THE WALKING DEAD Finds Its Negan In Jeffrey Dean Morgan

Despite recent rumors that Garret Dillahunt had won the role of Negan on The Walking Dead, Watchmen and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan will be playing the skull-bashing scoundrel, winning out over Dillahunt and Timothy Olyphant.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan will debut as Negan in the season 6 finale of The Walking Dead.  The news comes after rumors began circulating the internet that Garret Dillahunt had won the role. If AMC viewers thought the show would never have a villain as evil as The Governor (David Morrisey), guess again.  In the comic series, Negan has inflicted more damage on Rick Grimes and co. than any other single force. THR confirms that Dillahunt was indeed in the running for the role, along with Timothy Olyphant, Matt Dillon. 

What do you think of the casting? A lot of Justified fans will surely be miffed that Olyphant missed out on the role. Take the conversation to the comment section below and tune in this Sunday to finally find out what happened to Glenn. Did he miraculously survive only to be setup for a momentous meeting with Lucile?
