SALT LAKE CITY — The Salt Palace is the place to be for Spider-Man fans this September. FanX Salt Lake Comic Convention announced on social media Tuesday that the British actor Tom Holland will be attending the convention for two days this year.
In a Fan Effect Interview with Ryan Meeks, Jarrod Phillips with FanX said that the FanX Salt Lake Comic Convention is one of only three conventions that Tom will attend this year.
“The reason we are able to get such great guests is because of our fans,” Phillips said. “Our fans continually get talked about by our guests as being some of the best in the world.
“There’s a quote that of course, we love, from Stan Lee before he passed, which is that ‘you’re the best comic convention in the world,'” said Phillips.
Tom Holland is an English actor best known for playing Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
He has starred or co-starred as the character in five films.
Before Spider-Man, Holland was one of four actor/dancers to play Billy Elliott, a fictional British youth who made his way out of a tough, working-class neighborhood by taking ballet lessons.
