‘The Walking Dead’, ‘Buffy’ & ‘Charmed’ Stars Join Supanova Melbourne & Gold Coast

The zombie apocalypse is heading to Melbourne and Gold Coast this March, with The Walking Dead stars Ross Marquand and Cooper Andrews leading Supanova Comic Con & Gaming’s latest line-up announcements.

After becoming one of The Walking Dead’s most beloved cast members through his portrayal of Aaron, Marquand entered the MCU fold, taking up the mantle of Red Skull and playing an integral role in both Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.

Marquand isn’t the only Walking Dead star to make the jump to the big screen. Known for his role as Ezekiel’s righthand man, Jerry, in the AMC mega-hit, Andrews shone as Billy Batson’s foster father, Victor, in DC’s Shazam!.
