Cosplays are some of the best parts about going to any major convention or fan event, as it’s a pleasure getting to see the sheer talent and creativity on display as fans embody their favorite characters with either faithful renditions that bring them from the screen into real life, or with slight changes made to make a design truly unique. This was no different when Screen Rant attended MCM London Comic Con between May 24-26, as there was a wealth of cosplay on display from across all kinds of pop culture.

As shared on the official Screen Rant X account over the weekend, these included designs from movies and TV, such as functional Iron Man armor, movie-accurate Batsuits, a giant Stitch mascot suit from Lilo and Stitch, Din Djarin’s Beskar armor from The Mandalorian, and even a guitar-playing Howard the Duck blasting out Guns N’ Roses. With the cast of many major gaming franchises in attendance at the event, such as Sonic the Hedgehog, The Legend of Zelda, and Baldur’s Gate, gamers turned up in droves to represent their favorite characters as well. With so many impressive costumes on display, it was impossible to see everyone, but here are 10 of the best that Screen Rant saw over the weekend.

Skyward Sword & Breath Of The Wild Zeldas, And Link

The Legend of Zelda

With The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild‘s Patricia Summersett (Zelda), Sean Chiplock (Revali, Teba, Great Deku Tree), and Cristina Vee (Tulin) in attendance all weekend, and a Center Stage panel for the trio on Sunday, unlimitedvoidboi, Makahiia, and Lottsofrandom92 represented the long-running adventure series with their cosplayers. unlimitedvoidboi donned the iconic green tunic of Link, while Makahiia and Lottsofrandom92 embodied two different games’ versions of Zelda, from Skyward Sword and Tears of the Kingdom, respectively.

Revan, Ahsoka, And Kal Kestis

Star Wars

As previously mentioned, Star Wars was well-represented at MCM London Comic Con, with many Mandalorians, Stormtroopers, and Jedi to be seen across the Excel Center. Alongside auburnrosiebelle’s impressive Ahsoka Tano from Star Wars‘ TV shows such as The Clone Wars, Rebels and her standalone series Ahsoka, duley.171189 and rob.mcgowan7 delved into the gaming side of the franchise with their depictions of Knights of the Old Republic‘s Revan, and Jedi: Fallen Order‘s Cal Kestis, respectively, complete with the poncho that Kestis’ actor Cameron Monaghan is so fond of!

Astarion, Lae’zel, Dark Urge, Gale, And Minthara

Baldur’s Gate 3

Baldur’s Gate 3 had two panels over the course of the weekend, the first of which focused on some of the cast and their voice directors, and the second of which consisted entirely of cast members, particularly the voices of the Tavs, and those involved in the Dark Urge story. This group of cosplayers embodied fan favorites from the game such as the Githyanki soldier Lae’zel (theodorah.holbrook), the vampire spawn Astarion (domovoi_draws), or the wizard Gale (jxckk.t and firered_green), while also representing the Dark Urge (braydenjoel04) and Minthara (skullash98), whose actors, Neil Roberts and Emma Gregory were present at the event.

Wario

Super Mario

onyxsonyx not only looked the part as Super Mario Land 2 antagonist and Wario Land antihero Wario, but also perfectly encapsulated the character’s personality on cue, fully committing to the bit as they struck a larger-than-life pose resembling Wario’s laugh in the games. Alongside getting the striking yellow and purple attire spot on, onyxsonyx had a fake nose and mustache and used face paint to create Wario’s large cartoonish eyes, truly bringing the character to life.

Lady Dimitrescu

Resident Evil Village

Ever since Countess Alcina Dimitrescu appeared in the promotional material for 2021’s Resident Evil Village, it was clear she would be a fan-favorite character, becoming the topic of many conversations in the run-up to the game’s launch, and while the terrifying vampiric villain ultimately didn’t appear that much in the final game, with all of her scenes equating to roughly 18 minutes out of the game’s 9-and-a-half hour-long story, the character still left quite the impression on fans, and Para.syke’s cosplay truly brought her to life, with thick-soled boots creating the height that the statuesque character is known for.

Helldiver

Helldivers 2

With the breakout success of Arrowhead Game Studios’ Helldivers 2 in February this year on PlayStation 5 and PC, it seemed inevitable that MCM London Comic Con would feature several cosplayers wanting to do their part to represent Super Earth and unleash some managed Democracy. andabata3d’s 3D-printed armor and weapons look as if they could have been pulled straight from the game into the real world, especially when combined with the recreation of the Victory emote pose from the game.

Nurses

Silent Hill

Cringeycosplaysz and Raidaids’ Silent Hill cosplays were certainly some of the creepier ones present at MCM London Comic Con. The Silent Hill franchise’s nurses have appeared in nearly every game in the series in some form or another and are one of the more well-known monsters in the franchise along with the likes of Silent Hill 2‘s Pyramid Head, representing the recurring themes of hospitalization, insanity, and death that appear throughout the series, as the town of Silent Hill manifests characters’ anxieties or fears surrounding these topics.

Mad Moxxi

Borderlands

The hostess of Borderlands‘ Colosseum and owner of various bars on Pandora, the sadistic, innuendo-spewing Mad Moxxi has been a mainstay throughout the Borderlands series, appearing in nearly every game in the franchise so far. Moxxi was brought to life in incredible detail for MCM London Comic Con by leaacosplayer, who also used make-up to recreate the cel-shaded art style the games are known for and truly bring the character off the screen into the real world.

NCR Ranger

Fallout New Vegas

With the success of Amazon’s live-action Fallout show, many are either revisiting or visiting the world of the games for the first time, with the franchise as a whole seeing a resurgence in popularity as of late – particularly Fallout: New Vegas due to one particular moment in the show. This was evident by the sheer number of vault dwellers present at MCM London Comic Con, but that_cosplayguy’s New California Republic (NCR) Ranger stood out due to its impressive light-up helmet mirroring the look of the character in the promotional artwork for the game, along with a massive NCR flag that could be seen across the convention floor, making That Cosplay Guy hard to miss!

Sub-Zero

Mortal Kombat

One of the coolest cosplays of the weekend – no pun intended – was finishhimcosplay’s Sub-Zero from the Mortal Kombat franchise. Not only was it a faithful and incredibly detailed recreation of the character’s design, but a holographic light display and lights built into his mask truly brought Sub-Zero’s icy powers to life. The holographic display creates the effect of Sub Zero charging up for the iconic Snowball Grenade Fatality move from the games, in which he creates a small orb of ice and launches it at the opponent, detonating it within their chest.
