Maybe AMC will try to have the show follow the comic a little more, in relation to the Governor’s character in the comic. In the comic, the Governor attacks the prison twice, Tyreese and Michonne are captured, the Governor uses Michonne’s sword to take off Tyreese’s head in front of the prison and then lots of people die after that. The television show could go that route now if they wanted to.
The British actor initially signed on for a one-season role to play the famed villain from the comics created by Robert Kirkman on which the TV series is based. When his casting was announced in February 2012, AMC noted the actor would “appear in The Walking Dead season three.”
…
Talking with THR earlier this season, executive producer Kirkman said he’d like to avoid having one human “big bad” per season, with producers raving about Morrissey’s multilayered performance as the Governor — leaving the door open that the villain could potentially survive the season. “The potential is always there — or he could die in the next episode,” he said. “This is The Walking Dead; you never know.”
