Marvel brings the X-Men’s Hellfire Gala to life at San Diego Comic-Con 2023.
On May 19, the upcoming event was announced by Marvel in a statement explaining that she and D23: The Official Disney Fan Club “cordially invite you to the first-ever actual Hellfire Gala.” The statement also implores attendees to “dress in their best superpowered style and make sure to bring their mutant fashion game to the green carpet.”
The Hellfire Gala event at San Diego Comic-Con is inspired by the comic book crossover of the same name which debuted in 2021 and featured the mutant nation of Krakoa going all out for an evening to remember, complete with mutants and humans appearing at their best to shock and amaze both the crowd and the world at large. Since then, the Hellfire Gala has become an annual event, which tends to attract the attention of Moira MacTaggert and other Marvel villains.
