Jon Bernthal first rose to international fame playing Shane Walsh, a key character in the hit TV series The Walking Dead.
He went on to deliver a powerful performance as Frank Castle / The Punisher, the dark anti-hero who enforces his own code of justice, in the Marvel series Marvel’s Daredevil. His portrayal—balancing brutality with deep emotion—captivated audiences around the world.
Bernthal later reprised the role in Marvel’s The Punisher, and more recently returned as The Punisher in Daredevil: Born Again.
He has also appeared in the action film series The Accountant starring Ben Affleck, and the Emmy-winning series The Bear, earning high acclaim as a versatile and skilled actor.
Looking ahead, Bernthal is set to appear in the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Christopher Nolan’s new epic The Odyssey (working title), alongside Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, and Zendaya—cementing his place as one of Hollywood’s most exciting talents.
Starting her career at a young age, Christina Ricci became an icon through her role as the cool, intelligent, and darkly charming Wednesday Addams in the beloved Addams Family films, co-starring Christopher Lloyd.
Her braided black hair and deadpan wit became a defining image of the franchise.
Ricci went on to appear in numerous acclaimed films across genres, including Casper and Buffalo ’66, and collaborated multiple times with Johnny Depp in Sleepy Hollow and The Man Who Cried.
She has also starred in popular TV series such as Ally McBeal, Grey’s Anatomy, and Pan Am, consistently showcasing her unique on-screen presence.
In 2022, the Netflix hit Wednesday, which tells the story of a young Wednesday Addams, became a global phenomenon. Ricci delighted longtime fans by appearing as Marilyn Thornhill, a teacher at Nevermore Academy—the very school attended by Wednesday herself.
She continues to expand her career with upcoming projects, including new seasons of Yellowjackets (as Misty) and the animated Batman: Caped Crusader, in which she voices Catwoman.
Ricci visited Japan earlier this year for Osaka Comic Con 2025, where she charmed fans through stage talks, photo ops, and autograph sessions. Now, she’s returning for the much-anticipated Tokyo Comic Con—don’t miss your chance to see her again in person!
Best known for her role as Luna Lovegood in the Harry Potter film series, Evanna Lynch’s story is the stuff of dreams.
In 2006, she was chosen from over 15,000 applicants in an open audition to play Luna, making her debut in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
She went on to appear in the final four films of the series, perfectly capturing Luna’s mysterious yet endearing personality and winning the hearts of fans worldwide.
Beyond acting, Lynch has pursued a wide range of creative and humanitarian work.
She published a memoir and serves as an ambassador for Lumos, the international NGO founded by Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, demonstrating her dedication to social causes.
Her last official visit to Japan was in 2023 for the grand opening of Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo – The Making of Harry Potter.
Now, after two and a half years, she returns for her long-awaited first appearance at Tokyo Comic Con!
Don’t miss this rare opportunity to meet the beloved “Luna” in person!
