As crews begin preparations for next weekend’s Ottawa ComicCon, organizers have been forced to reshuffle the list of expected guests as personal conflicts are preventing some from visiting the nation’s capital.

Adam West, who is best known for playing TV’s Batman in the hit series that aired between 1966 and 1968, has backed out of the show due to “personal and professional commitments.” This is the second time West has had to cancel his appearance at Ottawa ComicCon.

Brent Spiner, who is best known for playing Commander Data on Star Trek: The Next Generation, has also had to cancel his appearance at the event due to a “personal commitment.”

However, organizers behind ComicCon announced Wednesday that Hollywood celebrity John Cusack would be added to the list of this year’s guests to help make up for those who aren’t coming. Cusack has been in dozens of films, including Being John Malkovich, High Fidelity, Hot Tub Time Machine, Grosse Pointe Blank, Say Anything and Sixteen Candles.
