Jeffrey Dean Morgan says ‘hell yeah’ to Negan movie (Picture: AMC)

Walking Dead fans have longed for a Negan spin-off since the character first made an appearance at the end of season six.

And it looks as though viewers might be getting what they want, as actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan just gave a ‘hell yeah’ to a Negan movie.

We bet you read that in your best Negan voice.

Taking to Twitter in some form of casual Q&A, the 52-year-old revealed to fans that he would be so up for starring in his very own movie.


And we hope Robert Kirkman is listening.

When one fan asked: ‘If you got asked would you do a movie as Negan? the fans are dying for one.’



The star replied: ‘Hell yeah.’

He then added: ‘I think it’s important to show how Negan became Negan. @RobertKirkman already put pen to paper… so I think to flesh that story out? That’s my hope. We shall see.’

We had kind of hoped that The Walking Dead and the Fear Of The Walking Dead cross over would have been an attempt to show Negan’s back story.

But as this failed to happen, we were left on the edge of our seats wondering how a family man, and high school coach turned into the viscous murderer he is.

Currently in season nine, Negan is in some form of purgatory as he lives out his life in the cell that was made for him by Rick.

Although we haven’t seen much of him, the star reassured us that everything will be okay following Rick’s departure.

‘[I feel] the same way you all feel, probably,’ Morgan wrote to a fan on Twitter, after being asked how he felt ahead of Rick’s final episode this weekend. ‘But? Without giving anything away…. we all gonna be ok as fans of show. This season is GOOOOOD.’

But, despite sinking ratings, fans of The Walking Dead are in agreement that season is as ‘goooood’ as Morgan’s boasting, since Angela Kang took over as showrunner.

And we can’t say they’re wrong!
