DALLAS, Texas (July 28, 2026) — One of Hollywood’s most celebrated stars is heading to Texas for his first-ever FAN EXPO appearance.
Academy Award-winning actor Nicolas Cage, whose unforgettable career spans action, adventure, comic book blockbusters and acclaimed dramatic performances, will appear at FAN EXPO Dallas, taking place September 11-13, 2026, at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center. Fans will have the opportunity to purchase photo ops, autographs, and tickets to Nicolas Cage Live, an exclusive on-stage conversation celebrating his legendary career. Tickets for all Nicolas Cage experiences go on sale Thursday, July 30, at 10 a.m. CT.
Throughout a career spanning more than four decades, Cage has become one of cinema’s most distinctive performers with iconic roles in National Treasure, Con Air, Ghost Rider and the Spider-Noir series, earning generations of fans across action, superhero, adventure and genre filmmaking.
It’s also a time for Nicolas Cage to be amongst his fellow geeks; he is a famous comic book collector. His four-color fandom is part of his allure to fans, especially his love for Superman and Marvel Comics
Fromhttps://gocollect.com/blog/celebrity-collections-nicolas-cage-comic-books:
Cage — whose legal last name is Copolla (yes, he’s a part of that Hollywood family) — opted to use the now-ubiquitous last name to stand out from his family. Inspired by the Marvel hero Luke Cage and Avante-Garde composer John Cage, Nicolas Cage has certainly made the name all his own. Cage even named his son Kal-El — Superman’s legal Kryptonian name. To say he is a big comic book fan would be a massive understatement. Celebrity Collections: Nicolas Cage & Comic Books by Lauren Sisselman | June 16, 2022
