You know him. You love him. Sometimes you might hate him, but you still love him. His name is Karl Urban, and he's joining us at New York Comic Con 2025. For over 20 years he's been a genre star, of the above franchise as well as leading his own with the most excellent Dredd in 2012, and more. Urban will be with us in NYCC on Thursday, October 9, and Friday, October 10, and is keen to meet fans for autographs, take a photo together, and perhaps have a wee chat.

Popverse will be having an exclusive pre-sale for its NYCC Superfans for Karl Urban (and more!) beginning Friday, August 29, at 10 AM Eastern time. This'll be the first place to get Autographs and Photo Ops experiences with him. Any spots left remaining after our voracious Popverse Superfans book their times will go on sale Tuesday, September 2 at 12 PM Eastern.

Your year-long Popverse NYCC Superfan membership will not only give you first dibs on these experiences, but also all the major NYCC celebrity experiences, such as this, as well as a pre-sale on NYCC 2026 tickets. In addition to that, you'll also be able to watch all the major panels from New York Comic Con 2025 we'll be filming, as well as panels from previous years from this show, as well as Chicago's C2E2, Seattle's Emerald City Comic Con, and more. To top it all off, all Popverse members get exclusive first access to members-only interviews, features, and other articles Popverse does all year.

Here's everything you need to enjoy New York Comic Con 2025:
