If you ask Andrew Lincoln who the biggest baddie on The Walking Dead, he?s going to say it?s Negan. The leather-clad leader is one violent dude, and he?s clearly not afraid to bash in some heads to prove a point.
During a recent Q&A, Andrew was asked whether he thought Rick had met his match, and the actor said ?without a doubt. Everything is changed. The playing field has irrevocably changed.?
Andrew went on to say Negan will bring a lot to Season 7 when it premieres as well. ?We are seven years in and we are only unleashing now probably the greatest villain of the series. It's a very thrilling and exciting time. It does feel like we are smashing everything and starting over.?
And, according to Andrew, Negan proves to be a much bigger threat than past villains. While The Governor was more about secrets and sly dealings, the actor said that Negan is someone who is ?very clear? about his actions.
The Walking Dead Season 7 premieres Oct. 23 at 9 p.m. ET
