The Lineup
Edmonton Comic and Entertainment Expo has announced its first major guest lineup for 2026: four cast members from The Boys, the Amazon Prime Video series that just wrapped its five-season run last week.
Karl Urban, Erin Moriarty, Tomer Capone, and Colby Minifie are all confirmed for Edmonton Expo, running September 18–20 at the Edmonton Expo Centre. Fans can meet them through autograph sessions, photo opportunities, and live Q&A panels across the three-day weekend. More guests will be announced in the coming weeks.
Who They Are
If you haven't watched The Boys, here's the short version: it's a dark satirical take on the superhero genre where corporations own the superheroes, the supes are corrupt, and a ragtag group of ordinary people the Boys spend five seasons trying to bring them down.
Karl Urban plays Billy Butcher, the foul-mouthed, relentless leader of the Boys. Urban is a New Zealand actor most recognizable from the Lord of the Rings trilogy, the rebooted Star Trek films, and the 2012 cult film Dredd. Butcher is the role he's probably best known for internationally, and he's been playing the character since the show launched in 2019.
Erin Moriarty plays Annie January, known publicly as the superhero Starlight. Over the course of the series she goes from corporate supe to the moral centre of the resistance against Vought International the fictional conglomerate that controls the superhero industry. Moriarty has been in the show since season one.
Tomer Capone plays Frenchie, the team's weapons expert and one of the show's most emotionally complex characters. Capone is an Israeli actor who had no Hollywood credits before The Boys the role was his international breakthrough.
Colby Minifie plays Ashley Barrett, Vought's perpetually stressed head of communications, a character who started as comic relief and grew into one of the show's most watchable regulars. Minifie is a New York-born actress who has appeared in Fear the Walking Dead and other series but is best known for this role.
Why the Timing Matters
The Boys season five the final season finished airing May 20, the day before this announcement dropped. Amazon reported the final season averaged 57 million viewers per episode, the highest numbers the show has ever posted. These four actors are arriving in Edmonton four months after the show they spent seven years making came to an end.
That's a different energy than a cast showing up mid-run. Fans who want to talk about how it all ended the finale, the character arcs, what comes next for everyone will have that chance.
