FanX Salt Lake Comic Convention adds lethal weapon to its already ponent list of 2024 celebrities; Mel Gibson is coming to FanX

Salt Lake City — On September 26-28, 2024 Mel Gibson won’t be in Utah just for the gas, he’ll be here for something far more important, his first-ever fan convention;  FanX Salt Lake Comic Convention at the Salt Palace Convention Center in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah. 

“Mel expressed an interest in attending fan conventions and as he and his agent looked for the best one, they talked to other celebrities and quickly discovered that FanX is one of the celebrities’ favorites,” said Dan Farr, FanX Salt Lake Comic Convention Founder and Show Producer. “I say this all the time and it’s true, our fans have helped us develop such a good reputation amongst celebrities that they all want to come to Salt Lake to meet and interact with our fans and that’s what attracted Mel to FanX.”

Gibson is best known for his roles as Max Rockatansky in the first three Mad Max movies and Martin Riggs in the Lethal Weapon series. Over the course of his career, he’s starred in some of the biggest box office successes, including Braveheart, Man Without a Face, The Passion of the Christ, Apocalypto and Hacksaw Ridge.
