Press release -
The Boys Cast to Appear at MCM Comic Con this October
London, Friday 29 August: ReedPop is today pleased to announce that stars of the dark superhero series, The Boys, are set to attend MCM Comic Con in October. Karen Fukuhara, Laz Alonso and Tomer Capone will be joining the previously announced Karl Urban at Excel London from October 24 - 26.
Karen Fukuhara plays Kimiko Miyashiro in The Boys but is also well known for her roles in DC’s Suicide Squad, Bullet Train opposite Brad Pitt, and She-Ra and the Princess of Power.
Best known for his role as Mother’s Milk (M.M.) in The Boys, Laz Alonso got his start in showbiz as a television show host before appearing in films such as Jarhead, Avatar, and Fast & Furious 6.
Tomer Capone plays the loveable but troubled misfit Frenchie, one of the show’s three tritagonists alongside Mother’s Milk and Kimiko Miyashiro. Tomer’s portrayal expertly balances Serge’s unpredictability with his guilt for his killer-for-hire past.
Karen, Laz and Tomer will be appearing alongside Billy Butcher himself Karl Urban.
All four will be available for autographs and photo opportunities, and will appear on the Main
Stage at 11am Sunday 26 October for a panel revealing behind-the-scenes details from the making of the hit series. This panel will be included for free with VIP, Weekend and Sunday Priority tickets.
This comes as The Boys’ fifth season is set to release next year, giving fans a chance to hear from the stars ahead of the series’ finale.
