Ross Marquand Joins THE WALKING DEAD Season 5 - Will He Play 'Aaron'?

Robert Kirkman has said previously that we'd be introduced to a "prominent gay character" from the comics in the second half of The Walking Dead's fifth season, and that's almost certainly Aaron. But is that who Man Men actor Ross Marquand will be playing?

THR report that relative newcomer Ross Marquand (Down and Dangerous, A Lonely Place for Dying, The Congregation) has joined The Walking Dead as a series regular for the remaining episodes of its fifth season. They say exact details on who he'll be playing are still under wraps, but since we know a gay character from the comics is set to debut when the show returns, could it be Aaron? If so, he could well serve as a lead-in to the Alexandria Safe-Zone storyline that most fans expect to see next. Of course that's all just speculation as Marquand could be playing someone else entirely -- though something tells me it won't be brick shithouse baddie Negan anyway! What do you think?

I somehow had missed him being gay until this week. This book is getting boring these last two years. It's got me skimming issues.
