The Walking Dead: Michael James Shaw to play comic cook character Mercer

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Deadline reports that actor Michael James Shaw has joined the cast of the eleventh (and final) season of The Walking Dead as comic book character Mercer.

Here's the character bio:

The character of Mercer has a strong, badass presence with his Mr. T-esque haircut and red armor, which is a reflection of the power he has in the ranks. He first appeared in The Walking Dead comics in issue 177 and is known for his experience in the United States Marine Corps which easily enough to make him the leader of the Commonwealth military. In the comics, he becomes romantically involved with Juanita (aka Princess), who was introduced in season 10 and is played by Paola Lázaro.

Meanwhile, the final season will premiere this summer, while The Walking Dead's tenth season premiered last week on AMC, and will end in April.

So what do you guys think? Fans of the show? If so, looking forward to the introduction of Mercer? Either way, sound off below!
