Reports have it that AMC has cast the role of Augustus, who is based on the character Ezekiel, the self-proclaimed king of The Kingdom in the comics. The character is flamboyant and wise, as well as nice and weird. He also has a pet tiger named Shiva. In the comics, Rick shall be teaming up with Ezekiel to fight Negan and the Saviors, details BGR.
With the casting of Augustus, it seems that TV show shall be following the plotline of the comics which means that Glenn would take the hit at the hands of Negan.
There are also the reports saying that Steven Yeun has started filming “Okja,” a movie that will be released soon on Netflix.
Yeun stars in the movie along with Tilda Swinton, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Paul Dano. The film is about a genetically-engineered pig named “Okja” that does not stop growing.
The principal photography of the movie began on April 22 and the film is set to shoot in South Korea, Canada, and the US very soon. The involvement of Steven Yeun in the movie obviously means that he shall no longer have the time to shoot for “The Walking Dead” Season 7 which would start around June this year.
The toss-up on who was killed by Negan is now between Glenn and Abraham although most of the indications seem to point to Glenn as the likely first victim of Negan more than Abraham.
However, all these are mere speculations and the true answer will officially be known once Season 7 of “The Walking Dead” premieres in October this year.
