Liverpool Comic Con returned to the city last month and proved to be a hit with convention-goers. The event was held at the Exhibition Centre on Kings Dock, and the weekend saw the Pier Head flooded with cosplayers, sci-fi and fantasy fans and plenty of special guests.

At the time of publishing, only these four members of the Lord of the Rings cast have been announced, but there is potential for more cast members to be revealed before Comic Con lands next year.

Other stars attending are Power Rangers cast members Walter Jones and David Yost, as well as Marvel royalty Elizabeth Olsen, who has played Wanda Maximoff since 2014.

The Liverpool Comic Con social media accounts have been updating fans on cast member announcements since last week, so more guest reveals will no doubt be on their way.

Liverpool Comic Con takes place on May 4 and May 5 2024.
