'Back To The Future' 40th Anniversary Highlights Fan Expo New Orleans, January 10-12, 2025

NEW ORLEANS - Oct. 4, 2024 - PRLog -- The way we see it, if you're going to build a pop culture convention, why not do it with some style? With apologies to Doc Brown, if our calculations are correct, FAN EXPO New Orleans brings every gigawatt of energy with its first wave of celebrities attending the annual extravaganza, January 10-12, 2025, at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. Headlining an already impressive lineup are four beloved stars of the Back to the Future trilogy, including Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson and Tom Wilson, celebrating the 40^th anniversary of the first installment in the franchise (and 140^th anniversary of the 1885 setting of BTTF3!)

And if that weren't enough, fans of "Smallville" can meet a trio of standouts from that landmark series, including Tom Welling, Michael Rosenbaum and Kristin Kreuk. And "Firefly" standout Alan Tudyk is also part of the initial lineup announcement, a superhero's start to what will surely be another huge celebration in the Big Easy.

FAN EXPO New Orleans features the biggest and best in pop culture: movies, TV, music, artists, writers, exhibitors, cosplay, with three full days of themed programming to satisfy every fandom.

Michael J. Fox debuted as a professional actor at 15, co-starring in the sitcom "Leo and Me" on CBC. When he was 18, Fox moved to Los Angeles. He had a series of bit parts, including one in "Palmerstown USA" before winning the role of lovable conservative Alex P. Keaton on NBC's enormously popular "Family Ties" (1982-89).

He may be best known to FAN EXPO fans for his iconic portrayal of "Doc Brown," but Christopher Lloyd's career includes blockbuster films including The Addams Family and Who Framed Roger Rabbit and classic series like "Taxi" and the animated "Cyberchase."

In addition to playing "Lorraine Baines McFly" alongside Fox, Lea Thompson starred in SpaceCamp, Howard the Duck, Dennis the Menace, Some Kind of Wonderful, All the Right Moves and numerous other hit films.

Tom Wilson is a character actor, writer and comedian with more than 100 film and TV credits. Wilson burst into the BTTF movies as the now iconic bully "Biff," his grandson "Griff," and even his own great grandfather, gunslinger Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen.

Tom Welling is probably best known for his role as "Clark Kent" in "Smallville."

New Orleans is the first event on the 2025 FAN EXPO HQ calendar; the full schedule is available at fanexpohq.com/home/events/.
