The PennZone

PHILADELPHIA - PennZone -- If fans thought that FAN EXPO Philadelphia was bringing the best celebrity lineup ever to the City of Brotherly Love, just wait until they see today's wave of guests announced for the event, set for June 2-4 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. Eight headliners from popular shows and films keep the list growing, as Tom Welling, Kristen Kreuk and Michael Rosenbaum ("Smallville"); Mark-Paul Gosselar and Mario Lopez ("Saved the Bell"); Giancarlo Esposito ("Mandalorian"); Zachary Levi (Shazam!); and Hayden Christensen (Star Wars franchise) join a roster already brimming with standouts from across the pop culture world.
