Across the weekend, select celebrities will take part in panels. This includes the ‘To Me My X-Men: The X-Men Voice Actor Panel,’ which given by the name will see the cast sit down and speak about returning to the beloved animated series on March 15th. The panel will be hosted and moderated by The Movie Podcast team.
Canadian icon Mona from the kids series Nanalan will so be attending the convention, in partnership with Retrokid. As part of the latest launch of merch, the Nanalan team, including Canadian puppeteers Jason Hopley and Jamie Shannon, will be attending Retrokid’s booth where attendees can take pictures of Canada’s ‘wonderful girl’. For the uninitiated, 25 years since debuting on Canadian television, Nanalan has seen an enormous rise in popularity thanks to a series of viral videos. A Nanalan panel dubbed ‘The Magic of Nanalan’ is also being held on March 16th.
Aside from celebrity appearances, Toronto Comicon 2024 has a loaded schedule full of activities attendees can take part in. For instance, on March 15th, there are some cosplay meet-ups. Each one has a theme ranging from Disney to Marvel and even Harry Potter. Cosplayers are invited to gather, meet each other, and take photos as a group for fans.
On top of all of this excitement, Toronto Comicon hosts a sea of vendors and artists. Each year, local visionaries come and show off their phenomenal prints in Artist’s Alley. If you’re a collector of comics, games, or toys, there’s a high chance you may find your next treasure at the convention.
