The Walking Dead actress who plays Michonne will leave the show in season 10

"The Walking Dead" may be about to usher in a major personnel change. In Season 9, Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and Maggie (Lauren Cohan) both left, and in Season 10, another important character will say goodbye to the audience.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Michonne (Danai Gurira), who joined The Walking Dead in Season 3, will be leaving the show in Season 10. According to reports, she has signed a contract and will be involved in "some episodes" of Season 10. At the same time, Gurira may star in the movie version of The Walking Dead and reunite with her old friend Lincoln.

Danai Gurira's acting career has been booming recently. In 2018, she made her debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, appearing in "Black Panther" and "Avengers 3", and will continue to play Okoye, the guard of the King of Wakanda, in "Avengers 4". If this role continues to appear in future Marvel Universe movies, then Danai Gurira, who is unable to do both, may not be able to schedule filming and therefore give up "The Walking Dead".

Gurira's departure is a big deal for The Walking Dead, as she was one of the few main characters who has stayed on since the early days of the show. In addition to Lincoln and Cohan, Carl (Chandler Riggs) and Morgan (Lennie James) also received lunch boxes. The big change in characters really made the audience experience the despair of the zombie apocalypse.

While fans of The Walking Dead may be saddened by Michonne's death, at least she'll still be in a few episodes of Season 10. The second half of The Walking Dead Season 9 premieres later today.
