A character taken from the Comic books is the new addition to the 'The Walking Dead' Season 6. Latest cast update revealed that the star of the forthcoming 'Straight Outta Compton' Corey Hawkins is set to play a recurring role named Heath. He will have a key part to play at the Alexandria Safe Zone.
Corey Hawkins, the star of the upcoming 'Straight Outta Compton' has been added as prominent comic book character Heath. The news primarily comes from The Hollywood Reporter. The site spilled the beans that Corey Hawkins has been booked to play a recurring role in 'The Walking Dead' Season 6.
Heath is one of the characters from the Robert Kirkman comic series who will have a key part to play at the Alexandria Safe Zone. Comic Book reports that Heath is one of Alexandria's top supply runners, who later becomes Glenn's supply-run partner following the group's arrival at the Safe-Zone. Later, Heath becomes a herder, which is a crucial group in the All Out War storyline where Alexandria faces off with the Saviors. Heath also has a romantic relationship with Alexandria's doctor, Denise.
Meanwhile, diehard fans of the zombie-concentrated series 'The Walking Dead' were in total uproar last week when reports surfaced around the internet that Josh McDermitt's Eugene will be killed off in Season 6.
The news broke free when Michael Cudlitz, the actor that plays Abraham Ford on 'The Walking Dead', sent a "controversial tweet" to his fellow co-worker Josh McDermitt. The tweet said "Enjoy, I had a blast working with you. (I did)". And this tweet was later deleted so it just read "Enjoy".
Hollywood Life adds that Cudlitz tweet implied that McDermitt's absence in 'The Walking Dead' Season 6 could also mean that Josh is currently filming for a movie called 'Middle Men'. But this tweet could also suggest that Cudlitz dies in season 6, instead of Josh. It was told that Abraham does die in the context of the graphic novel. Granted, the storyline on the comic book and the television seem to follow certain story elements.
