Executive Producer Gale Ann Hurd talks about the strong female cast members of The Walking Dead and teased the future appearance of fan favorite Michonne to Water Cooler Journal.
“Andrea is already undergoing a change in her character from a civil rights attorney lacking survival skills already found in some of the men (like the deputies Rick and Shane, or the survivalist Daryl) into someone who can take care of herself,” Hurd told Water Cooler Journal. “Maggie Greene is a farmer’s daughter who can ride horses better than any of the men, and takes out a walker the first time we see her in the series. And one of the most kick ass characters from the comic book is Michonne, a samurai sword wielding woman, who will be introduced in future seasons.”
Thanks to Comic Book Resources for the story.
Creator and Executive Producer dismissed rumors that True Blood star Rutina Wesley was cast as Michonne and will appear later this season. Have faith fans, sounds like the favorite character will eventually appear.
