Photos: Actors from ‘Star Wars’, ‘Marvel’ and More Head to SpaceCon San Antonio

It was an out-of-this-world weekend at SpaceCon San Antonio, presented by Thomas J. Henry at the Freeman Coliseum from October 25-27, 2024.

This newest comic con, created by PMX Events, allowed fans of intergalactic television shows and movies to see celebrities from space-themed franchises including Star Wars, Star Trek, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Battlestar Galactica, among others.

Celebrity guests included Ewan McGregor, Hayden Christensen, Rosario Dawson, Josh Brolin, Sean Gunn, Michael Rooker, Katee Sackhoff, Ahmed Best, Levar and Mica Burton, Ross Marquand, William Shatner, and more!

The convention included celebrity panels, photo-ops, autographs, a vendor’s area, as well as a free-play arcade area. Fans of all ages showed off their cosplay skills at a cosplay contest representing various fandoms.

Ming-Na Wen spoke in her panel about being part of so many franchises, saying that she still has not been in Star Trek, so maybe someday she can make that happen.

Josh Brolin joked about filming Men in Black 3 and not knowing if Tommy Lee Jones liked his interpretation of the young Agent K character until years later. Star Trek fans enjoyed stories from Mica Burton about her father, Levar, including the time he microwaved his cell phone. Later in his panel, Levar side-stepped an explanation of that incident, making fans (and his co-stars) laugh even more.

Ewan McGregor talked about the day that Robert DeNiro was on the set of Star Wars and how embarrassing it was filming a scene with Hayden Christensen with their light sabers while the great Robert DeNiro watched.

Sean Gunn started off his panel answering fan questions but was soon derailed by Michael Rooker appearing on stage and then jumping into the audience with his microphone, bringing with him a lot of energy and laughter.

The affordable, family-friendly event debuted in Alamo City to passionate fans eager to celebrate their love for these celebrities and their work.
