Within the past week, construction crews have installed much of the attraction’s entrance façade which features the Villain-Con logo. Around the sides of the stage building, crews have also installed character banners that feature villain characters from the “Despicable Me” films including Vector Perkins, Professor Flux and Scarlet Overkill.
