MÁLAGA, May 14, 2026 – One of the most anticipated film meetings of the year already has a date: Elijah Wood and Sean Astin will attend San Diego Comic-Con Málaga 2026 on October 3 and 4. This historic meeting promoted by the convention will bring together for the first time in Spain the main pair of The Lord of the Rings, one of the most influential trilogies in the history of cinema, coinciding with the 25th anniversary of its premiere. The agenda of both actors includes their participation in official panels, signing sessions and photos with fans.

Elijah Wood ‘s career spans more than three decades and is characterized by versatility. Beyond his role as the memorable Frodo Baggins, Wood has stood out for his work in independent cinema -winning the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance for I’m not comfortable in this world anymore-and his recent consolidation in the television industry with titles such as Yellowjackets.

For his part, Sean Astin will always be Samsagaz Gamyi in The Lord of the Rings, and he also brings a background that spans acting, directing and producing. Oscar-nominated for his short film Kangaroo Court, Astin has maintained a steady presence in the industry since his debut in The Goonies, appearing in such high-profile productions as the 24 series, the sports drama Rudy and the classic Samsagaz Gamyi in The Lord of the Rings.
