First Photo of Negan from THE WALKING DEAD Season 7 Plus New Info on the Villain
The first photos from The Walking Dead season seven features Negan continuing to taunt Rick and his group with his barbed-wire bat, Lucille. If this image takes place after killing someone from the group his bat would be pretty bloody, but I imagine they cleaned that up for this image. It wouldn’t be the first time blood was removed from an official photo from a movie or TV show. Or it could be a completely different scene and I'm reading into it wrong.
We’ve got awhile to wait before we found out who met their demise, but the producers of the series promise the answer will come in the season seven premiere. Greg Nicotero told EW:
“Yes, who was at the receiving end of Negan’s bat will be revealed in the first episode.”
So that’s a plus. I was worried they’d make us wait a few episodes before we found out. Nicotero went on to talk about Negan, and teased that the character has plenty more speeches and rants to come. He explained the character, saying:
“Negan is that kind of guy. He’s the kind of guy who imagines himself on stage at a high school production and he loves every second of it. So, I don’t really see a lot of quiet contemplative moments with Negan. I feel like with Negan it’s really going to be about him gesticulating and him sort of relishing in the sound of his own voice while he commands the stage in front of whoever’s alive.”
With Comic-Con coming up next week, we will learn more about what’s to come during the panel that takes place on Friday, July 22nd, so stay tuned!
