Andrew Garfield is swinging into the UAE. The Golden Globe and Tony Award-winning actor — best known as Peter Parker in The Amazing Spider-Man films and Spider-Man: No Way Home — headlines this year's Middle East Film & Comic Con (MEFCC) in Abu Dhabi, making it one of the most anticipated pop-culture events the region has ever seen.
MEFCC 2025 takes place at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC) from April 18 to 20, 2025. The largest comic con in the Middle East, it promises a weekend packed with film, television, anime, cosplay, and celebrity interactions — and this edition is shaping up to be the biggest yet.

Fans attending MEFCC will get a rare chance to meet Garfield in person. He is set to appear for fan interactions where he will discuss his adventures in the Marvel multiverse, what it's like playing the iconic web-slinger, and life as Spider-Man beyond the mask.
Garfield first portrayed Peter Parker in The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014), before reprising the role in Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) — a moment that sent cinema audiences worldwide into a frenzy.
