Well here’s some bad news to start the week off with. Comic Con Africa has a ton of guests who’ll be making the trip down to sunny South Africa and the Kyalami International Convention Center, but one name on the list who won’t be seen that weekend? Aquaman himself, Jason Momoa. Thanks to scheduling conflicts, the best member of the Justice League won’t be around for Comic Con Africa, which leaves a sizable hole in the guest list:
We are sorry to announce that due to an unforeseen filming schedule change Jason Momoa has had to withdraw his participation from Comic Con Africa 2018.
Jason Momoa sends his sincere regrets and hopes to be able to come see us again at a future event. pic.twitter.com/Ijek0C2ZDt— Comic Con Africa (@ComicConAfrica) July 30, 2018
Hopefully next year, Momoa can make an appearance at Comic Con Africa deux.

I’m not one of those run after celebrities kinda people, so I couldn’t really give a crap. I mean, they are just people. I mean I spent one afternoon in a pub calling Robbie Wessels, Poena, the whole time just to see how long it would take him to lose his shit.
But, shame man. All those teenage girls are probably crying in their pillows now and going all emo. Big blow for the convention.

Ditto. Well, I was at least considering going due to him, but now that is gone.

That’s quite a massive blow, he was by far the lead draw for the convention

“UNFORESEEN FILMING SCHEDULE” – smells like re-shoots to me 🙂

If you’re referring to Aquaman…. yeah, I don’t see that being the case. Principal photography wrapped on that last year October already. They’re waaaaaaay into VFX post-production at this stage.

They better shoehorn someone else in. Must be someone who’s been demoted to the ”straight to DVD” category available. Seriously though: Maybe one of the Black Panther cast would be a good idea.
