Comic-Con 2020: Five reasons Lauren Cohan's return to 'The Walking Dead' will be a total gamechanger
Ever since 'The Walking Dead' executive producer Angela Kang confirmed that Maggie (Lauren Cohan) is returning to the show, fans have been waiting with bated breath to see what new fresh twists and turns the story will take. Maggie's arrival will ensure that many mysteries will be unraveled, scores will be settled and there will be a lot of walker-slashing. Maggie has been an integral part of the show and we can't wait for her to return. Maggie has a lot of vengeance in her heart toward the Whisperers, as they killed her friends and destroyed the communities that Maggie had worked so hard to build. Maggie doesn't hesitate to back down when it comes to a fight and she will be back to extract her pound of flesh from the Whisperers soon.
Maggie-Negan showdown
Maggie and Negan have unfinished business, there's no doubt about that. It goes all the way back to Negan's entrance into the series, where he cornered Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and his friends, lining them up and announced that he would kill one of them, which is a punishment for the attack on his group. In this deadly game of eenie-meenie, Abraham Ford (Michael Cudlitz) paid the price and got his head smashed. Daryl (Norman Reedus) punched Negan in the face, and the baseball-wielding villain took out his anger on Glenn, Maggie's husband. And that was the end of Glenn. Since then, Maggie has vowed revenge on Negan and was even miserable when Rick saved Negan after slitting his throat in Season 8. Maggie has never recovered from her husband's death and is going to unleash hell on Negan for all his crimes. She could care less if Negan isn't on the side of Whisperers, anymore.
Will Maggie save them from Beta?
Season 10 hasn't been able to air due to the coronavirus pandemic, leaving fans to bite their nails in panic. The last episode is going to be a bloody showdown between Beta's team of Walkers, Whisperers and the Survivors. Maggie has been away and could have been building a team with better weapons and fighters. Hopefully, she will play the trump card in the final battle.
Where has Maggie been?
What has Maggie been doing all this time? We didn't see her ever since Season 9 Episode 5 of 'The Walking Dead'. One theory that's going around is that Maggie is with the Commonwealth and has become the new Pamela. Has she been leading a new community all by herself? If that's the case, Maggie's backstory would come in handy for Season 11 as she is more knowledgeable and stronger than before, which is what this beaten up group of Survivors needs. We are pretty excited to know what Maggie has been doing all this time and how she plans to take down dangerous threats.
Maggie could be the new leader
It has been a tough time for everyone at Hilltop ever since Maggie left. Jesus and Tara were killed and there might be another bloodbath on the way. Maggie has weathered crisises emotionally and physically and has the power to lead communities, despite the odds being stacked against her. Could Season 11 see her as the new leader? Sign us up.
Maggie's son Hershel
The last time we saw Hershel, he was a baby. But now, he might just be a tough fighter like his mother and the two might make an insane duo on the show.
We're finally going to hear when the finale of 'The Walking Dead' Season 10 will air during the Comic Con 2020 panel discussion, which will be held on July 23, 1 pm ET.
