Why Franchise Reunions Draw Crowds at Conventions

Fans do not just love actors. They love the worlds those actors helped build. That is why a reunion, two or more people from the same film, series or game on one stage, is one of the strongest ideas a convention can program.

Why reunions work

  • One ticket, many memories. A reunion panel gives fans stories they cannot hear anywhere else: how the cast met, what happened between takes, what never made it to screen.
  • Built-in promotion. Each guest shares the announcement with their own followers, so a single reunion reaches several fan bases at once.
  • Longer lines, happier fans. Collectors want every signature on the same poster, which keeps them moving from table to table.

Think beyond the cast

The people behind the camera are a reunion's secret weapon. Composers, fight choreographers and writers have a different view of a production than the cast, and fans of a series are often hungry for it. On our roster, composer John Ottman scored several films in the X-Men series, and composer Nathaniel Blume worked across the CW's Arrowverse series, including Supergirl, Arrow and The Flash.

Reunions already on our roster

A few groupings from the Brandsome Elite roster show how naturally reunions come together:

  • The Night Watchmen: Dan De Luca, Ken Arnold and Dan Franko starred in the cult horror comedy.
  • The Arrowverse: Christopher Showerman appeared in Supergirl, alongside composer Nathaniel Blume's work across the shared universe.
  • Power Rangers and Spartacus: Barry Duffield brings both Power Rangers and the STARZ Spartacus series to a fan table.

Browse the full list by franchise to find the universes your audience loves.

How to build one

Start with the franchise your attendees mention most, then look for two or three people connected to it. Mix on-screen and behind-the-scenes guests, give the group a dedicated panel, and announce them together so the reunion itself becomes the headline.
