Simon Pegg and Nick Frost will be at Awesome Con. The actors sH๏τ to stardom together with a series of winning projects—most made with celebrated writer/director Edgar Wright—including the sitcom Spaced, the “zom-com” Shaun of the ᴅᴇᴀᴅ, H๏τ Fuzz, and The World’s End. Both actors have also thrived in their own rights, with Frost appearing in projects like Attack the Block, Truth Seekers, and Star Wars: Skeleton Crew and Pegg in the Mission: Impossible series, the J.J. Abrams Star Trek series, and The Boys. Their breakout film, Shaun of the ᴅᴇᴀᴅ, celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2024.
ScreenRant is happy to announce that frequent Simon Pegg and Nick Frost will appear at Awesome Con on both Saturday and Sunday. The pair will be available for autographs and pH๏τo ops, and will also take part in a panel on the Main Stage. Attendees can expect to get to ask Pegg and Frost questions about their favorite of the pair’s projects—just don’t ask about a Shaun of the ᴅᴇᴀᴅ reboot.
