Langford’s Island FanCon has scored a star guest whose towering presence may blow the minds of Game of Thrones fans attending the Comic-Con-like event.

Hafthor Julius Bjornsson will appear on both days of the April 13 to 14 convention at City Centre Park, where he’ll meet with fans, sign autographs and speak at a panel.

The 6’9” Icelandic strongman is best known for his portrayal of Gregor ‘The Mountain’ Clegane in HBO’s hit series Game of Thrones, where he grabbed the eyes of viewers while starring in major scenes alongside stars like Pedro Pascal.
