Written by John Edward BetancourtIt's a magical period of time a few weeks out before Denver Comic Con. The finishing touches are being put on costumes, and all of us are no doubt going over the vast and impressive list of guests that DCC has to offer to decide just exactly who we plan on meeting at this amazing convention. Yes, it's final prep time when you think about it, unless you're the tireless staff at Denver Comic Con, where they are making sure that every single fandom is satisfied and today they surprised all of us once again by announcing another incredible guest that will attend this year's convention, Gwendoline Christie. Now every single Game of Thrones fan out there will recognize her name instantly, since she plays Brienne of Tarth on this fan favorite program but already she is quickly finding her way into other important fandoms as well. She will portray Commander Lyme in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 when it premieres later this year and she has also landed a role in one of the biggest films of this year; Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens, where she will play Captain Phasma. Her announcement today marks yet another up and coming Hollywood star to join the already stellar Denver Comic Con 2015 roster and man, this is a big one. After all, only a handful of shows are as big as Game of Thrones and to top it off, the fact that she has a role in Episode VII already speaks volumes to her talent and I'm stoked someone of her acting caliber will be heading to the convention. DCC simply continues to impress, and I'm stunned at such an epic and awesome announcement arriving just mere weeks before the con. Just stay tuned ladies and gentlemen, if DCC can land someone as awesome as Gwendoline this close to the con, you never know what other surprises might await us...
