Canada's largest pop culture event is happening this week with Fan Expo Canada

The largest event for all things pop culture is kicking off this week with Fan Expo Canada.

The event — which is massive in scope — takes up both the north and south wings of the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, with record-breaking attendance numbers often going well over 100,000 attendees.

While the bread and butter for Fan Expo Canada often surrounds pop culture retailers, fan artists and numerous examples of sci-fi, horror and comic book cosplay, the event also features deep dive panel events and meet-and-greet opportunities with industry icons

Some of the biggest celebrities featured this year include:

Simu Liu (Marvel Studio’s Shang-Chi)
Marisa Tomei (Marvel Studio’s Spide-Man)
Giancarlo Esposito (The Mandalorian)
Rosario Dawson (Star Wars: Ahsoka)
Bryce Dallas Howard (Jurrasic World)
Josh Gad (Disney’s Frozen)
John Rhys-Davies (The Lord of the Rings)
Temuera Morrison (The Book of Boba Fett)
