The Walking Dead Tweet That Should Have Rick Grimes Fans Hyped For 2021

If The Walking Dead director Rosemary Rodriguez's social media is any indication, we might finally get a Rick Grimes movie in 2021. 

On December 28, The Walking Dead Twitter account posted a question to the fans, asking: "What are you most looking forward to in 2021?" Rodriguez responded by quote tweeting the query and her own answer. "Finding Rick Grimes on the big screen!" the director wrote, complete with a #TWDFamily hashtag and a heart emoji for good measure.

Remember, this wasn't just a random throwaway comment. This is a person who in all likelihood has inside knowledge, publicly commenting about the matter by replying to a tweet by the show's official Twitter. Sure, the wording is phrased so that it can technically be called wishful thinking if needs must, but many fans who have replied to Rodriguez have taken it as a confirmation that a Rick-centric The Walking Dead movie will indeed be out in 2021. Since fans of the franchise are no doubt eager to see what has happened to everyone's favorite world-weary post-apocalyptic protagonist, let's hope this turns out to be true.
