Immersive X-Men 2023 fan con Uncanny Experience brings Marvel to life

Next year X-Men fans can convene in Minneapolis to attend panels, photo ops, and meet and greets with real X-Men celebrities — while also playing around in a setting modeled after the Xavier School itself.

The Uncanny Experience is the inaugural event of Giant-Size Productions — which is unaffiliated with Marvel Entertainment — and it promises to transform the stately architecture of the Minneapolis Club with “unique immersion elements in a historic X-Mansion-like environment.” The Uncanny Experience will also include a cosplay contest, panels, signings, and star guests to rival any comic con, including X-Men architect Chris Claremont and talent from Disney Plus’ upcoming X-Men Animated Series revival, X-Men ‘97. For a Giant Size news release:

Each attendee will get an Uncanny Student ID badge to enter the event, take Instagram-worthy photos in the historic venue, meet our special guests through booth signings & panels, attend classes on various topics like Mutant History and Understanding tarot with Tarot, enjoy the free-play video arcade room (chili fries not included), and find fellow mutant enthusiasts. […]This weekend ends with the Graduation Ceremony. Those in attendance will be presented with their diplomas if they have completed the Immersive Experience activations located throughout the mansion.

Minneapolis, Minnesota will host the Uncanny Experience on September 16th and 17th in 2023. This is right around when X-Men ‘97 is — at the moment — slated to premiere.
