Whilst we’ve talked at length about the impact that Covid-19 has had on comics, film and TV, another area of our industry which has been heavily impacted is conventions.
London Film and Comic Con was originally set to take place in July, but with current social distancing and lockdown arrangements it would not be possible for the organisers to put on an event which was both safe and exciting for fans.
With that in mind the event has been pushed back to November 20 – 22. It will still take place at the legendary Olympia here in London and we’re taking a look at some of the guests so far confirmed. The November event is set to play host to a number of huge names including Agents of SHIELD‘s Clark Gregg and Harry Potter‘s Robbie Coltrane.
