As usual, there is way more going on than we could even hope to cover. Between events, celebrities, cosplay, shopping and gaming you will never be bored. This years movie guest list includes John Cena, Liv Taylor, Orlando Bloom, Lena Headly, Alec Baldwin, and Diego Luna. This is a few of the movie stars, there are more than you shake a stick at, though why you would want to I don’t know. On top of movie stars they have brought in legendary director John Carpenter and some animation voices from some of your favorites. The guest list is expansive and even has several familiar names and faces that are not common on the convention circuit, such as Mr. T from the A-Team.

The heartbeat of MEGACON Orlando 2026 is undoubtedly the vibrant cosplay community. It is a space where every level of creativity is celebrated. From the most intricate, hand piece to classic Halloween costumes, each reflects an expression of joy and fandom. This year, the convention floor has transformed into a living gallery of imagination, with energy peaking in anticipation of Saturday’s Masters of Cosplay Grand Finale and its massive $10,000 top prize. Whether fans are strutting across the Red Carpet or simply navigating the halls of the Orange County Convention Center, the sheer dedication to detail and character proves that the creative spirit has never been stronger.
