The Middle East Film & Comic Con 2023 (MEFCC) will be “bigger and bolder” because it won’t just offer fans anime workshops and expositions but the chance to meet famous, accomplished, and best-loved examples in motion pictures.
It will be a three-day extravaganza from March 3 to 5 and will take place at Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC). Like other festivals, one of the most exciting parts is to meet and greet the line-up of various Hollywood stars attending the event, and MEFCC 2023 has revealed the first set of celebrity guests.
