Season Five Look at 'The Walking Dead' Plus New Character Confirmation

To end AMC's Dead, White and Blue weekend, a season five peek at "The Walking Dead" was provided and it looks like Carol and company are in dire straights. Carol, Tyreese and (bigger?) Baby Judith clearly haven't made it to Terminus but it looks like they have "more" problems.

How about that rumor of Jon Hamm playing the villain, Negan (rumor thanks to Robert Kirkman deeming him perfect for the role)? Showrunner, Scott Gimple confirmed on "Talking Dead" that the character's show entrance would be "coming up eventually." Will Hamm be taking on the role? Regardless, his presence will prove to be quite interesting!

The series returns this October.

Will Negan Be the Next Villain on 'The Walking Dead?'

So now that The Governor has met his demise, who will be the bad guy on “The Walking Dead?” Over at Entertainment Weekly, they were wondering the same thing and asked creator, Robert Kirkman on whether leader of The Saviors, “Negan” (who doesn’t appear until issue 100) will be taking over.

Here’s what Kirkman relayed:

Well, there was a lot of breathing room in the comics between them. Whether or not we have the same amount of breathing room, or if we do cut that down a little bit and bring him into the show a little early remains to be seen. But I definitely do think there needs to be some kind of space from a Governor into a Negan. You have to have something of a break in there. So I wouldn’t expect him to be showing up — definitely not in season 4. I don’t know. I wouldn’t expect it too soon. But we are all very excited about the prospect of bringing that guy into the show. The plan is that we will see him eventually.

So no Negan in this season but eventually. Who should play Negan when the decision is made for him to finally appear?
