The Walking Dead: Gimple Praises Reedus's Ghost Rider-Like Chain Work

That's one of the things I love about The Walking Dead Universe family, the way they come together to support one another. And today was another perfect example of that, with the TWD showrunner & executive producer Angela Kang throwing her support behind the social media buzz about Norman Reedus (Daryl Dixon) being considered for the role of Ghost Rider for Marvel Studios' MCU (either for a big screen or streaming project). Not long after, the TWDU CCO Scott M. Gimple also jumped onto Twitter to give the casting idea a major thumbs-up. But he also offered some more evidence as to why Reedus deserves the gig, sharing a look at Reedus's "A+ chain work" from S05E16 "Conquer" where he decapitated three walkers with one chain move.

Here's a look at Gimple's tweet responding to and seconding Kang's Reedus/Ghost Rider endorsement with a little visual reminder that Reedus has some experience with chain work:

But then Kang lit the speculation fires a little higher with this follow-up to Gimple:

Here's a look back at Kang's tweet from earlier today offering her endorsement of Reedus as Johnny Blaze aka Ghost Rider, but that wasn't all. Also in the thread, Kang offered a "stay tuned" when someone asked for some Season 11b hype and that the trailer for the series' return would be coming in the new year. But as much as she would like to share some intel on the upcoming Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) movies, she wants folks to know that's "not my lane":

Now here's a look at the first teaser for The Walking Dead Season 11 Part 2 followed by a look at the most recent overview, with the long-running AMC series set to return on Sunday, February 20, at 9 pm ET/8 CT (with new episodes premiering early on AMC+ all season). Following that, stick around for our latest look at what's to come for Fear TWD:

The Walking Dead returns with many of our heroes fighting imminent hellfire under Reaper attack; while others battle Mother Nature's torrential wrath in Alexandria. For all, their world is literally crashing down around them. Meanwhile, life in the Commonwealth is not as idyllic as it seems. For some, hope will be renewed. Others will be pushed past the point of no return. One truth holds tight: Lives hang in the balance with each decision drastically changing their future, their chances of survival, and the state of each community.

Look, it's not like the seventh season of AMC's Fear the Walking Dead needed any more excitement heading into an already epic-looks second half (premiering April 17, 2022). When you end a midseason finale with Alicia (Alycia Debnam-Carey) formally declaring war on Victor (Colman Domingo) for control of the Tower, you pretty much have us hooked. But apparently, the folks behind the long-running spinoff series wanted to make triply sure that fans were counting the day down. And we have to say that having Kim Dickens appearing on Talking Dead to announce that Madison Clark was coming back was a damn good way to do it. Dickens is set to return as a series regular in the now-confirmed eighth season… but Madison will also be showing up during the current season (with something to say about the Alicia/Victor matter, I'm sure).

In the second half of Season 7, months have passed after the nuclear blast and the only one thriving is Victor Strand (Colman Domingo). Having built a fiefdom, he callously selects who will have a chance at life. The other members of the group have suffered immensely, but out of that, has come a fierce determination to live, even if it means taking Strand's Tower by force and continuing the search for PADRE, a mythical place no one is sure really exists. Alicia (Alycia Debnam-Carey,) now the reluctant leader to Teddy's former followers, is plagued by a mysterious illness and the repercussions of her past actions. Morgan (Lennie James,) trying to maintain hope that he will be reunited with his family, knows Alicia is key to their survival. With Alicia declaring war, Strand's paranoia and personal vendettas grow, and with that, new threats emerge from all sides.
