Could Negan 3.0 resemble parts of Negan 1.0?
“He’s not sticking around,“Morgan told EW in November of the finale.
“He’s going off to start a family and kind of start over.

He has that bit to Daryl, and then he’s off.
I think that they’ve all reached an understanding.
And, of course, then he leaves.

He and his wife are going off.”
But while we will have a new show and a new location, will we have a new Negan?
“I think time apart probably will make it worse,” says the actor.
Negan’s survival instinct can serve him well or lead him morally astray often at the same time.
“Look, it’s an apocalypse,” says Morgan.
“We know how Negan has survived.
But away from people, he doesn’t do well.”
“I don’t know if us getting along in any way is going to last.
I don’t know if it can.”
And it looks like the problem is… well, Negan.
“Negan is a bit of a screwup,” laughs Morgan.
“He’s just that guy that you want to smack.
I want to punch him sometimes!”
“It’s him and Maggie, and there’s not a lot of people with him.
So, if I do the math on this, he’s going to be in trouble.
It’s going to be a bad combination for him.”
Let’s just hope there is a post-apocalyptic baseball bat shortage in New York City.
