“This is exactly the kind of once-in-a-lifetime moment FAN EXPO Dallas was created to deliver. Young Guns wasn't just a movie—it was lightning in a bottle. It captured the rebellious spirit of a generation and turned a group of young actors into icons. To reunite this many members of the cast nearly four decades later is extraordinary, and we know fans will travel from across the country to experience it,” said Andrew Moyes, Vice President of FAN EXPO HQ.

At the event, attendees will have opportunities to participate in autograph sessions, professional photo opportunities, and special appearances celebrating the film and its legacy.

“People still cheer when they hear, 'Regulators, mount up.' That enthusiasm has never faded. This reunion is about nostalgia, shared memories, and giving fans the chance to celebrate a film that meant so much to them with the people who brought it to life,” said Moyes.

FAN EXPO Dallas is scheduled to take place from Sept. 11-13, 2026, at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas. Additional guest announcements and programming details are expected in the coming months.
