Spider-Man is landing in Abu Dhabi. Andrew Garfield, the star of The Amazing Spider-Man, has been confirmed as the headline guest for the Middle East Film & Comic Con (MEFCC) 2025. The blockbuster event returns to the ADNEC Centre from April 19 to 20, promising a weekend packed with celebrity appearances, anime icons, and all things pop culture.

Garfield, a Golden Globe and Tony Award-winning actor, played Peter Parker in the fan-favourite Spider-Man films from 2012 to 2014 and made a surprise return in Spider-Man: No Way Home.
