Natural Six And David Tennant Headline MCM Comic Con

Fans can look forward to exciting panels and meet-and-greet opportunities with beloved stars this May.

As excitement builds for the upcoming MCM Comic Con, fans are buzzing about the return of Natural Six, a popular Dungeons & Dragons group, alongside the appearance of Doctor Who icon David Tennant. The event will take place from Friday, May 23, 2025, to Sunday, May 25, 2025, at Excel London, promising a weekend filled with engaging panels, celebrity guests, and unforgettable experiences.

Natural Six, which debuted live on stage at EGX in 2023, is a UK-based Dungeons & Dragons Actual Play video series featuring well-known video game personalities. The group consists of Harry McEntire, Ben Starr, Hollie Bennett, Alex Jordan, Doug Cockle, and Aoife Wilson. They have garnered a significant following, publishing new episodes on their YouTube channel every Tuesday.

On Friday, May 23, at 4:00 PM, Natural Six will take to the Main Stage for a live D&D session, showcasing a unique adventure set within their established world. The following day, Saturday, May 24, at 2:45 PM, they will host a panel titled "Smash or Pass (Without Trace)" on the Centre Stage. This panel promises to be a fun exploration of the D&D Monster Manual, where the cast will decide which creatures could capture their hearts—though attendees should be warned that it will include strong language and sexual themes.

Fans eager to meet the cast can find them in the Meet & Greet Zone on Friday at 12:00 PM and Saturday at 4:30 PM, with free signed posters available while supplies last. Additionally, autographs with Alex, Doug, and Harry will be offered on Saturday at 11:00 AM.

Meanwhile, David Tennant, known for his roles in Doctor Who, Good Omens, and more, will also be attending MCM Comic Con. Tennant's return to the convention scene is highly anticipated, especially as he will be available for a spotlight panel and signing/photo opportunities on Saturday, May 24. He is celebrated for his portrayal of the Tenth Doctor in Doctor Who from 2005 to 2010, and again in 2023, making him a beloved figure among fans of the series.

Born in Paisley, Scotland, Tennant has built a distinguished career spanning three decades across film, television, and stage. His work in various acclaimed series, including Staged and Broadchurch, has solidified his status as a versatile and talented actor. The excitement surrounding his participation in MCM Comic Con is palpable, especially following recent announcements of other notable guests, including Brooklyn Nine-Nine star Stephanie Beatriz and PlayStation’s Miles Morales actor Nadji Jeter.
