The star of a popular American science-fiction horror TV series Stranger Things has cancelled his appearance at Bahrain’s first-ever comic convention this weekend.

Joe Keery, well known for his role as Steve Harrington in Stranger Things, was expected to join three other celebrity guests at Bahrain Comic Con which will be held on Friday and Saturday at Bahrain International Circuit, Sakhir.

“We regret to inform you that @uncle_jezzy can’t make it to #bahraincomiccon due to a conflict in his schedule,” said a post on Bahrain Comic Con’s Instagram account.

“Hopefully, we’ll have (him) in future events,” it added.

WWE superstar and SmackDown Live general manager Daniel Bryan will be appearing at the first-ever Bahrain Comic Con.

The four-time WWE Championship title holder, 2011 Money in the Bank winner and former US Champion will conduct a question and answer session and an exclusive meet and greet.

He will be joining other celebrity guests, Charlet Chung and Chloe Hollings, who voice the characters of D Va and Widowmaker in the popular video-game Overwatch, and actor Jerome Flynn, known for his role of Bronn in the hit TV series Game of Thrones.

The highlight of the convention will be the screening of footage from unreleased movies from major film studios such as Fox, Universal Studios and Warner Brothers.

It will also feature a cosplay competition and gaming tournaments for Overwatch, Rocket League, Hearthsone and Fifa 18.

The event will also give local talents a chance to show off their skills at the artists’ alley and the various vendor spaces that will be available to them.
