Negan is not only the most popular baddie on The Walking Dead, but also its most prominent star, as he even appears in the fighting game Tekken 7. But before Negan started terrorizing people with his Lucille bat, there was El Governor.
David Morrissey’s character was the big bad guy on The Walking Dead until the season four finale, where he was shot by Lilly and stabbed by Michonne.
But that doesn’t mean we’ve seen the last of him, especially since on The Walking Dead Holiday Special, available on AMC’s streaming service in the United States, the boss of everything, Scott M. Gimple, talked about the return of one of the most important villains in the history of the series.
It is true that the series has had other baddies during the 10 seasons broadcast, but the truth is that only Negan and The Governor are “the great villains of The Walking Dead”, and the first continues in the series.
Not only that, but David Morrissey himself has spoken about returning to the series. In an exclusive statement to Digital Spy, he said a while ago: “Obviously, The Walking Dead comes from a series of graphic novels by Robert Kirkman. There are three novels on the subject: The Rise of the Governor, The Road to Woodbury and The Fall of the Governor. .
“They are brilliant stories. If I went back, I would love to go back, on film, to tell those stories.”
And he continued saying: “One of the great things for me was in season four when I came back, I was in four episodes, and they were all mine. It was just my story. And I loved it. I think there is something to tell. There are stories to be. told in those novels that I think are really fascinating. “
