Fan Fusion 2024 highs and lows: Dick Van Dyke, the GOAT, gets 2 standing ovations
The Phoenix Fan Fusion 2024 comic con and pop culture convention took over the Phoenix Convention Center downtown on Memorial Day weekend and it was an entire scene.
There were celebrity guests — including the beloved actor Dick Van Dyke, 98, who drew so many fans that an overflow room was needed — plus game tournaments, autograph signings, fan panels, cosplay contests and fandom meetups, and that only scratches the surface.
In addition to Van Dyke, celebs at Fan Fusion included Marvel and "Barbie" actor Simu Liu (who talked about his Phoenix connections), Dee Bradley Baker, Giancarlo Esposito, Dante Basco and Gina Torres.
Here are the best, worst and most surprising moments we saw at Phoenix Fan Fusion 2024.
High: So many people came to see Dick Van Dyke that they needed 2 rooms
Dick Van Dyke, the 98-year-old actor known for his roles in “Mary Poppins”, “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang” and “The Dick Van Dyke Show,” received a standing ovation as he took the Phoenix Fan Fusion stage in the West 301BCD ballroom at 10:45 a.m. Sunday.
A line several hundred fans deep had formed over an hour before his panel was scheduled to start. Van Dyke's appearance was so highly anticipated that an overflow room was available for fans to listen in live from large screens broadcasting the event.
“I wouldn’t miss it,” Van Dyke said of Phoenix Fan Fusion. He recalled visiting Harold’s Cave Creek Corral during past visits.
Van Dyke said he never considered any other profession than acting, from the time he was a teenager inspired by movies like “The Wizard of Oz.”
“I never had to work a day in my life. I just played and they paid me,” Van Dyke said.
He spent much of the panel reminiscing about his “Mary Poppins” costars such as Julie Andrews (Mary Poppins), who Van Dyke said “always had an elegance about her,” and Ed Wynn (Uncle Albert), who Van Dyke said would carry a radio around during filming, but he “never saw him listening to it. Then one day I saw him open it up and there was a flask of bourbon inside it.”
He also remembered working with Walt Disney. “I loved Walt. I got to know him very well. He was a quiet man, but once you got him talking about animation he could go forever,” he said.
But he had the most fun filming “The Dick Van Dyke Show,” which ran from 1961-1966, calling the experience “the happiest five years of my life.”
When asked what advice he had for young people who dream of becoming performers, Van Dyke said, “Do your own thing. So many people just go through the same motions they’ve seen other actors do.”
By doing his own thing since his youth, he’s solidified himself as a Hollywood legend. Though he’s humble when addressed as such.
“Everyone I worked with or knew is in heaven. I’m the last one of my generation. If I knew I was going to live this long I would’ve taken better care of myself,” he said.
The 98-year-old actor said he goes to the gym three days a week, which he thinks “makes a difference.”
Van Dyke received another standing ovation at the end of his panel, the “Mary Poppins” song “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” playing through the speakers as he added his autograph to the Phoenix Fan Fusion sign on the stage. Guests sang and clapped along as they exited the room.

Low: Sunday panels got a bit of a late start
Dick Van Dyke’s panel was scheduled to begin at 10:30 a.m. Sunday but he didn’t take the stage until past 10:45. The crowd was gracious - the beloved actor is nearly 100 years old. But with such a packed schedule of events and limited time to take it all in, every minute counts.
Especially for highly anticipated panels such as Van Dyke’s, which had fans lined up all the way down the third floor hallway over an hour before the panel began. After spending an hour waiting to get into the room, and another 15 minutes after 10:30 a.m. waiting for the actor to appear, that means less time to explore the exhibit hall, get autographs, meet up with cosplayers or attend other panels.
The noon panel with Dee Bradley Baker started closer to its scheduled time.

High: 'I like being weird,' Dee Bradley Baker tells Fan Fusion crowd
Dee Bradley Baker immediately started doing character voices when he got on stage for his noon Sunday panel, such as the sound of Perry the Platypus on “Phineas and Ferb” and Momo and Appa from “Avatar: The Last Airbender.”
“It’s more freeing to do a nonhuman, nonspeaking role. I have an internal Rolodex of creatures and monsters to pull from,” Baker said. “I look at doing monsters and creatures and aliens as a mode of acting. I’m not sure if I’m an actor. But I like being weird, letting out the weirdness and creature sounds.”
But he doesn’t just do monsters. One of Baker’s best known roles is as the clones in “Star Wars: The Clone Wars.”
He was a Star Wars fan since childhood, so it was gratifying to become part of the franchise, he said. But if he could play any other Star Wars character, he said he’d want to be a tauntaun, the giant snow lizards on the planet Hoth in “The Empire Strikes Back.”
Meeting fans of all of his different works, from Star Wars to Disney Channel and Nickelodeon shows, is his favorite part of Phoenix Fan Fusion.
“It’s what I love about these conventions. All mythologies, all enthusiasms, all oddities are all welcomed. There’s something really beautiful about it,” Baker said. “This is how humans should be living, how we should be treating each other all the time.”

High: Phoenix Gaymer lounge provides a safe space to decompress
The Phoenix Gaymer diversity lounge on the second floor of the west building at Phoenix Convention Center provides a safe space to game or just take a break from the hectic Fan Fusion 2024.
Shane Blissett has been in charge of the lounge for several years, taking over the concept that was started by a local autism group in 2013.
The idea, Blissett said, is to provide a safe space for people who might feel marginalized or unsafe. It is a place to decompress with board games, video games, coloring and soothing live music.
“Everybody is welcome here,” Blissett said.
Phoenix Gaymers is 501c3 nonprofit started in 2005. Blissett said its mission is to bridge the gaps among the LGBTQ+ community with a shared love of gaming.
“The LGBTQ+ community was cliquish, especially 20 years ago when we started. You had the drag community, the club kids, the leather community, but if you were a nerd into sci-fi there wasn’t a space for us at that time,” Blissett said.
Outside of Fan Fusion, Phoenix Gaymers holds monthly game nights, ice cream or pizza socials and random “side quest” events such as bowling, hiking and dodgeball. Find out more at Phoenixgaymers.com.

Low: Shameik Moore canceled
Shameik Moore, the voice actor who plays Miles Morales in “Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse,” was scheduled to appear for autograph signings throughout the weekend, including a panel on Sunday afternoon.
But after running up to the third floor in anticipation of the panel only to be met with disappointment at his absence, a Fan Fusion staff member said the actor had canceled before the beginning of the convention for unknown reasons. However, his name still appeared in the event program.

High: K-pop fans find their community at Fan Fusion
Sunday was heaven for K-pop fans at Phoenix Fan Fusion.
At 1:30 p.m. fans filled a room with music and dancing for the BTS random dance-play, a game in which a BTS song plays and anyone who knows the choreography can get up and show off their moves. The song changes randomly, hence the name.
And at the "K-Pop in Arizona" panel at 3 p.m., the fans behind the Instagram page @sunsetkpopevents shared information about how to find K-pop friends in the community, from cupsleeve events to dance nights and more.
The panelists’ two hosts, Emma Chastain and Lindsay Hodge, also advocated for more K-pop concerts in Arizona.
“Phoenix is the fifth biggest city in the U.S. but BTS and Twice wouldn’t come here,” Chastain said
Groups including ATEEZ, NCT 127, Stray Kids and Enhypen have played in Phoenix recently, hopefully putting the city on the map for future K-pop concerts.
“I want to share the positive experience that I’ve had with other people and extend opportunities to experience the amazing things I have. A lot of people don’t know about the K-pop community in Arizona,” Chastain told The Republic.
“A lot of people who are just getting into K-pop don’t talk about it because some people find it weird, but at Fan Fusion the environment is very welcoming. Everyone can be weird here, so it’s a great place to share something as non traditional as K-pop,” Chastain said.

High: 'I am a villain through and through,' Giancarlo Esposito says
Giancarlo Esposito, renowned for his roles in "The Mandalorian" and "Breaking Bad," has transcended the screen to become a motivational force. Drawing from his diverse career, he inspires audiences to pursue their passions. From his beginnings in musical theater to roles in video games like "Far Cry," Esposito embodies the essence of following one's dreams.
At Fan Fusion on Saturday, Esposito shared an insight he had while working with director Francis Ford Coppola on the movie "Megalopolis":
“I had some minor disagreements with him in certain points, wanting to know what he was doing, and I had a big realization in the press conference at Cannes: I learned a lot about me, I learned a lot about trust and I learned a lot about surrender,” said Esposito.
Seamlessly weaving anecdotes from his performances in "The Mandalorian" and "Breaking Bad," Esposito effortlessly used humor and relatability to connect with the audience. And he knows what draws fans to his work.
“I am a villain through and through. I love all my characters,” said Esposito.

Want to see Giancarlo Esposito in the MCU? Here's what to do
A fan asked Giancarlo Esposito about rumors of him joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
“The MCU has knocked on my door," Esposito said. "It’s not a role you can predict. It will be a tease first and there be a a show next. Fan casting is real, Marvel hears all of you, keep tweeting out there because we hear you,” said Esposito.
He also said he wants to be in a lead in a romcom, which he's working on as well.

High: Fuse your fandom with philanthropy
You can’t walk through any con or fan event without running into incredibly accurate Star Wars cosplayers. I’m talking costumes so authentic they looked like they walked off the film sets.

These nonprofit groups do more than just show up at cons for killer photo ops - they participate in charitable events and share a mission to bring joy across the galaxy - and Arizona - for a good cause.

High: Dante Basco tells why we root for the bad guy
As Dante Basco made his grand entrance on Saturday, the crowd erupted into a chant of "Rufio!" to which Basco replied with his "Hook" character's catchphrase "Bangarang!"
Basco reminisced about working with the late Robin Williams on the set of "Hook" in his adolescence and credits Williams' "Dead Poets Society" as the reason he started his own poetry club that's still active today.
But "Hook" was just the beginning for Basco, who went on to voice Zuko in "Avatar: The Last Airbender."
Basic said he never anticipated "Avatar: The Last Airbender" becoming such a phenomenon.
"We're talking about genocide and abuse, parental abuse on a kids show ... The person who we think is the villain of the show can actually be your best friend. They're not even villains, they're adversaries. There's a Zuko in all of us and we all want to be redeemed for the things we've done."

High: Natasha Liu Bordizzo confirms 'Ahsoka' Season 2
Natasha Liu Bordizzo, who stars in the Star Wars spinoff "Ahsoka," reflected on her multifaceted journey during her panel on Saturday, weaving through the worlds of entertainment, adventure and nature.
Growing up in Australia, she cultivated a deep love for the outdoors, yet her passion for storytelling drew her to acting. She has also had roles in "The Greatest Showman,” “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny,” “The Society.”
To portray Ahsoka, Bordizzo embraced the challenge of martial arts and stunts to bring authenticity to her performance.
“I did do a lot of stunts in Ahsoka .... we went to Jedi and mando boot camp for three months,” said Bordizzo.
Bordizzo shared that there will be a Season 2 of "Ahsoka" and hinted at collabs with other Star Wars projects.
“Hopefully down the line there will be a lot of collaboration with the Star Wars projects,” said Bordizzo.

High: Who ya gonna call when your cosplay needs a rescue? The cosplay medic
Despite cosplayers' best efforts, costume or prop malfunctions can happen. That's where the Cosplay Medic steps in. Alfredo Recillas is here to keep the fantasy alive.
“I couldn’t cosplay myself for a long time because I couldn’t find anything that fit for me. So this was something I can do to make someone’s day or weekend better by fixing their stuff,” Recillas said.
With skillful hands and a keen eye for detail, Reciillas keeps the illusion alive for cosplayers facing wardrobe malfunctions or needing last-minute alterations.
“From what I remember cosplaying, things would break and I would be like, ‘Welp, day's ruined’ and you would stress out about that one little thing and no matter what, even though no one would notice it, it was always in the back of your mind. It could be a small seam, could be a small little plastic ornament on a helmet, whatever. Big or small, epoxy or glue, I’m here to get those things fixed,” said Recillas.
The Cosplay Medic's services are rendered free of charge.
“I do it for absolutely free. The convention doesn’t hire me and it’s all fully out of pocket,” said Recillas.

Low: Be prepared to wait in line for the big panelists
If you’re coming to Phoenix Fan Fusion 2024 for the special guests and celebrity panels, expect to wait in line. And even if you do, you might not get in.
On Saturday, a massive line to see Dante Basco, star of “Avatar: The Last Airbender” and “Hook,” started forming an hour before his 1:45 p.m. panel. The room hit capacity and some fans were turned away.
A choice must be made: Miss out on an hour's worth of Fan Fusion fun or be sure of getting a seat to see your favorite panelist. The choice is yours.

“The call hasn’t come yet,” said Torres.
Torres has now shifted gears and become a producer, shaping the stories from behind the scenes.
“I’m starting to produce. I’m a producer now so I am trying to make the story happen to show it all to you,” said Torres.

High: Anime cosplayers are a level above
Amid the vibrant array of cosplayers from realms including Star Wars, Marvel, DC and video games on Saturday, it's the anime enthusiasts who are truly stealing the spotlight at Phoenix Fan Fusion 2024.
Dressed as iconic characters from Dragon Ball Z, One Piece, Jujutsu Kaisen, Demon Slayer and Studio Ghibli classics, they bring a dynamic energy and creativity that sets them apart. With their intricate costumes, attention to detail and passionate portrayals, anime fans reign supreme, embodying the spirit of Fan Fusion.
“I’m dressed at a kyoshi warrior from Avatar the Last Airbender," said Julia Jonas. "I didn’t start watching the show until it came on Netflix and I was drawn to Suki, who is a kyoshi warrior. I thought she was badass but it also shows how empowered women can be. Plus, my costume is super comfortable.”

High: Get inked to proudly declare your Fan Fusion fandom
Some Phoenix Fan Fusion fans go beyond cosplay, choosing to etch their passion into their skin.
From the intricate symbols of anime to the iconic emblems of Fallout, Harry Potter's magical motifs, superhero insignia and the timeless imagery of Star Wars, tattoo artists at the Phoenix Convention Center wield their needles like wands, crafting bespoke designs that embody the essence of each universe.
Prices range from $100 to $800, reflecting the complexity and size of the tattoo.
“We are really passionate about nerdy tattoos," said Tony Skiba, employee at Golden Rule Tattoo. "We love nerd culture, so I think it’s really awesome that people love something so much that they can get something on their body so they can show it off how much they love it forever,”

High: Simu Liu dishes on Adam Sandler, George Clooney and Phoenix Suns
During his panel on Friday, Marvel and "Barbie" actor Simu Liu cracked many jokes and shared his family connections to Arizona.
Liu has worn many hats in his life. He is an actor, writer, dancer, singer, filmmaker and producer, to name a few.
He made lighthearted jokes about Adam Sandler, George Clooney, the Phoenix Suns and even himself when he got a little bit emotional while talking about his grandparents.
His film "Atlas," with Jennifer Lopez, Lana Parrilla and Sterling K. Brown, is out on Netflix.
“It’s better than its Rotten Tomato score I promise,” Liu said.
Edward Meza Jr. from Gilbert wanted to see Liu because he is a Marvel fan.
"I really like Shang-Chi, he's one of the good new editions to the Marvel Universe, so I'm excited to see what he has to say about any of his work," Meza Jr. said.

High: Travis J. Hansen will draw you a free picture
Travis J. Hansen draws the characters, cartoons and graphics for Phoenix Fan Fusion. He has a booth in the Exhibit Hall called Life of the Party where he offers up free drawings for customers.
He's been drawing at the show since it was in Mesa. Hansen said he drew phoenixes and Fan Fusion finally asked him if he would draw and help them with the show, "I've always been there," he said.
You might see some of Hansen's drawings on the banners and all across the program guide.
Hansen, who is from Southern California, has been coming to the shows for 20 years.
"I just love drawing. I like it. I've been doing it for 30 years," Hansen said.

High: Here's where to stage your perfect photo op
You worked hard on your cosplay, so you deserve some great pictures of it. Maybe you want to pose with someone whose cosplay is top notch. (Pro tip: Ask first.) Whatever your reason, there are plenty of spaces around the Phoenix Convention Center to take the perfect pic.
In Sunset + Meteor’s Camp Carnival, a huge Lego poster in front of the Lego Lounge has the words "Fan Fusion" printed on it. In front of Symphony Hall, there's a Phoenix Fan Fusion background in red and black. Outside the Exhibit Hall, the Fan Fusion background has drawings of characters.

High: Cinderella came all the way from Texas
Katie Whiteside traveled all the way from Tyler, Texas, to attend Phoenix Fan Fusion 2024.
She donned a Cinderella costume on Friday and plans on being the Lamb from the video game Cult of the Lamb – a costume she built herself top to bottom – on Saturday. On Sunday, she'll likely dress as Cinderella again. Her favorite part of the comic con? The people she meets.
“I love meeting people,” Whiteside said. “I love getting to know them, learning about their story and making really good friends that I get to go home with.”
Whiteside happily took pictures with little kids who looked at her in her flowing pale blue gown with such joy. She dresses as Cinderella in honor of her deceased father, whom she describes as someone who was “so funny and zany and super theatrical.”

Low: Is Fan Fusion a little too much?
If you’re a newbie, Fan Fusion can be a little bit overwhelming. Immediately upon walking into the Phoenix Convention Center, I was met not only with a crowd of people but also a lot of options on which way to head.
It can take some time to figure out the layout and decide where to go. In the haze of trying to make up your mind, take care not to accidentally walk into someone’s wings.
If you're attending with friends, choose a spot to meet up in case you get separated.

High: Getting into Day 1 of Phoenix Fan Fusion was easy breezy
The Phoenix Convention Center doors open for Fan Fusion open and 10 a.m. and there was no mad rush to get in at that hour on Friday. There's even a water station to keep you hydrated in line.
The only oddity was that the line for people with bags was going quicker than the no-bag line. VIP ticketholders have the shortest line. Have your badge handy and expect to have your props and bags scrutinized by security staff.
