- By Katie Langford klangford@denverpost.com

Stars from “The Office,” “Mythbuster­s,” “Deadpool” and other hit movies and TV shows will join thousands of fans at Denver’s Fan Expo 2024 at the Colorado Convention Center in July.

Organizers started announcing the convention’s celebrity line-up in early March, with guests including Rainn Wilson, who played Dwight Schrute on “The Office;” Adam Savage from “Mythbuster­s;” and Morena Baccarin from “Deadpool” and “Firefly” announced in the last week.

The four-day convention begins July 4 and organizers have already confirmed dozens of guests from popular movies, TV shows, comics and anime.

While one of the convention’s biggest draws is celebrity meetand-greets where fans pay extra for autographs and photos, attendees with regular tickets still will be able to see celebrity interviews and panel discussion­s and get the chance to meet their favorite creators, artists and authors.

The convention also will feature community groups, fan meetups, gaming booths, Jedi Knight and Padawan lightsaber battles, sci-fi and fantasy “Simon Says,” and trivia tournament­s, according to the Visit Denver Convention and Visitors Bureau.
