“The Walking Dead” Season 7 will most likely see Rick’s group go to war with Negan’s Saviors, but one war is (temporarily) over: the glitter war between series stars Andrew Lincoln and Norman Reedus.
“The glitter war–there is a very, very fragile truce that’s happened,” Lincoln told TheWrap. “I mean, it’s not going to take much to reignite this glitter war. But for the time being, there is an armistice.”
It all started back in July, when Reedus pranked Lincoln by dumping a whole bunch of glitter into the air conditioning of Lincoln’s car.
“The most upsetting thing is that when it’s extremely hot and I crank up my [air conditioning], still bits of glitter come out and stick to my face,” Lincoln said.
“And it’s been months. We’re talking months at this point. Especially if I crank it. I don’t know how much he put in but by God it’s still coming…But it’s not over yet. He may have won the battle…” he said before trailing off menacingly.
Lincoln did get a modicum of revenge at this year’s Comic-Con, when he threw a handful of glitter into Reedus’ face during “The Walking Dead” panel. You can see the aftermath of that attack in the photo below.
“Don’t reignite it,” Lincoln said with a laugh. “All it’s going to take is this article, so please don’t dwell on it too much.” Sorry, Andrew. But to paraphrase newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst (and “Citizen Kane”): “You provide the glitter, I’ll provide the war.”
“The Walking Dead” returns on Oct. 23 on AMC.
'Walking Dead': 11 Theories on Who Negan Killed (Photos)
Why it's her: Michonne and Rick began a romantic relationship this season, and what better way to crush fans' hearts than to make him watch her get beaten to death?
Why it's him: Reedus has a new AMC travel show and may want to free up his calendar. He was also on "Talking Dead," an honor usually reserved for people whose characters died.
Why it's her: She would make sense as a substitute for Glenn.
Why it's not her: Would the show really kill a sick pregnant woman who everybody loves?
AARON (ROSS MARQUAND)
Why it's him: He's had so little screen time, he's disposable.
Why it's not him: He's had so little screen time, his death would have no weight. We only have this one picture of the poor guy. If the show wants to kill him, it should give him more lines first.
EUGENE (JOSH MCDERMITT)
Why it's him: He's made a point of stepping up to prove himself a survivor, and, well irony.
Why it's not him: He still has room to grow. And so does his mullet.
Why it's him: Abraham died in the comics in the manner that ultimately led to Denise's death on the TV show a few weeks ago. With his arc complete in the comics, it would make sense to kill him off now.
Why it's not him: His refusal to cower seems to have maybe won him Negan's respect.
Why it's not her: Sasha turned her hopelessness around last season, and it would be too depressing for her to die now.
Why it's her: She's in the sweet spot for "Walking Dead" deaths: popular and long-running, but not so popular and long-running that the show can't go on without her.
Why it's not her: Because it would feel like the show once again built up a character just to kill her off when it was dramatically convenient.
CARL (CHANDLER RIGGS)
Why it's him: Some fans don't like him lately, and they didn't even soften when he lost his eye.
Why it's not him: Hasn't he been through enough? Also, Negan charmingly commands, "If anybody says anything, cut the boy's other eye out and feed it to his father," right before he bludgeons his victim to death. Chances are he wouldn't say that if he was about to kill Carl.
