Fans of superhero movies and comics are in for a treat this April, as Andrew Garfield, best known for his role as Peter Parker in The Amazing Spider-Man films, has been confirmed as the headline guest at Middle East Film and Comic Con (MEFCC) 2025, taking place from 18 to 20 April at ADNEC, Abu Dhabi. You can meet the star on 19 and 20 April.
Andrew Garfield’s breakout roles in 'The Social Network' and 'Hacksaw Ridge' earned him critical acclaim, but it was his portrayal of the web-slinging superhero Spider-Man, from 2012 to 2014, that made him a fan favourite across the globe. His emotional return in 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' in 2021 reignited love for his version of the superhero and solidified his legacy in the Marvel universe.
MEFCC 2025 offers fans a rare chance to meet the actor in person, take part in question and answer sessions, and relive the moments that made his Spider-Man unforgettable. But the excitement doesn’t stop there, joining him on the guest list are Natalia Dyer from 'Stranger Things', Grant Gustin from 'The Flash', Charlie Cox from 'Daredevil', and Ian McDiarmid from 'Star Wars', alongside fan-favourite voice actors from anime hits like Naruto, Sailor Moon and Fairy Tail.
Now in its 13th edition, MEFCC continues to grow as the region’s biggest pop culture festival, with over 38,000 fans expected to attend. From meet-and-greets and celebrity panels to cosplay contests and collectables, it’s a must-visit event for every pop culture enthusiast.
