Comic Con Dominican Republic has announced its third edition will take place on Saturday, October 24 and Sunday, October 25, 2026, at Puerto San Souci.
Organisers confirmed that the event in Santo Domingo Este will serve as the country's main convention for pop culture, comic books, anime, video games, and entertainment.
The festival forms part of a major regional circuit of geek culture events across Central America and the Caribbean. Previous editions in the region have featured prominent international actors, including Giancarlo Esposito, Pom Klementieff, Tyler Hoechlin, Finn Jones, Tom Wlaschiha, Carlos Villagrán, and René García.
British actress and musician Natalia Tena has been announced as the headline guest for the 2026 convention. Tena gained international fame for playing Nymphadora Tonks in the Harry Potter movie series and Osha in the HBO television drama Game of Thrones. She is also known as the lead singer of the musical group Molotov Jukebox.
International voice actors and cosplayers
The international guest list includes three prominent voice actors from Latin America alongside a globally recognised cosplay duo. Mexican voice actor and director Mike Leal, who began his career at seven years old, is among the featured guests. Leal is widely known across Spanish-speaking America for voicing Ash Ketchum in Pokémon since season 13 and playing Eren Jaeger, the central character in Attack on Titan.
Venezuelan voice actor, broadcaster, and director Luis Carreño will also meet fans at the event. Carreño has served as the official Spanish Latin voice of SpongeBob SquarePants continuously since 2000, bringing Nickelodeon's flagship animated character to Latin American audiences.
