A new face awaits us in the finale of «The Walking Dead» season 6, and it's sure to cause SOME unrest in Rick's squad... Uh oh... Guess who's comin'...
IT'S FINALLY TIME: After a lot of back and forth, the craziest rumors and speculations and a lot of excitement, AMC finally announced who will be seen in the season finale of the sixth season of "The Walking Dead" in the role of super mega villain Negan becomes! As you may know, the shooting of episode 16 of the current season began this Monday and before any corresponding spoiler photos from the set could spoil the surprise, AMC apparently went on the offensive and announced itself which well-known American series actor in will slip into the role of the psychopathic villain. Before we introduce him to you in detail, be sure of one thing: When Negan shows up for the first time in the finale, the Governor looks like a cuddly stuffed animal next to him - because this guy doesn't know anything, absolutely NOTHING, about him stops his (cruel) plans... Et voilà his face in the series:
The actor above is Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who may already be known to many from numerous other TV series. For example, the 49-year-old American can currently be seen in "The Goodwife" and has previously played in "Supernatural", "Extant", "Watchmen", "Magic City" or even in "Grey's Anatomy"! The romantics among you may also know him from "PS I love you", for all comic fans he should also be no stranger, he plays the role of Thomas Wayne in the upcoming "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice". Pretty top-class cast, then, good Mr Morgan, who will be wielding his Lucille for the first time next spring! What will the first encounter between Rick's squad and Negan's wild gang, the Saviors, look like? Could she be as deadly as in the comics? Or will the producers keep Negan's arrival a little in the dark for now, and then go into more detail about him in Season 7?
We think: It's a match! Because the charismatic, but also very dark-looking actor seems perfectly suited to play the leader of the "Saviors" in the future - a mafia-like group of selfish and cold-blooded survivors of the zombie apocalypse who kill everyone who doesn't collaborate with them – or should we rather say: those who do not allow themselves to be blackmailed by them? That literally screams danger for the residents of Alexandria, who are currently still encircled in their protection zone. In addition to Alexandria, thanks to the first spoiler photos, we were also able to catch a glimpse of the Hilltop Colony, which should await us quite soon in the second half of Season 6, and in the not too distant future we will then also see the 'Saviors › and get to know their fortress («The Sanctuary»). What is particularly interesting is how the different groups react to each other! And Lincoln revealed frightening details: “They all build and form their groups in their own image. And then there is a clash between the communities! And I find that very interesting because with all the action, it gets extremely exciting. This turns into a stark, apocalypse-like landscape that we've never seen before. It's almost like a re-education of society and of all humanity. And THAT is such a big thing that we can tell you about it!» In the comics, the nasty Negan kills poor Glenn with his baseball bat converted into a morning star-like weapon 'Lucille' - how will the producers in the series deal with this central point in the comics? Glenn's fate has not yet been clarified, but there is still the possibility that - as has happened again and again in the past - it could possibly meet a completely different character...
