• VOD access to all the C2E2 2026 panels we film
• Access to the 3+ years of convention panels we've recorded from C2E2, New York Comic Con, Emerald City Comic Con, MCM Comic Con, and Florida Supercon

Everyone else, you’re probably wondering just what celebrities you have access to as part of the presale — and we’re happy to tell you:

• Nolan North, Richard McGonagle, Emily Rose - Uncharted (Fri-Sun)
• Ioan Gruffudd (Fri-Sun) and Michael Chiklis (Sat-Sun) - Fantastic Four
• Tyler Hoechlin (Sat-Sun), Bitsie Tulloch (Sat-Sun), Michael Cudlitz (Fri-Sun) - Superman & Lois
• Christopher Eccleston - Doctor Who, Thor: The Dark World, 28 Days Later (Sat)
• Steve Burns - Blue’s Clues (Fri-Sun)
• Stephen Amell and David Ramsey - Arrow (Fri-Sat)

If you don’t see your favorite celeb there, please remember: Not all celebrities and voice actors pre-sell their autographs. Don’t see Autographs available from a celebrity guest or voice actor (and it’s not listed as SOLD OUT)? That means they’ll be selling their autographs at their table at C2E2, and you can head right up to their autographing table during one of their signing times to buy an autograph.
