Creation Entertainment has announced that Aaron Ashmore will be returning for the second “Salute to Smallville” convention which will be happening September 13-14, 2025 at the Westin O’Hare Hotel in Rosemont, Illinois, just outside of Chicago.

Fans enjoyed meeting the actor who brought us Henry — er, Jimmy Olsen at the October 2024 event and the second time around should be even more exciting. Autographs and photo opportunities with Aaron can be purchased before the convention here. Right now, Creation has only listed the high-tier Gold Passes for sale, but other tiers will become available. Purchase your ticket and if there’s any way to say so, tell them KryptonSite sent you!

The first “Salute to Smallville” convention was a fantastic experience for all involved. It was a chance for some fandom friends to connect, to see your favorite actors, and to be around like-minded individuals who enjoyed that “leafy little hamlet” from back in the day all through the present. There was positive energy everywhere, and the cast and the event hosts (one of whom is writing this article) had just as much fun as the audience did. Picture this: A weekend full of Smallville, surrounded by people who also like Smallville, and the actors who brought Smallville to life.

Current other guests already signed for the 2025 event include Tom Welling (Clark), Michael Rosenbaum (Lex), Erica Durance (Lois), Kristin Kreuk (Lana), and Alaina Huffman (Black Canary) with more surely to come!

DISCLAIMER: KryptonSite’s webmaster Craig Byrne served as a host for the 2024 event alongside Derek Russell of the Super House of El podcast; Craig has also produced some websites for Creation Entertainment including their Salute to Smallville page, which would explain why it kind of looks familiar!

Here’s some holiday cheer we weren’t expecting to see: Funko has announced three more Smallville POP!s, with two based on Season 10 elements and one based on Season 8.

Clark’s red leather jacket from Season 10 gets the spotlight in one of them, showing off the outfit/”costume” worn by the Blur (Tom Welling) in the final season. Next, we’ve got a “Kara Kent” looking very Supergirly as she looked in the Season 10 episode “Supergirl.”

And then there’s Doomsday… Max?!? We have no idea what “Doomsday Max” means. It sounds like a bad name for a soda or a streaming service. But it is based on the Season 8 take on Doomsday, and it’s too bad it doesn’t come as part of a 2-pack with a Davis Bloome.

We’re assuming these will be out in 2025 sometime; updates will come when and if they become available. Any and all new Smallville merch is always welcome, especially considering the recent resurgence of excitement around the series. And in success, who could be next? Lana? More Justice Leaguers? Tess? Dr. Emil? Lionel? The Kents? John Jones? Pete? Amy Adams eating a deer? Anything’s possible… though a Chloe Funko POP! would surprise us at this point due to the actress’ real-life situations.
