There’s always a risk that stars will have to cancel their con appearances. Sam Heughan has canceled before, but will it happen at Wizard World Chicago 2021?
Something I always say when it comes to conventions is not to go there for one particular star. There is always the chance that a star will cancel, and the tickets aren’t refundable (outside of those specific for the actor). It means you’re left with a convention ticket you may not want to go to, and you don’t get your money back.
However, Sam Heughan doesn’t do many conventions. He is Outlander‘s biggest male star and he has now become a huge brand. This is no longer the case of him being an actor on a premium cable show. He’s a growing name in Hollywood and he is building brands in fitness, whiskey, and more.
So, he is in high demand. If you even want the chance to meet him, a ticket to Wizard World Chicago 2021 is the way to do it.
Will Sam Heughan cancel Wizard Word Chicago 2021?
If you had tickets to Wizard World Chicago a few years ago, you may be on the hesitant side for 2021. Both Heughan and Caitriona Balfe canceled their appearances due to schedule conflicts.
It is possible that it could happen again, but it is less likely. Unless a big movie comes up with a clashing schedule, it’s more likely that Heughan will be able to make it this time. It’s a production schedule that is going to be the most likely problem, but he and his agents will try to avoid that happening again.
NYCC is only a week earlier, so he’s already going to be in the United States, limiting the risk of canceling due to flight problems because of the pandemic. He can also make this part of his own Outlander Season 6 promotion, although NYCC is the official event for that.
Yes, there is always a chance he’ll have to cancel, but I don’t see it happening this time. We’ll be sure to keep you updated if there is a scheduling conflict.
