The Walking Dead spoilers: Actress Lauren Cohen promises Maggie will ‘seek vengeance’ on killer Negan
WHILE Rick Grimes may have finally snapped and submitted to the will of the evil Negan in the Walking Dead, there's one person who is getting ready to fight back - Maggie.
Lauren Cohen, who plays her, revealed that while the rest of the groups spirit may be broken, Negan's actions 'light this crazy fuse' under her, which is a reaction Negan may have underestimated.
She told : ";You’ll see how she lives on in honor of Glenn and in vengeance of Negan, and it’s a real war in her brain, and in protection of the baby. I really liked the fact that Glenn says, “I’ll find you,” because she takes him with her. It’s difficult to even encapsulate the grief like that."
Viewers were left reeling when in the opening episode of Season 7, Negan took out two of the leading survivors with his barbed wire bat Lucille - Abraham, and then Glenn - Maggie's husband.

The scenes were so graphic that many fans thought a line may have been crossed, with several saying that they thought they would vomit at the sight of Glenn's protruding eye.
It was later revealed that to prevents spoilers being leaked ahead of time, other characters deaths were leaked online - including Maggie's, who is currently pregnant with husband Glenn's child.
Comparing the deaths of the two central characters like "the entire house of cards" collapsing around the group, Maggie finds it within herself to suddenly come front and centre in leading the group - especially after Rick's spirit is completely broken.
Lauren revealed that this season is a "complex" one, giving hope to those who slammed the "boring" second episode last week after an eventful season premiere.
She revealed: "We’ll see Maggie being very pragmatic and what we all know by now is that those people need to live on in her, or otherwise it’s all for naught, basically."
Viewers first met Maggie in season one when the group sought refuge in a farm outside Atlanta.
Despite being initially shielded from the zombie outbreak on the farm she quickly becomes a fierce and skilled fighter, and begins a relationship with Glenn,
The pair eventually marry and she fell pregnant with his child.
Throughout the series, Maggie has lost her sister Beth and her father Hershel which turned her cold-hearted and unafraid to kill.
Now it appears she is about to come after the man who took her husband.
