“#The Walking Dead Season 11 Taps Michael James Shaw for Major Arc<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

With The Walking Dead’s penultimate season gearing up for a big finish, the AMC zombie drama is casting its final season.<\/p>\n

The newest addition is Michael James Shaw, who has been locked in to play Mercer.<\/p>\n

Mercer had a heavy presence during the final arc of the comic books the series<\/a> hails from.<\/p>\n

\n \"Papa<\/img>\n<\/div>\n

In the comics, he plays the Commonwealth Army commander, a man who stands out thanks to his red armor and a pair of axes he uses as his weapons of choice.<\/p>\n

If you watch The Walking Dead online, you know the Commonwealth arc is only just beginning, so it makes sense to reveal who will be playing such a pivotal character.<\/p>\n

Shaw is well-known for his app<\/a>earances on Bull, Blue Bloods, and Blood & Treasure on the small screen, but on the big screen, he has appeared as Corvus Glaive in Avengers Infinity War and Avengers Endgame<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While the AMC hit typically veers away from the comic books, Mercer strikes a fast bond with Rick Grimes and Princess.<\/p>\n

As you are probably well aware by now, Andrew Lincoln’s Rick is no longer a part of the series, but he is set to lead a trilogy of movies.<\/p>\n

Princess only recently came into the narrative, and her most recent plot involved her and a group of people being stopped by the Commonwealth.<\/p>\n

“The one episode that’s coming up [extended Season 10 episode ‘Splinter’], that’s just the tip of the iceberg. There’s a whole big story to be played,” showrunner Angela Kang teased of the new group during The Walking Dead Extended Season 10 Preview Special.<\/p>\n

“There’s more characters within that group to meet, but we will start to get into them a bit, get a sense of their vibe, what they’re about, through our characters’ perspective. But there’s so much more cool story to come in Season 11.”<\/p>\n

“It tells you that this group is really formidable, they are organized, they have some access to the materials that you need to create in a uniform fashion, so that’s really unlike some of the groups that we’ve seen,” she continued.<\/p>\n

“Because our groups have only been able to do things like that on a very limited basis, like [how] Eugene was only able to make a handful of perfect bullets. But these guys have a lot more going on.”<\/p>\n

We have five episodes remaining of The Walking Dead Season 10.<\/p>\n
