Next week, the cast and crew ofThe Walking Deadwill make their annual trek to San Diego Comic-Con to promote Season 7 of this wildly popular series. As you surely know by now, Season 6 ended with a huge cliffhanger, as the nefariousNegan(Jeffrey Dean Morgan) killed one member of Rick’s (Andrew Lincoln) group, although it wasn’t shown who in fact was killed. While we get ready for SDCC next week, AMC has released a new poster, that lines up all of the possible victims.
The poster, which debuted onTwitter, featuresseries regularcharacters Glenn (Steven Yeun), Rosita (Christian Serratos), Daryl (Norman Reedus), Michonne (Danai Gurira), Abraham (Michael Cudlitz), MaggieLauren Cohan), Rick (Andrew Lincoln), Sasha (Sonequa Martin-Green), AaronRoss Marquand), Carl (Chandler Riggs) and Eugene (Josh McDermitt). Ever since the Season 6 finale, fans have offered various theories as to who will be the victim, with one individual isolating the audio from the mysterious death scene to try and determine who was killed. While we certainly won’t know who was killed until the new season premieres, there have been plenty of theories.
Just yesterday, a new theory surfaced which hintedLauren Cohan’s Maggie may have been killed off. The actress has recently posted photos on Instagram from New York City and other undisclosed locations that certainly don’t seem to be Atlanta, where the show is currently in production. There have also been rumors that she has been absent from the set since the end of filming the third episode, but she hasn’t been the only one who has been absent. The actress' on-screen husbandSteven Yeunalso hasn’t been seen on the set recently, with the actor filming a new movie entitledOkjafor directorBong Joon-ho.
