Don't miss New York Comic Con 2024, happening October 17 through 20. Popverse will be there all four days, immersing ourselves in the pop culture party full of vendors, events, and celebrities from the worlds of comics, movies, TV, gaming, and more. Buy tickets now!


John Boyega has been cast in his next big role - one of the stars of New York Comic Con.  For some of you, he's Star Wars' John Boyega. For others, he's Attack the Block's John Boyega. In recent memory, he's also Pacific Rim: Uprising's John Boyega, Small Axe's John Boyega, or They Cloned Tyrone's John Boyega. The actor and producer will be in attendance at NYCC 2024 on Saturday, October 19 and Sunday, October 20 to meet fans for autographs, for photos, and for a bit of conversation.

For Boyega, this will be his first full-scale comic convention appearance in six years - that's before his Star Wars finale in The Rise of Skywalker, and it's a rare opportunity to meet him as he begins writing the next chapter to his story. John Boyega is currently working with Birds of Prey's Cathy Yan on a movie called The Freshening, as well as a sequel to Attack the Block with creator Joe Cornish.

As with all the major NYCC 2024 guests, Popverse NYCC Superfans are getting first dibs on Photo Ops and Autographs with a presale underway now (check your emails for the unique presale link!). NYCC will be selling the remaining Photo Op and Autograph opportunities to the general public beginning Thursday, September 26 at 3:00 PM Eastern.

If you feel like you're missing out on opportunities like this in terms of getting a spot - or getting the best spot - consider signing up for the Popverse Superfan membership - we have packages for NYCC 2024 (and 2025!), Emerald City Comic Con 2025, and C2E2 2025.

Whatever you decide to do, John Boyega (and Popverse!) will be there for you at New York Comic Con 2024. The event begins Thursday October 17!
