The fan convention is set to return next spring, bringing a number of stars to the Exhibition Centre Liverpool from Saturday, May 2 to Sunday, May 3. Thousands of fans are expected to turn out at the event over the weekend for a chance to meet some of their favourite celebrities.
Organisers have announced today, Thursday, December 11, that Lenore will be among the special guests. The 66-year-old is known for voicing the iconic character Rogue in X-Men: The Animated Series (1992-1997) and related video games, a role defining her voice acting career.
