Just a few weeks ago we got our first casting for season 3 of The Walking Dead in the form of David Morrissey playing the Governor. Now we’ve got news that Michonne has been cast. According to the Hollywood Reporter Danai Gurira will play the samarai sword wielding badass. Gurira is most known for being on HBO’s Treme. Showrunner Glen Mazzara told the Hollywood Reporter that they were looking for “someone that inhabits the traits of the character” and not necessarily an actor with a “name” to fill the role. She is probably the character most people that were familiar with the comics have been waiting for and now they’re going to get her! It is also of note that Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard did a 6 page origin story for the character that was printed in the newest issue of Playboy that came out this past Friday.
