If you think Shane and Daryl are badasses on The Walking Dead get ready to be blown away by the badassness of Michonne! Fans saw the hooded figure slice her way onto the storyline during the season finale on AMC. Right after 9 million viewers watched Michonne’s debut, creator Robert Kirkman announced Danai Gurira will play the character next season. The actress talked with The Hollywood Reporter about how the comics version will influence her on-screen portrayal.
“I’m going to develop that with [showrunner] Glen Mazzara and the whole creative team. They have their own take on the source material. I’m going to be meeting with them next week to get an understanding of what their take is and how she grows and develops. I’ll find out the answer to that in the coming weeks in terms of exactly how she will map out with what she is in the books vs. what she will be on the screen. I’ll be learning as I go in some regards. I do know that she remains an absolute badass and I will be training with katana swords. I’m really excited about that.”
The reporter asked a great question that had me thinking of a badass showdown: Shane Vs. Michonne!
