It's that time of year again! Convention season kicks off with C2E2 but of course doesn't stop there. Fan Expo Chicago kicks off in just a few hours over in Rosemont and if you haven't been since the pandemic, you might want to change that, as the guest list for this year's show is absolutely packed with celebs, artists and voice actors from just about every franchise on Earth.
Among those making the trip to Chicago for this are Mark Hamill, Rosario Dawson, Hayden Christensen, Matthew Lillard, Charlie Cox, Marisa Tomei, William Shatner, Kate Mulgrew, Alan Tudyk, Adam Savage, Sean Gunn, Cameron Monaghan, Robert Patrick, Lance Henriksen, Mario Lopez, Elizabeth Berkley, Patrick Warburton, Edward Furlong ... and believe it or not, there's quite a few more, to say nothing of the legendary artist and voice actor lineup.
Panels start at 4pm today when the convention opens to all ticket-holders, and we'll be on the floor searching for amazing cosplay and cool swag to take home.
If you're planning to head out today for Day One, keep in mind that Mark Hamill's panel is at 8pm and will likely fill up to capacity fast, so you'll want to be there early.
The full schedule and guest lineup can be found here, and an in-depth preview for those who want to plan ahead more is located here. See you out there, Chicago!
