'The Walking Dead' Season 7 spoilers news: New major comic book character to be introduced

The Season 6 finale of AMC's "The Walking Dead" has been very heavy for the viewers, but it appears that the producers have something more to make the popular TV series even more exciting and terrifying at the same time. Aside from the revelation of the classic comic book villain, Negan, the leader of the fearsome group called the Saviors, another major character fresh from the series' source material is reported to be making a grand appearance in Season 7.

According to the TV program's famous spoiler site, Spoil the Dead, the producers of "The Walking Dead" is looking for an "African-American male actor with age of around 40." Moreover, the website described the characteristics of the particular character as "an eccentric, charismatic, and kind leader that projects a regal air of confidence and wisdom to his people."

While based on the information shared by the spoiler website, it was not specified who exactly is the character that the producers want to put into the show. However, the descriptions of the character may be enough to guess which unintroduced character from the comic book that person could be. The news website Design N Trend reported that the producers might be looking for a comic book character named Ezekiel. For those who are also fans of "The Walking Dead" comics, they could confirm that the description of Ezekiel in the comic book matches the details posted by Spoil the Dead.

Going back to the rumored casting call for a new character, the information also revealed that whoever will be accepted in the role is going to be a regular part of "The Walking Dead" for the whole seventh season. The actor is also expected to be fine with wearing intricate types of clothing that other people may find weird.

Ezekiel is an interesting character from "The Walking Dead" comic book, who is known to be the great leader of a group of survivors called the "Kingdom." His attitude and behavior is quite unusual because he is acting like a very formal person. Unlike the sadistic character of Negan (played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan), Ezekiel has a relatively more pleasant personality that Rick Grimes (played by Andrew Lincoln) will find him easier to make friends with.
