While Jamie Campbell Bower's future with the Stranger Things franchise may be up in the air at the moment, there is one role we can absolutely confirm for his future - that is, a guest at Emerald City Comic Con 2026! Popverse is thrilled to announced that Vecna himself will be headed to Seattle for the Pacific Northwest's premiere pop culture event, and we've got all the details of his visit right here.

Bower, whose non-Stranger Things credits include Caius in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn and an as-yet-unknown role in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, will be at the Seattle Convention Center the Saturday and Sunday of ECCC '26 - March 7 & 8, to be exact. There, fans will be able to grab a photo with or autograph from the genre star, as well as see him take part in a spotlight panel, details of which are to be determined as of this writing.

Tickets for Emerald City Comic Con 2026 are on sale right now, and Popverse Superfans get special access to Jamie Campbell Bower photo ops and autographs, plus much more. Lots to look forward to! In fact, here's everything an ECCC Popverse Superfan membership will get at this year's show:
