The stars of The Walking Dead: Dead City, Lauren Cohan and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, engaged with fans at San Diego Comic-Con 2026, tackling the popular fan theory of their characters, Negan and Maggie, developing a romantic relationship. Cohan, who plays Maggie, expressed that their complex history as enemies forced to cooperate offers a more intriguing narrative than a simple romance. She suggested that shippers should let go of the idea.
Conversely, Morgan, portraying Negan, playfully responded with a 'yes,' exciting the crowd. The dynamic between Maggie and Negan is deeply rooted in trauma, as Negan was responsible for the brutal murder of Maggie's husband, Glenn Rhee. Despite this, their relationship has evolved into a complicated alliance, further fueled by Maggie sparing Negan's life in the recent season 2 finale, setting the stage for their interactions in the upcoming season 3.
