Lincoln starred as the show’s protagonist for eight years. He is one of the show’s most well-loved zombie-fighting characters and when he left the show in season nine, fans were pretty disappointed.

Now, Gimple has confirmed that Rick Grimes will be returning in the trilogy of Walking Dead movies. The franchise will pick up on Rick’s story from where the TV series left off. Lincoln will be reprising his role as the core TWD character.

Speaking to ComicBook.com, Gimple revealed that Lincoln is very involved in the production process. He said: “He throws around the football with the rest of us. He’s very, very invested in this thing.” He then added: “I got to tell you, [Lincoln’s] itching to get back, too. We all are.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Gimple revealed that the film trilogy will invite new fans while also honoring those who have invested in the series.

“We have to honor people who have invested the time in their lives in the show,” he explained. “But we can’t do that at the expense of inviting everybody. I think those things can work together… Rick has a history and the history will be present within him and it’ll be a big part of who he is.”

He added: “But it’s likely going to be a very different Rick that we see as well.”

The Walking Dead movie has no set release date.

The 45-year-old actor revealed to Entertainment Weekly that he is going back to the set of The Walking Dead, where the rest of the season nine is currently being filmed, to shadow a director and then wants to direct himself next year.

“I’m going back,” Lincoln told EW. “I’m going back to shadow a director, and my intention is to direct next year.”

It might be strange for an actor to return so quickly to the show he just left, but Andrew Lincoln has his reasons.

“I can’t be that far away because I can’t bear it.” he shared. “That’s how much I am invested in the show and the continuation of the story.”

Lincoln won’t be the only actor from The Walking Dead franchise to get a taste of directing as well. Colman Domingo and Michael Cudlitz, two actors featured on The Walking Dead spinoff Fear the Walking Dead, also got to shadow a director and direct episodes of their show.

It has recently been confirmed that Andrew Lincoln will be leaving The Walking Dead after Season 9. As far as what will happen to his character Rick Grimes goes, there have been no spoilers so far.

It would be reasonable to anticipate that his character will be killed off, given that this is what usually happens when characters leave, barring a few exceptions. Lincoln has shared that he would prefer it if Rick is not killed off but has a ‘Lennie James’ type exit. James’ character Megan left the series alive and moved over to Fear the Walking Dead.

“Lennie James is a perfect example of leaving without dying and doing rather well on it,” he said at San Diego Comic-Con. “So there is that way.”

“And then there is obviously the other way, which we’ve done quite a lot.

“Obviously I’m not going to tell you which way [Rick goes out]… I mean, I’d prefer the Lennie James of it all. But I think what we have in store this season is truly remarkable, and I’m very proud of the work that we’ve done.”

The Walking Dead sub-Reddit did an extensive survey about the series’ future among its fans with close to 900 people taking part. According to the results, 44 percent of them will stop watching the series after Rick leaves. 36.9 percent were undecided, while just 18.9 percent said they will definitely continue to watch. Considering the way Rick should bow out from The Walking Dead, 51 percent of participants in the survey said they would prefer for him to die while 49 percent would like to see him just leave.

When it comes to The Walking Dead’s new lead, Negan would be the fans’ top choice, receiving 40 percent from all the participants in the survey. Judith is in the second place with 20 percent, while Daryl is their third choice with 15.

In response to other parts of the survey, more than two-thirds of The Walking Dead fans said they would like to see the series ending after the season nine, while almost half of them would like to see the show move further away from the comics source material. Finally, Tara is the most hated character, since 625 respondents wished for the character to die.

Season eight of The Walking Dead wrapped back in April while the production for season nine of the series is set to begin in March 2018. The new episodes are set to premiere later this year.
