birmingham Comic Con this year!

Whether you’re a Bruce Wayne with an inner Batman, or a Clark Kent but a Superman at heart, you can live out your alter-egos at Cosplay Central. Enjoy a fan meet with your favourite character at the casual Cosplay Showcase. Or for those who have spent months (or maybe even years with the pause on last year’s show!) handcrafting a beautiful cosplay costume, you’re in good company here! Show off your handiwork and reveal your cosplay masterpiece in front of an audience at the Cosplay Masquerades.
Gamers unite! Fulfil your gaming fix and climb the rankings in the Side Quest zone. Whether it’s retro gaming or modern consoles you are in to, enjoy free playing sessions or those in for the win can unleash your competitive side in tournaments. There will also be D&D sessions with dedicated DMs and a multitude of table-top games to sink your teeth into. Budding artists should enter the newly named Artist Alley (formerly Comic Village) to shop independent talented creators from all over the MCM Comic Con universe.
For foodies, K-pop and J-pop followers, and anime enthusiasts, Pop Asia is the place to be. With interactive experiences, gaming, local cultural partners, and anime and manga retailers – this is your own little anime convention!
