San Diego Comic Con will be held July 19-22 and the much anticipated Walking Dead panel has been scheduled for July 20th. Some of the actors that will be involved in the panel include Andrew Lincoln, Danai Gurira, Melissa McBride, Lauren Cohan, Norman Reedus and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, along with new showrunner Angela Kang. Kang was announced as the new showrunner recently. She has been involved TWD since Season 2 and has written some really well done episodes such as Four Walls & a Roof, Coda & Thank you. There is even a rumor that Jon Bernthal may show up. He has been seen hanging out in Georgia with Reedus & Morgan which leads to fans speculating on what his role will be in Season 9. Will there be a flashback? Is it something to do with Lincoln's departure from TWD?
With the release of the first SDCC promo image for Season 9 comes all the fan theories. The dark image appears to be in Washington DC and features Rick Grimes in the foreground with Carol, Michonne, Maggie & Daryl in the background. Beyond them is what looks to be the US Capital which is charred and destroyed. We also see birds scattering from the remains of the Capital but in my opinion, the most interesting thing the is presence of a helicopter! We have seen helicopters a number of times and I am anxious to see where they are coming from. The fact that Rick is well groomed with a different hair cut as well as Maggie's longer hair and no prego belly probably confirms the talk about a major time jump.
Fans always look forward to SDCC because that is when we get to see the official trailer for for the upcoming season. Season 9 promises many changes including the rumored departure of Rick & Maggie. I don’t imagine any major secrets will be revealed but it is always exciting to see the tone that will be set for the season.
