New footage from the upcoming second half of The Walking Dead Season 10 finally shows Whisperer Negan in all his glory.
The bat-toting baddie can be seen sporting a Whisperer skin mask as he walks with Alpha’s herd and posts up at her camp. It’s the first time fans have gotten a good, hard look at Negan in full Whisperer mode.
It would appear Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s character may have officially picked sides in the simmering "Whisperer War" that’s getting ready to boil over between Alpha’s people and the communities of Alexandria, the Hilltop and the Kingdom — at least for now.
"You just don’t know where he sits with anything," Morgan explains in a short clip, which features commentary from TWD producers and cast.
"Beta doesn’t trust him at all," said Ryan Hurst, who plays the brute. "Beta has an innate sense of who he’s going to find allegiance with and who he’s not."
Morgan admitted, however, that "Negan and Alpha together are a formidable twosome."
Negan did not sport a Whisperer skin mask during his time with the group in the comics. He could very well be just biding his time, but for now, he’s gone full Whisperer.
"Negan is with them now," executive producer Denise Huth said. "That could still go a lot of different ways."
