Time to get those costumes out.

The Middle East Film and Comic Con (MEFCC), the annual event that celebrates everything pop culture, is coming back for the third time to Dubai. And it’s got a new home.

Hollywood star Seth Green, known for his roles in the Austin Powers films and TV shows such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, is one of the first celebrities to be announced as a guest at the event, to be held from at the Dubai World Trade Centre from April 3 to 5. Scottish actor Sylvester McCoy, who played the seventh doctor in the long-running British science-fiction series Dr Who in the 80s, and wizard Radagast the Brown in Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit series, will also attend. A number of A-list stars are set to be announced in the coming days, said organisers.
