Ready to totally geek out? Middle East Film & Comic Con is coming to Abu Dhabi, and it’s going to be out of this world.
If you consider yourself a Marvel master or sensei of the silver screen, block out March 2022 – because that’s when you’ll want to be in the capital for the latest edition of Middle East Film & Comic Con.
The convention, the largest of its kind in the region, will put fans within autograph distance of some of their favourite creators, offering up an exhilarating programme of events that will soon have phasers set to fun.
The event will run across three days at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, where a host of international A-listers from the silver screen and streaming services will gather for VIP meet-and-greets, insightful talks and interviews.
Collectors will be able to bolster their treasure trove and trade memorabilia, while cosplay parades and live music – with some sets delivered by energetic anime bands – are also on the bill.
