Star Trek: Strange New Worlds To Make “Holographic Panel” Appearance At MCM Comic-Con London
Well… This is something of a first… You could say they “boldly go where no one has gone before”… The cast of ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds‘ are set to make a “holographic panel” appearance at MCM Comic-Con when the convention beams into London later this month!
To celebrate the Star Trek universe and the return of ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ with a second 10-episode season on Paramount+, fan favourites Rebecca Romijn (Una Chin-Riley), Ethan Peck (Spock), Celia Rose Gooding (Nyota Uhura) and Melissa Navia (Erica Ortegas) will all be beamed in as live holograms for an exclusive panel hosted by Alex Zane. Kicking off the weekend with a bang, the panel will take place on Friday, 26th May 2023 at 5pm BST and will give Star Trek fans the chance to hear behind-the-scenes details from the upcoming series, see an exclusive clip and more.
Tickets are still available for MCM Comic-Con London, and is a great weekend if you’ve never been before. Other guests at this event include the cast of ‘What We Do In The Shadows’ and ‘Our Flag Means Death’, gaming guests from ‘God Of War’ and ‘Baldur’s Gate 3’, plus lots of cosplay, geeky merch, and other fun things to do.
