It is with great regret that we announce that due to unforeseen circumstances, Edward Furlong was unable to make his flight to Australia, and as such will not be able to attend Metro Comic Con this weekend. We have been working together to see if there was an alternative flight option, but unfortunately nothing available would get him to Melbourne in time for the event. Edward is extremely disappointed, as he was incredibly excited to finally travel out and meet his Australian fans, but he has assured us that will be coming over to see you all in the near future. All Autograph & Photograph tokens purchased for Edward Furlong will be automatically refunded in full via Eventbrite within 5 to 7 working days. Token holders do not need to take any action, unless they wish to use that credit to switch their token to another appearing guest. This can be done via the Eventbrite account or at the token booth this weekend. The No Fate Meet & Greet will still go ahead with Linda, and ticket holders will be advised of their refund options.

Head out to @MetroComicCon this weekend and enjoy the Gaming Zone we're hosting with @TheGameExpo

!!CANCELLATION!! We are sad to say we received some difficult news overnight regarding Casper. He has unfortunately fallen ill, and as his condition is not improving, he has not been medically cleared to fly. While we are deeply disappointed that he can no longer join Michael Ironside to meet you all, his health must come first. We wish Casper a full and speedy recovery. ❤️‍🩹 Please note, you are more than welcome to head to your Eventbrite account and transfer your photo and autograph tokens for Casper Van Dien to another guest, otherwise they will automatically be refunded tomorrow, 16th July after Midday AEST. The Starship Troopers dinner is still proceeding with Michael Ironside. Given this, we are editing the schedule and it will be up shortly ** Tokens can be changed by logging into your Eventbrite account, navigating to tickets and selecting Change Tickets. You should change to a same priced or higher token, as Eventbrite is unable to provide refunds for price differences. If you would prefer to change to a lower priced token, please wait for your refund tomorrow.

Linda is HERE and she was so keen to meet you all she said slightly the wrong dates! You can come and meet her this weekend! July 18th-19th at the MCEC!

There's no time for guessing games! While it was sad to hear about Scott Grimes’s cancellation news, luckily his amazing agent has a great client who not only happens to be an Aussie, but one that could also swing to the rescue at a moment’s notice! We sent out the bat signal and they sent Nightwing! Please welcome Brenton Thwaites to Metro City! We love his earnest portrayal of Henry Turner in "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales", his hilarious turn in "Office Uprising", his resolute leadership as Dick Grayson aka Nightwing in "Teen Titans", his skill fighting zombies in the Aussie film "We Bury the Dead", and we can’t wait to see what is still to come as he stars in the ongoing hit show "Two Years Later"! We are delighted to have Brenton Thwaites stepping up to join us this weekend at Metro Comic Con. 🎟️Get your tickets and photo and auto tokens now at metrocomicon2026.eventbrite.com.au
