There is quite a bit of information available aboutCCXP24, including when the event runs, where it takes place, which tickets are still available, and what guests and panels are announced. Although it is a relatively new convention, CCXP (formerly known as Comic Con Experience) has one of the most vibrant fan conventions worldwide. The event, which is a collaboration between the web site Omelete, comic company Chiaroscuro Studios, and toy company Piziitoys, typically takes place in São Paulo, Brazil, though it has also been held in Germany and Mexico.
Since its inception in 2014, an event that featured special guests such asLord of the Ringsstar Sean Astin andAquamanstar Jason Momoa,CCXP has grown to become the biggest pop culture festival in the world. While the original event had roughly 100,000 attendees, it has ballooned to reach 280,000. In the process, it has attracted major talent from across the globe, including Keanu Reeves, Jenna Ortega, Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, Kevin Feige, Gwendoline Christie, Chris Pine, Hugh Grant, Bella Ramsey, J. J. Abrams, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Henry Cavill, theHeartstoppercast, and many more stars.
