Popverse's top stories

• Every Star Wars trilogy is really a bad romantasy story and you'll never convince me otherwise
• Midnighter and Apollo from DC Comics proved that fighting a tyrant together is incredibly romantic

Chicagoans can breathe easy this March, because an Avenger will be in town to keep the city safe — although there’s going to be a small chance that everything might end up looking a little like a sitcom in the process. (Which, if we’re being real, isn’t that bad.) The Scarlet Witch herself, Elizabeth Olsen, is headed to Illinois for C2E2 2026 for a two day stretch of signings, photos, and more.

Olsen — whose roles outside the MCU include His Three Daughters, Eternity, and the upcoming Panic Carefully alongside Julia Roberts — will be in McCormick Place in Chicago for the Saturday and Sunday of C2E2 2026. (That’s March 28 and 29, for all you calendar fans out there.) She’ll be available for autographs, photo ops, and will be holding court in a panel across her stay at the Midwest’s finest pop culture event, offering plenty of opportunities for fans of Marvel’s most chaotic hero to get to know her.

For fans wanting to hang out with the woman behind Wanda Maximoff, good news: tickets for C2E2 2026 are currently on sale. But if you’re looking to make the most of your time at the show — and get access to a presale for autographs and photo-ops for Olsen before the rest of the world — then we should draw your attention to the magic that is being a C2E2 Popverse Superfan. What kind of magic, you’re wondering? We’re glad you asked; C2E2 Superfans get access to the following:

• Guaranteed first access to tickets
• $15 voucher for Epic Photo Ops
• An on-site Fast Pass line for Celebrity Autos & Photo Ops
• Premium access to purchase photo ops, autographs, and exclusive merch
• Access to Popverse's exclusive Superfan Lounge
• 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

You can learn more about a C2E2 Popverse Superfan membership right here. And if you're wondering whether Superfans get early access to Elizabeth Olsen's autographs and photo ops, they do! The Superfan presale begins 1pm Eastern on February 5, and runs for 24 hours before the sale opens up to the general public.

C2E2 2026 runs March 27 through March 29 at McCormick Place in Chicago. It’s going to be one of the finest weekends of the year, and we’re hoping that we’ll be seeing you there for the whole thing.
