It Looks Like These Two Fan-Favourite Comic Book Characters Will Appear In THE WALKING DEAD Season 7

There have been rumours about this for a while, but TV Line reveals that season seven of The Walking Dead is currently looking to cast a character who sounds an awful lot like Ezekiel. Named "Augustus" in the casting call, he's described as, "flamboyant and wise, nice and weird." AMC are looking for an African American actor (obviously) who is in his 40s, so this is definitely the leader of The Kingdom.

Adding another community into the mix is obviously going to further expand the world of Rick Grimes and his fellow survivors, and while there's currently no word on whether Ezekiel's tiger Shiva will show up, it wouldn't feel right having one without the other! However, as the animal will likely be brought to life with CGI, Shiva being used sparingly is pretty likely. Regardless, following the death of whoever it was that met Lucille in the season finale, both Alexandria and The Hilltop will no doubt be glad of some backup when they go to war with the Saviours! Stay tuned for further updates on The Walking Dead.

@LordHarryLatts - Can't wait, gonna be pretty hard to top the whisperers threat wise, maby they are the final threat before the book ends, I do remember kirkman saying he plans to go to 300 issues which is crazy.

@RickGrimes - Who knows when he's going to stop. I thought he was making it seem like he would never stop writing. But yeah. I wonder how they'll top the Whisperers. But I remember saying "How are they going to possibly top The Governor, then how are they going to possibly top Negan, and they did both. It's crazy.

Dave Fennoy oh my god, they have to get Fennoy. Sure he isn't in his 40's but he would kick ass as Ezekiel.

Figured they would be bringing him in soon... Hope they still call him Ezekial and not Augustus... ad Shiva is a must! Although I'm still ticked off about that ending, excited to see how this all goes down on screen.

@Kman - I still don't know how walkers can take down something like (spoiler) down when other animals cannot.

In his 40's? Seems way young, the character is depicted as being late fifties-low 60's. Keith David, dammit.

Showing the tiger would be a great chance to visit a zoo. I've always wondered if the chimps and apes are zombies like humans are.

The comics introduced Rick's brother this week, along with an Italian woman who might be headed for America.

Dennis Haysbert has always been my first choice for Ezekiel..natural commanding voice and presence....Dave Fenoy would be my second.
