It’s admittedly not much of an update but “The Walking Dead” creator Robert Kirkman did touch briefly upon the upcoming Rick Grimes-centric movie over the weekend.
We learned back in 2018, right after the character exited AMC’s TV series, that Andrew Lincoln would be reprising the role of Rick Grimes in a planned trilogy of “The Walking Dead” films for the big screen, with the first movie set to tell the story of where Rick was taken when we last saw him on the show, exploring a new corner of the zombie apocalypse.
At a virtual Skybound panel over the weekend, Kirkman suggested that the pandemic-fueled delays may very well end up being a real good thing for those upcoming movies.
“There’s tons of stuff going on behind the scenes. I don’t want anyone to think that we’re just kind of waiting around for this pandemic to end,” Kirkman said over the weekend.
He continued, “I would say that, if anything, the pandemic is going to make a lot of movies better. I think the Rick Grimes movie chief among them, just because we’re getting a lot more time to cook this thing and make sure it’s perfect.”
The ongoing pandemic has of course also impacted “The Walking Dead” TV series, which has yet to air its Season 10 finale. We expect to learn that new airdate out of SDCC this week.
