And they were searching during a pandemic and all of that.
And they found so many wonderful kids who auditioned, and it kind of came down to two kids.
And Lisa Mae Fincannon was like, “I just have a really good feeling about this kid.
I have such a good feeling about him.
He’s really smart, and there’s just something about him.”
And ultimately, he’s the one we cast.
And I think she was right.
He has this sweetness to him.
And I think he can kind of play that rascally thing that reminds you of Glenn.
But he has something of the old soul of Maggie, which is really wonderful.
So it was an adventure.
He’s such a sweetheart.
He’s even wearing a baseball cap, like when we first met Glenn.
He’s wearing a baseball cap.
Let’s get into the big Maggie and Negan reunion.
She’s back, and with the son of her husband that Negan brutally murdered.
So what does that mean moving forward?
For us, we’re just excited to have Maggie and Negan both going in the same space together.
And what does that mean for both of them going forward?
That’s a huge part of the story that we tell in season 11.
Is it possible to forgive something that’s that horrific?
Do you gotta forgive something that that’s horrific?
What do I do?"
Do I want my kid to feel like there were no consequences for what he did?
Or is it worse to not be able to move past that?"
And how big a part are they going to be playing in the future story?
He’s in a ghillie suit at one point.
They have some sort of background where they know military techniques.
And so, that’s going to be just a formidable bang out of enemy to go up against.
One guy can cause a lot of harm.
So this is definitely a story that will be ongoing.
But beyond that, I’ll hold some stuff for later.
So let’s play my favorite game ofWalking DeadWhat If.
That scene you talked about with the sniper that met Maggie, they finally trap him.
She says, “Answer my questions or I’ll kill you.”
Then he kills himself instead.
That’s what I think would have happened.
That’s what Lauren Cohan said too.
Maggie has been through some dark things, as we’ll learn.
So I think this is not to put any moral judgment on it.
So I think that, that is the way that they would have gone.
