Comic-Con 2025 wraps up in San Diego
Comic-Con 2025 wraps up in San Diego Cosplay fans gather at San Diego Comic-Con 2025, which ran from July 24-27 at the San Diego Convention Center. Photo: RTHK RTHK's San Francisco correspondent Mark Niu reports from Comic-Con One of the world's largest conventions on pop culture wrapped up on Sunday in the US city of San Diego. The Comic-Con International 2025 brought out the stars and plenty of costumes. An estimated 150,000 people filled the convention halls to celebrate their favourite comic books, TV shows, games, and movies. Hollywood actor and wrestler John Cena put in an appearance to discuss the upcoming season of his superhero series The Peacemaker. Cena appeared in the title character's full comic costume and grand helmet, leading the legions in the kind of exaggerated drama he was perfect at provoking in his wrestling days. The crowd saw scenes from Season 2, which arrives in August and sees Cena entering another dimension where he gets to be a cool version of the hero instead of the often pained version that's typical of the character. Some characters from Superman will make appearances. Over the weekend, the cast of Bad Guys 2 teased new footage from the movie and described how they recorded their characters. Marc Maron, who plays Snake, joked that he asked to be tied up as he performed his lines on the floor. 'The depth of the character should read a little more this time,' he said. The film, based on the graphic novel series by Aaron Blabey, introduces a new crew of animal criminals, the Bad Girls played by Danielle Brooks, Natasha Lyonne and Maria Bakalova. Paramount showed off its first footage from a new series, Starfleet Academy, which stars Holly Hunter and Paul Giamatti. The show follows cadets as they go through training, with Hunter serving as chancellor of the academy. It will arrive in 2026, the 60th anniversary year of the original Star Trek series. Fans also got sneak previews of Five Nights at Freddy's 2, the upcoming FX series Alien: Earth and Predator: Badlands, which will be in theatres in November. Creating every bit as much excitement among fans was the Chinese company Pop Mart, selling the latest version of the hugely-popular Labubu dolls. Kathy Rheinhardt says she had to sign up for an online lottery several weeks ago to book an appointment, then show up at a time slot to stand in a queue that appeared to have at least 100 people. 'I want the pink one and the purple one. They're blind boxes, so you don't know what you get till you open it, but it makes it exciting", she said. Among the vendors on the floor were also mom-and-pop-style stalls, such as Artistic Flavorz owned by Filippina-American Joanne Zamudio. Customers there could get colorful T-shirts, stickers, and unique enamel pins, including one in the form of an Ube ice cream bin that opens to reveal chicken adobo stored inside. 75 percent of Artistic Flavorz' products are manufactured in China and therefore being hit by US tariffs. 'It is more difficult because we have to pay an extra on top of that without raising our prices, because we don't feel like we should, you know, affect what our consumer has to pay just because we have to pay more. So we're kind of just like biting the bullet right now,' said Joanne Zamudio, co-owner of Artistic Flavorz. Another important section to visit was the famed Artists Alley, where hundreds of artists - drawing everything from SpiderMan to Star Wars - sell their personal works. But these days artists like Salvador Velazquez from Mexico said they were concerned about the growing threat of generative AI. 'Anyone can paint just with this right amount of time dedicated to it. And with generative AI, you don't get that. You may get, a nice shot of any picture, but it's stolen and you lose yourself the whole experience of creating it yourself,' said Velazquez.

Mr Bigstuff season 2 cast as Danny Dyer welcomes fellow EastEnders stars
The second season of Mr Bigstuff is now airing on Sky and NOW and the new episodes see Danny Dyer's Lee Campbell and Ryan Sampson's Glen on the hunt for their dad Mr Bigstuff's second series broadcasts on Sky and NOW, with the latest instalment resuming mere weeks following the shocking revelation that the siblings' father remains alive. Lee Campbell (portrayed by Danny Dyer) and his sibling Glen (Ryan Sampson) have responded to the startling disclosure in contrasting ways, yet manage to come together as they endeavour to locate their dad. Another beloved character making a comeback for the sophomore season is Kirsty (Harriet Webb), who finds herself "taking charge in the bedroom and the boardroom". This season will see a huge EastEnders reunion as Linda Henry, known for playing Shirley Carter, stars in a guest role. Additional returning cast members feature Adrian Scarborough as Ian, Fatiha El-Ghorri as Aysha, Victoria Alcock as Sue, Ned Dennehy as Bunny and Clive Russell as Uncle Ron. Here's everything you need to discover about the fresh guest performers for series two, which Sampson both created and penned. Rita - Rula Lenska Rula Lenska is a 77 year old English performer recognised for her cinema appearances in Queen Kong and Aura. On television, she's remembered for portraying Claudia Colby in the ITV soap Coronation Street. Pam - Linda Henry Linda Henry reconnected with her EastEnders colleague Dyer for this venture, with the duo having shared numerous intense sequences on the soap throughout the years as Mick and Shirley Carter. Most memorably a plot thread that exposed Mick and Shirley were not brother and sister as initially believed, but that he was actually her offspring. Henry is a 65 year old English performer who also featured as Yvonne Atkins in the ITV prison drama series Bad Girls. Angry clown - Shaun Williamson Williamson, a former EastEnders star, is best known for his role as Barry Evans, which became a defining part of his career. He later appeared in the BBC /HBO sitcom Extras, playing a satirical version of himself. Post his departure from the soap, he featured in Sexy Murder, Life's Too Short and Al Murray's Great British Pub Quiz. The second series of Mr Bigstuff is currently airing on Sky and NOW.
