Gradually, more details are being revealed about the San Diego Comic-Con Málaga, which will celebrate its second edition from October 1 to 4. It was recently revealed that actors Elijah Wood and Sean Astin, stars of The Lord of the Rings trilogy, will be in Málaga. The organization has announced the days the actors who play Frodo and Sam, respectively, in the successful saga will be present: October 3 and 4, coinciding with the 25th anniversary of the premiere. The agenda for both actors includes their participation in official panels, signing sessions, and photo ops with attending fans.

Elijah Wood has a career spanning over three decades characterized by versatility. Beyond his role as the memorable Frodo Baggins, Wood has been recognized for his work in independent cinema—winning the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance for I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore—and his recent consolidation in the television industry with titles like Yellowjackets.

Sean Astin will always be Samwise Gamgee in The Lord of the Rings, and also brings a career that spans acting, directing, and producing. Nominated for an Oscar for his short film Kangaroo Court, Astin has maintained a constant presence in the industry since his debut in The Goonies, participating in high-level productions such as the series 24, the sports drama Rudy, and the classic Samwise Gamgee in The Lord of the Rings.
