Marvel announced the guestlist for Hellfire Gala — a big X-Men universe event that crosses the border to the real world.
As we reported before, a certain number of artists, athletes, actors and TV personalities will find their way to new comic series that introduces a new X-Men team.
The first week of this event is upon us, and the first three issues of the series are out now. They give a taste of how celebrity power is incorporated in the X-Men universe. In Marauders #21, Krakoa hosted a telepathic concert with Rhapsody providing the music, while Jean Grey and the Stepford Cuckoos allowed the crowd to experience it as if they were the ones playing the music, explains Marvel.
Interestingly, Rhapsody is not even mentioned on the list that the Marvel’s official Twitter account published recently. But there are other names on the list that will certainly spark public interest: athletes Pete Alonso, Saquon Barkley, Coco Gauff and Megan Rapinoe; musicians DMC, Eminem, Method Man, Steve Aoki, Killer Mike and El-P; actors James Monroe Igleheart, Jason Mantzoukas; Gabriel Iglesias, late night TV hosts Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, and Conan O’Brien, and even writer George R.R. Martin. The list goes on:

It is not announced, though, when and where we are to find these characters. Every week there are three new issues from different storylines involved in the Hellfire Gala events and it’s clear that celebrity cameos will be dispersed through them. Here you can find the publishing schedule and release dates.
This is not the first time Marshall makes an appearance in the Marvel universe. In June 2009, a special Punisher issue introduced Eminem as its character:
Eminem/Punisher crossover is available for free on the Marvel website.
