OMG OMG OMG! Mark Gatiss, actor, co-creator and executive producer of Sherlock and Dr. Who will be attending Mumbai Film and Comic Con 2014 in December! This is the first time ever that Comic Con India is bringing in an international actor as a special guest, and our inner geeks are dancing like a new Sherlock season has just arrived. From December 19-21’ 2014, fans of Sherlock in India will be treated with a special session at Mumbai Film and Comic Con by Mark Gatiss himself. At the session he will talk about his work on global hits Doctor Who and Sherlock and will answer the questions from fans about both the previous seasons and the forthcoming special, which begins filming in 2015. Also, he will sign exclusive posters for the fans at the convention. I think I’m going to camp out at Bombay Exhibition Centre from now only.

Confirming his presence, Mark said:

“Stage Two of World Domination complete! I’m thrilled to be coming to India, a country I’ve always wanted to visit, and I can’t wait to meet all the Doctor Who and Sherlock fans in Mumbai.”

Comic Con India is dedicated to expanding India’s popular culture by creating high profile events that cater to fans of not only comics, but also, gaming, movies, television, merchandise, toys and more. If they’ve got Mark this year… can we just hope that a certain someone might make an appearance next year?
