T
he annual Indonesia Comic Con (ICC) is set to return for two days from Oct. 27 to 28 in Hall A-B of the Jakarta Convention Center (JCC) in Senayan, Central Jakarta.
The pop culture event will feature local and international actors, artists and cosplayers with its panel sessions, exhibition, live performance and cosplay competition.
Widely recognized as Hodor in HBO’s award-winning series Game of Thrones, actor Kristian Nairn is set to be one of the special guests at ICC 2018. Also working as a DJ, Nairn is the headline act at Rave of Thrones – a music show with a Game of Thrones atmosphere. Bringing his music event to Jakarta, Nairn will also perform at The Pallas’ Halloween night party on Oct. 27.
American actor Adrian Pasdar is also scheduled to attend the event. He is known for his role as Glenn Talbot in Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Morgan Edge in Supergirl. “I’m going to be in Indonesia […] if you happen to be near Jakarta, swing by and say hello,” read Pasdar's Instagram post.
Amanda Righetti reportedly will also attend ICC 2018. She has appeared in many TV series and films, including in Captain America: First Avenger, Friday the 13th and The Mentalist.
