- Erin Moriarty cancelled her Fan Expo Denver appearance via Instagram Story on Thursday, telling fans she was 'gutted' and calling the absence 'absolutely necessary' ahead of the four-day May 28-31 event
- Karl Urban, Karen Fukuhara, Tomer Capone, Valorie Curry, and Cameron Crovetti will still appear at the Colorado Convention Center as scheduled, ensuring the convention's The Boys presence isn't wiped out
- Moriarty revealed her Graves' disease diagnosis last year while filming The Boys' fifth and final season, and has since publicly described the 'physical hell of chronic illness' she endured during production
- The Boys wrapped its five-season Prime Video run last Wednesday with the finale 'Blood and Bone,' giving Moriarty's Annie January/Starlight a happy ending with Hughie (Jack Quaid) that closes with a time jump of the couple expecting a baby
Why it matters: For fans who planned trips or tickets around Moriarty specifically, the late cancellation is a real blow—but with five co-stars still committed, Fan Expo Denver's The Boys footprint survives intact. Moriarty's pullout, weeks after she publicly detailed filming through Graves' disease as 'physical hell of chronic illness,' makes clear her health remains an active constraint even after the series wrapped.
