And everything happening this week for Future Fest!

If you know him, you love him. Friends, Brendan Fraser is coming to New York Comic Con 2025.

Whether it's for Encino Man, George of the Jungle, Gods and Monsters, The Mummy, The Whale, or any of his other projects we didn't mention (tell us in the comments), Brendan Fraser is a special kind of actor - and person. We met him back in 2022 at a con and couldn't stop talking about him for days, and now you can meet him to as he'll be joining us Sunday, October 12 at NYCC 2025 and wants to meet fans, take pictures with you, and have some real fellowship time.

Popverse will be having an exclusive pre-sale for its NYCC Superfans for Brendan Fraser (and more!) beginning Tuesday, September 16 at 10 AM Eastern time. This'll be the first place to get Autographs and Photo Ops experiences with him. Active Popverse NYCC Superfans will be able to access the presale with a link sent to the email address they signed up with, or by logging into the patron portal.

Any spots left remaining after our voracious Popverse Superfans book their times will go on sale September 18 at 10 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, 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.

Get ready for New York Comic Con 2025 (and all its spooky themes!) with our guides to who's appearing in Artists' Alley and Writers Block, as well as our pick of favorite panels at the show, not to mention the best places to eat near the Javits (and IN the Javits!), the whole bathroom situation at NYCC, and a map of all the iconic comic book locations you can visit while in NYC.
