Will The Walking Deads Michonne be in the Rick Grimes movies? – Winter is Coming

The Walking Dead has been gradually losing members of its original cast with each passing season. Granted, Lauren Cohanwilleventually return as Maggie Greene, but even she was MIA for a bit there, amidst us losing Andrew Lincoln as Rick Grimes and Chandler Riggs as Carl Grimes. And now, we have to prep our delicate hearts for the exit of Danai Gurira as Michonne.

Its going to be yet another painful goodbye, and Im not sure Im ready for it. Sure, Michonne will always live on in our hearts, and we will get our fair share of Gurira in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where she plays Okoye. But its hard to lose a fan favorite character on a show thats already bleeding them.

However however lets not lose all hope just yet. While onThe Hollywood Reporterspodcast, TVs Top 5,Walking Deadoverboss Scott M. Gimple hinted at something potentially cool around the bend:

We know that Lincoln will return as Rick Grimesin a series ofWalking Deadfeature films. But we dont know is what hell actually do in those movies. Is it possible that Michonne could be a part of that story? Host Lesley Goldberg said that Gurira has to participate in any project. Shes a movie star afterBlack Panther, Goldberg pointed out. [S]hes as big of a draw, if not more so, than Andrew Lincoln at this point.

Agreed. What say you, Gimple? Oh yeah, absolutely. You just laid it out. I would say, even if she happened not to be a movie star, that would be the case.

I remember sitting inBlack Pantherat the premiere and watching her as Okoye and sort of sinking into my chair and being like, Oh my God Danais a movie star. I think she blew away everyone on the screen.Shes always blown us away, but she was our little secret with 17 million people. Now the secrets out.

So Goldberg said Gurira has to participate in anyWalking Deadmovie. Gimple agreed, although he didnt commit to anything specific. Is that confirmation? No, but well take what we can get.

And it does make total sense for Michonne come across Rick at some point, assuming she exits the show alive.

And with Gurira leaving the show anyway, it does free up some time to devote to a movie.Black Panther 2 isnt coming out until 2022, so shes got some time to squeeze the movie in there somewhere, right?
