(MENAFN- ForPressRelease) Fans of all things pop culture have marked their calendars for the return of FAN expo Cleveland, set for April 12-14, 2024, at the Huntington convention Center of Cleveland. And with the four-month countdown on, the guest roster for the pop culture extravaganza gets off to a huge start with the first five stars in what will be a star-studded lineup.
It has been more than 20 years since Elijah Wood, Sean Astin, Billy Boyd and Dominic Monaghan first took the film world by storm as the“four hobbits” in the original The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring in 2001. Now the four will get together to greet fans, pose for photo ops and sign autographs in a rare full reunion at FAN EXPO Cleveland. They will also conduct a special exclusive premium live show, during which fans will have the opportunity for further interaction with the stars, with details on that event to follow.
Also announced to the FAN EXPO Cleveland lineup today are Danny Trejo (Machete, From Dusk Till Dawn) and Charlie Cox (“Daredevil,”“Boardwalk Empire”).
Following the LOTR trilogy, Wood has gone on to succeed in many areas of the entertainment industry. His record label, Simian Records and film production company SpectreVision/Company X have spearheaded numerous critically acclaimed projects, and his more than 120 film and television credits attest to his passion for his craft and enthusiasm to express his creativity.
In addition to the“Samwise” portrayal, Astin has demonstrated his innate ability to share his heart with the world through such iconic roles as“Mikey Walsh” in The Goonies, the title character of Rudy, and“Bob Newby” in "Stranger Things," roles that epitomize hope, determination and loyalty. Sean's recent feature films include the award-winning thriller Adverse (2020); the family comedy Hero Mode (2021); Charming the Hearts of Men (2021); and the 2022 comedy iMordecai.
