Denver Comic Con 2015 Guest Spotlight: Manu Bennett

Written by John Edward Betancourt

One would think that being a little over a month away from a major convention that at this point we would no longer be hearing guest announcements. Instead, it would be time for us fans to begin making our final prep for the weekend, get those cosplays or superhero shirts ready and game plan all the celebrities and panels we would want to see.

But as it turns out Denver Comic Con has other plans in mind. As we start our final prep, they continue to shower us with gifts upon gifts, announcing more guests at a breakneck speed and over the weekend DCC made it known that another awesome guest would be gracing the halls of the Colorado Convention Center...Manu Bennett.

Manu is another rising star in Hollywood, having first garnered the attention of fans everywhere by playing Crixus on Spartacus: Gods of the Arena and Spartacus: War of the Damned. His fine work on Starz! allowed him to land an incredible opportunity to work with Peter Jackson, since Manu was featured in all three parts of the Hobbit trilogy as Azog.
But he is of course most recognizable for his work as Slade Wilson a.k.a. Deathstroke on the hit show Arrow. 

Manu is truly another fine addition to the amazing lineup at Denver Comic Con 2015 and one that will undoubtedly have a huge autograph line, heck I know Mattie has been talking non stop about the fact that he is coming and I'm certain plenty more of you out there are as excited as she is! 

I love how DCC is just bringing amazing guests in at a rapid fire pace, and I honestly cannot wait to see who else they will be announcing in the coming days as Denver Comic Con draws near.
