The Walking Dead Alert! Greg Nicotero Releases More Intel on Negan

It feels like ages since the final episode of The Walking Dead season six — an entire season of Game of Thrones has come and gone! Thank goodness, AMC's hit show is returning in October, and we'll finally find out who is on the receiving end of Negan's barbed bat, Lucille. The cast and crew have divulged a few details about season seven, but producer Greg Nicotero has just revealed some quality intel in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.

Most importantly, Nicotero confirmed that yes, we will definitely find out who Negan beats in the first episode. He also said that Negan will be making even more speeches in season seven: "Negan is that kind of guy," he said. "He's the kind of guy who imagines himself on stage at a high school production and he loves every second of it. So, I don't really see a lot of quiet contemplative moments with Negan. I feel like with Negan it's really going to be about him gesticulating and him sort of relishing in the sound of his own voice while he commands the stage in front of whoever's alive."

EW's interview also includes a "first look" at season seven, but Negan's bat isn't even bloody, which seems fishy to me. Where's the gore? And does it belong to Glenn? We need more!
