Shannon Chan-Kent Cancels Comic Con London Appearance Before ExCel Event

Shannon Chan-Kent will no longer attend comic con london at London’s ExCel Centre for health reasons, changing the Death Note guest lineup before the event opens Friday May 22. The convention runs through Sunday May 24, and the scheduled “Twenty Years of Death Note” panel remains on the Main Stage at 1 p.m. Sunday.

ExCel Centre lineup shift

Chan-Kent voiced Misa Amane in Death Note, Christine Sierra in Mobile Suit Gundam 00 and multiple roles including Amy Rose in the US ONA Sonic Prime. Her cancellation leaves a narrower lineup for attendees who were planning around the anime dub reunion, but the convention still lists Brad Swaile, Alessandro Juliani and Brian Drummond among its guests.

Swaile voiced Light in Death Note, Juliani voiced L, and Drummond voiced Ryuk. That keeps the panel’s core cast intact even without Chan-Kent, which matters because the Sunday session is billed specifically as “Twenty Years of Death Note” rather than a general comics or voice-acting discussion.

Death Note panel remains

The 1 p.m. Sunday Main Stage slot now becomes the most useful anchor for anyone attending for the series: three principal dub actors are still set to appear, and the event still has the same Friday-to-Sunday run at ExCel Centre. For anyone who planned a meet-and-greet with Chan-Kent, the practical move is to reset expectations around the guest floor and focus on the remaining Death Note appearances.

Given the lineup that is still in place, the convention can preserve the event’s main draw without her, but the loss is real for fans of Misa Amane and for anyone treating the panel as a full cast reunion. At this point, the story is less about the convention changing shape than about what attendees can still get from a panel built around a series anniversary and three of its dubbed leads.
