Denise Richards Set for Liverpool Comic Con 2025, Celebrating Fandom and New Ventures

Denise Richards to Reunite with Fans at Liverpool Comic Con 2025

What happens when a Hollywood star known for cult classics, blockbuster comedies, and a dash of reality TV signs up to cross the Atlantic for a fan-fueled weekend? That’s exactly what Denise Richards is bringing to the Liverpool Comic Con, set for May 3–4, 2025, at the city’s Exhibition Centre. If you’ve ever cheered on Carmen Ibáñez in Starship Troopers or laughed at the absurd brilliance of the Scary Movie sequels, this is shaping up as a can't-miss gathering.

Richards doesn’t take her decades-long career for granted, and she makes it clear who has kept her in the spotlight—her fans. She talks about fan conventions as more than just opportunities for autographs, selfies, and panels. For her, meeting supporters face-to-face is a way to give back to the very people who cheer her on from home. “Without fans, I wouldn’t have a career,” she admits. There’s something genuinely refreshing about hearing a movie star talk about conventions not as chores but as highlights—time to catch up with regular folks who’ve turned her films into cult favorites.

From Sci-Fi Commanders to Parody Queens—and a Reality Show in Between

The nostalgia factor here is strong. Richards first hit screens hard with roles like the fearless Carmen Ibáñez in Starship Troopers, a film that’s just as unashamedly over-the-top as it was when it launched in the late ‘90s. That role has only grown in pop culture stature, with new fans discovering the film on streaming platforms and quoting its catchphrases on social media. The Liverpool event will also bring in several of Richards’ former co-stars from the Starship Troopers squad, so expect plenty of panels, photos, and in-jokes between cast members who’ve shared the trenches—on screen, at least.

But Richards isn’t just revisiting old hits. She’s got some new projects up her sleeve, like the just-announced Scary Movie 6. The return to this outrageous, parody-laden comedy series promises to resurrect the style of late-’90s and early 2000s slapstick humor that audiences still can’t get enough of. Richards herself thinks the appeal of Scary Movie hasn’t faded because, “it lets people laugh at the familiar, poke fun at pop culture, and escape for a while.” Don’t expect her to shy away from the ridiculous. Fans can also ask her about her brand new reality show, Denise Richards & Her Wild Things. The series gives a colorful peek at her off-screen life, where Hollywood glam meets everyday chaos.

The guest list at Liverpool Comic Con 2025 is pretty stacked. Alongside Richards, you’ll see big names like Hayden Christensen—Darth Vader himself—and Rosario Dawson, who’s blended action and charisma across the Star Wars universe. With sci-fi, fantasy, and horror legends under one roof, the fan energy will be off the charts.

Richards stands out as someone totally at ease spanning genres, from the battlefield of Klendathu to the absurd corridors of satire and the unpredictable space of reality TV. For anyone attending Liverpool Comic Con, her appearance means the chance to relive favorite moments, sneak a peek at new ones, and join a conversation that keeps fans and stars connected, no matter what the credits say.
