Charlie Cox is another fast-rising titan in the comic book movie space whose performance as Matthew Murdock was so good that the MCU had no choice but to bring him over after the Netflix continuity ended. While the English actor was great in films like The Theory of Everything and Stardust, it wasn’t until Netflix’s Daredevil that he truly became a household name in comic book movie circles. Cox has gone on to cameo as the character in a variety of MCU projects, and will soon lead his own show with the upcoming Daredevil: Born Again.

A FAN EXPO regular, Danny Trejo holds a very much deserved reverence as one of the coolest action stars to have ever graced the screen. Known best for Robert Rodriguez’s Machete series, Trejo has also been a staple in violent action movies and TV shows with a heavy latin flair, such as From Dusk Till Dawn, Breaking Bad, and Predators. These days, Trejo is more often seen voice acting in surprisingly child-friendly content, a hilariously stark contrast to his most famous work.

12 Giancarlo Esposito
Known for Breaking Bad
Giancarlo Esposito first got his acting start playing goofy side characters in projects like Do The Right Thing and Maximum Overdrive. However, in recent years, Esposito’s smooth talking performance as the terrifying drug kingpin Gus Fring in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul has left him typecast in a variety of similar antagonistic mastermind roles, including Moff Gideon from The Mandalorian. Continuing this trend, Giancarlo Esposito is set to soon play the supervillain Sidewinder in the cast of Captain America: Brave New World.

Known for Shameless
Cameron Monaghan is a California native who began his career as a child actor, appearing in kid-friendly films like Stuart Little and Winnie the Pooh. As an adult, Monaghan has proven himself as a veritable TV star, carrying series like Shameless as Ian or providing a chilling antagonist as Jerome/Jeremiah in Gotham.

7 Eli Roth
Known for Inglourious Basterds
Not every big-name appearing at FAN EXPO San Francisco is necessarily a dedicated actor. Eli Roth is better known for his work behind the camera, directing ghoulishly delightful horror movies like Thanksgiving, Cabin Fever, and the first two Hostel films. However, he’s also quite enjoyable as an actor as demonstrated by his performance as Donny “The Bear Jew” Donowitz in Quentin Tarantino’s World War II pulp action flick Inglourious Basterds. Truly a talented name to keep an eye on for this year’s convention.

3 Tyler Hoechlin
Known for Superman & Lois
Custom image by Felipe Rangel
One of the most underrated actors to play Superman in live-action, Tyler Hoechlin has become a fan-favorite in recent memory. Originally making a name for himself in the drama series Teen Wolf, Tyler Hoechlin lends a calm, commanding presence to Clark Kent in the excellent DC adaptation Superman & Lois. Hoechlin is no slouch in the movie department either, leaving memorable impressions in films such as Palm Springs and Road to Perdition.

Known for Superman & Lois
Starring opposite Tyler Hoechlin’s Clark Kent in Superman & Lois is none other than Bitsie Tulloch, who portrays Superman’s iconic better half with grace and poise. Like Hoechlin, Tulloch is no one-hit-wonder, being already well-established thanks to her time as Juliette SIlverton/Eve in the dark supernatural fantasy series Grimm. She also can claim to be a strong feature in the highly Academy-Award-decorated silent film The Artist, in which she plays Norma.

A unique case among a stacked lineup of actors, Butch Hartman is a genius cartoonist, writer, and artist whose name bears recognition, despite his work taking place away from a live-action camera. Hartman rose to fame on Nickelodeon as the mind behind both Danny Phantom and The Fairly Oddparents, two of the network’s heaviest hitters. The critically praised follow-up series Fairly Oddparents: A New Wish lends itself favorably to Hartman’s work, making him a valuable addition to FAN EXPO San Francisco.
