'Fear The Walking Dead' Season 2 Spoilers: Is Strand The New Villain?
With the upcoming season of "Fear The Walking Dead" fast approaching, fans are curious to know what kind of trouble the group will be presented in the episodes to come.
The previous season of "The Walking Dead" companion series ended with the families partnering up with a new character named Strand. Played by Colman Domingo, Strand was introduced near the end of Season 1, as one of Nick's fellow patients at the medical facility.
While there has yet to be a lot of details revealed regarding the new character, the group had no choice but to put their trust in Strand as he led them to shelter. The finale ended at his house, where the group decided to aboard his yacht to seek safety.
Even though Strand had helped the group, there is still a lot of skepticism regarding his character. Fans believe that he could be the a villainous character, like Negan in "The Walking Dead." Domingo was able to address the matter during an interview with The Wrap.
He said, "Who am I? Am I Negan? I don't know, am I? I wasn't completely schooled on the original show, but these archetypes are so strong. I remember people questioning whether I was the Negan character, and I asked, well what is that? And I was told he's good with words, he's got a sense of humor, he's dark but he's vicious. And I thought, oh, that's interesting, but I'm not sure."
Meanwhile, Kim Dickens, who plays the role of Madison, also shared some interesting details about Strand. She stated that he will surely bring some challenges for the other characters. She said, "He's offered us safe passage [on The Abigail], yet we offered him safe passage to his house. So there's an obligation, without really sort of reconciling our views on how we morally adjust to these situations. It causes some conflict and difficult dilemmas."
"Fear The Walking Dead" Season 2 premiere on AMC this April 10.
