was killed off at the start of season seven, having been beaten to death by Negan. Glenn's death then triggers the animosity between Maggie and Negan, and fans believe Glenn's
former wife may kill Negan in the upcoming episodes. Since leaving the series in 2016, Yeun went on to voice the character Keith in the series Voltron: Legendary Defender. He has since also
become known for his roles in Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia and Final Space. In terms of his film career, the star came back into the spotlight for his role as Jacob Yi in 2020's

experience. He spoke about his character's death scene, saying: "I had known for some time about that death and if I'm honest with you I was really excited for that day."
Fans went on to say they felt "The Walking Dead died with Glenn" as they were so heartbroken when his character died. Another fan said: "They should have kept him. I miss him
so much." Yeun was asked whether he would ever like to reprise his role as Glenn when he spoke to Larry King in 2018. READ MORE: THE WALKING DEAD SEASON 10: SHOWRUNNER HINTS AT RICK
AND SHANE RETURN He said: "I was just kind of saying I don't want to go back to young Glenn. Not only could I not do that physically, I don't look like the kid I started as.
"But also mentally, that character was just such in a different place that for me to go back there, I think it would be not good for anyone." Despite his reluctance to reprise the
role, fans are still calling for him to return in some form or another. One said: "I would like to see Steven Yeun in the Walking Dead Universe again whether thru the AMC movies or
series - whether as Glenn or even as a new character. He brought so much to the Glenn character - it was truly a loss to the show when his character was killed off [sic]." _THE WALKING
