Wizard World Cleveland 2016 marked Wizard World’s second convention in Cleveland, Ohio and it was bigger and better. Â Fans flocked to the FirstMerit Convention Center of Cleveland to see their favorite actors and creators. Â On Saturday, February 27, 2016, the second day of Wizard World Cleveland, attendance was in the thousands. Â Many came to get their picture taken with Chris Hemsworth who plays Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Â Other celebrities at Wizard World Cleveland 2016 were Brent Spiner (Star Trek: TNG), Jason David Frank (Power Rangers), Jason Mewes (Clerks, Dogma) and many more.
As with any other comic conventions, there were plenty of cosplayers at Wizard World Cleveland. Â The popular characters cosplayers came dressed as were Deadpool and characters from the new Star Wars film, as well as some classics like Batman and the Joker. Â There were also some blasts from the past that the casual pop culture fan may not recognize such as Hanna-Barbera’s Penelope Pitstop and Milestone’s Static Shock.
Also, panels such as THE WOMEN OF S.H.I.E.L.D., TIME TRAVELING WITH KAREN GILLAN and LET’S SHUT DOWN SOME STREETS: THE RUSSO BROTHERS gave fans who came out to Wizard World Cleveland 2016 some insight into behind the scenes stories from their favorite movies and TV shows.
