The trailer has ignited fans' curiosity regarding the enigmatic figure cloaked in black, sparking a flurry of speculation and the development of various theories.

Given Rick's confrontation with Jadis Stokes, who had previously threatened to pursue them if they attempted to escape, one Reddit user speculates that the individual in the black cloak might be Jadis herself.

The fan wrote, "It looked like Jadis from the back to me. I think she been keeping track from the moment he left the CRM and when the crash happened she went to see if they survived."

A contradictory theory posted by a fan reads, "I’ve been hearing stuff about it being Silas. What if Silas goes there and fight Rick but then helps him destroy the evidence of Alexandria. Which would help Silas get out from under jadis’ control from world beyond because she wanted to make him a soldier and he wanted to change the CRM from within just like Rick."

While the identity of the man remains shrouded in mystery, one fan wrote, "Tobias from Fear. He is the true savior of the apocalypse."

Let it be known that Tobias is among the select few, one of only nine regular characters to endure throughout the entirety of the franchise's run.

A hopeful fan wrote on Reddit, "Maybe cloak person is someone who knows something bout the crm or was someone who escaped, I hope it’s someone who knows some kind of weakness or something that can harm the crm."

As numerous theories circulate before the premiere of Episode 5, the question of Rick Grimes and Michonne's fate hangs in the balance.

'The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live' Episode 5 is scheduled to stream on AMC on AMC+ on Sunday, March 24, 2024.
