Felicity Jones

Jyn speaks with the leaders of the rebellion on Yavin IV in Rogue One A Star Wars Story

Star of the first Star Wars anthology film, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Felicity Jones won over plenty of movie fans for her portrayal of Jyn Erso, the reluctant member of the Rebel Alliance who helped steal the plans to the Death Star. Jones reprised the role of Jyn for Lucasfilm's animated shorts, Star Wars: Forces of Destiny, which the studio began rolling out over the summer.

Arguably THE voice of Batman, Kevin Conroy has had a prolific career in animation, giving voice to Bruce Wayne in dozens of animated movies and episodes of animated TV series - as well as some of the DC-based video games. Conroy first voiced Batman in the 1993 animated film Batman: Mask of the Phantasm and has since reprised the Caped Crusader role in Batman: The Animated Series, Justice League Unlimited, Batman: Arkham City, Batman: The Killing Joke, and most recently the Batman and Harley Quinn movie. In addition to playing Batman, Conroy has appeared on The Office and worked with Kevin Smith on some of his projects, including Yoga Hosers - in which he had a Batman-themed role.

Conroy will be available for autograph signings all four days of NYCC.

Mark Hamill

Luke Skywalker looks on in Star Wars The Force Awakens

Luke Skywalker himself, Mark Hamill was launched to stardom by George Lucas' Star Wars: A New Hope in 1977 and is no stranger to conventions.

Abrams' Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Plus, he'll return in Rian Johnson's Star Wars: The Last Jedi later this year.

After The Walking Dead, Rooker went on to join the MCU as Yondu, appearing in both Guardians of the Galaxy and this summer's sequel, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Though he was rumored to appear in next summer's Avengers: Infinity War, that likely won't be happening due to the events of Vol. 2.

The current star of Doctor Who, Peter Capaldi has played the time-travelling Time Lord since 2013, first appearing in the show's 50th anniversary special, 'The Day of the Doctor' - well, his eyebrows did anyway. He made his official debut in that year's Christmas Special and kicked off his time as the Doctor in the season 8 premiere.

Sean Gunn

Perhaps best known for his role as the quirky Stars Hollow resident Kirk on Gilmore Girls, Sean Gunn has since gone on to join the MCU as Kraglin, a member of the Ravagers and the right hand man to Yondu. Though Kraglin had a smaller role in Guardians of the Galaxy, he proved to be a more helpful member of the team in this summer's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.

He's remained a major part of the Star Trek legacy in the years since, reprising the role in various movies, and voicing the character for a number of video games based on Gene Roddenberry's long-running sci-fi franchise. Shatner has additionally done a great deal of work outside of Star Trek, starring in shows like Boston Legal and T.J. Hooker, and lending his voice to various animated projects.
