'Stranger Things' star David Harbour joins Indiana Comic Con lineup

Indiana Comic Con is subbing in one "Stranger Things" star for another.

David Harbour, who portrays police chief Jim Hopper on the Netflix series, will greet fans March 31 and April 1 at the Indiana Convention Center. Noah Schnapp, who portrays Will Byers, canceled his Indiana Comic Con appearance because of filming obligations in Europe, according to organizers.

This year's event will feature another "Stranger Things" cast member, Sean Astin ("Bob Newby"), March 30 to April 1. The 2017 edition of Indiana Comic Con featured "Stranger Things" actress Millie Bobby Brown.
