Toronto’s Fan Expo has revealed the big names attending this year’s convention and none are bigger than six-foot-four, 230-pound Aquaman star Jason Momoa.

The list published Monday by the downtown event — coming to the Metro Toronto Convention Centre on Aug. 22 to 25 — has dozens of names including The Office’s Rainn Wilson; Canada’s own Baywatch star Pamela Anderson; Shazam! star Zachary Levi; and Jeff Goldblum, known for everything from Annie Hall to Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.

Beyond them, convention-goers will note a strong ’80s flavour to the guests with Blade Runner stars Sean Young, Rutger Hauer and Edward James Olmos (visiting us in the exact year the original film was set, 2019); a trio of The Goonies, Sean Astin, Corey Feldman and Ke Huy Quan; and Mario Lopez, Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Elizabeth Berkley, alumni of TV’s Saved by the Bell (a ’90s sensation that debuted in 1989).

Fans of actual comic books, the pastime that the event built its appeal on a quarter-century ago, will note there remains a large number of big creative names in their field coming to the fest, notably Jim Lee, Greg Capullo, David Finch, Phil Jimenez, Gail Simone and Canada’s own Todd McFarlane and Jeff Lemire. These days, however, Fan Expo bills itself as a “pop culture convention,” North America’s largest.

How about you?

Expo organizers also note that some of the voice cast of Corner Gas Animated will be there, as will Appa and the rest of the gang from Kim’s Convenience.

“Each year we aim to curate unique experiences for the next generation of pop culture and genre fanatics while staying true to the purists who have been with us since the beginning, and this year is no exception,” Fan Expo HQ vice-president Andrew Moyes said in Monday’s statement.

Beyond the opportunity to meet and get a photo with or autograph from a favourite creator, the expo promises a retail floor of over 400,000 square feet selling comics, movies, collectibles and more; a serious cosplay competition, the Northern Qualifier for the FAN GURU Masters of Cosplay Grand Prix, on Saturday, Aug. 24; panels, workshops and seminars; tabletop gaming and video gaming’s Rocket League North American Championship Grand Finals; and even speed dating.
