Last week, AMC officially announced the casting of Corey Hawkins as Heath, a well-known character from Robert Kirkman's "The Walking Dead" comic book. Now we have two more characters that may also be from Kirkman's origin story.
Courtesy of The Spoiling Dead fans, a new round of casting calls for a character named Kirk and his wife Hilda.
Kirk is described as a "young, blue collar everyman from a small town, who worked a job, was married, and followed the golden rule. He's avoided being cynical and bottom line minded – but the world seems to keep telling him to look out for number one and eliminated anyone in his way." Hilda is described as "a strong woman, not passive or wilting."
As is the case with most "Walking Dead" casting calls, the characters' names will likely change once they are cast. But fans are already pointing out similarities between "Kirk" and "Hilda" and "The Walking Dead" comic book characters Dwight and Sherry.
[SPOILERS Ahead]
Dwight is an intense individual who is a member of Negan's Saviors. He wields a crossbow (a la Daryl Dixon) and eventually kills Abraham. That would go along with the recent rumors that either Abraham or Eugene might die this season.
Still, it doesn't look like Negan or the Saviors will be showing up during the first half of Season 6. Kirk and Hilda could simply be part of the Wolves or newcomers to the Safe-Zone.
