Things are about to get a whole lot stranger, Supa-Fans! Ahead of next week’s penultimate episodes of the fifth and final season of Stranger Things, premiering on Boxing Day, Supanova Comic Con & Gaming has one last early Christmas present for fans. Bringing the Upside Down, Down Under, Supa-Star Jamie Campbell Bower has just been announced for Supanova’s 2026 stops on the Gold Coast (11-12 April 2026) and in Melbourne (18-19 April 2026)!
Stepping through the gate to make his first-ever appearance with the event, Bower quickly became a fan-favourite when he debuted in the fourth season of Netflix’s Emmy Award-winning hit. His chilling portrayal of Vecna, named for the iconic Dungeons & Dragons character, scored the actor a Critics Choice and MTV nomination for Best Villain, and sees him return as one of the most hotly anticipated inclusions in the series’ epic conclusion.
Otherwise known for his roles in Twilight, the Harry Potter franchise, The Mortal Instruments, and Sweeney Todd, Bower will appear alongside previously announced Supa-Stars Denise Richards, Harry Potter co-star Bonnie Wright, original Ghostbuster Ernie Hudson, Tulsa King’s Frank Grillo and Garrett Hedlund, Buffy fave James Marsters, Robbie Daymond of Critical Role(similarly inspired by Dungeons & Dragons), plus so many more.
From the pages of D&D to those of the country’s best comic creators, Supanova’s international artists Adi Granov and Humberto Ramos will now be joined by the likes of Jon Sommariva (Neverlanders), Davi
