14 Movies Starring The Walking Dead Actors In 2018

What they get up to when they're not slaying zombies.

The Walking Dead has reached the midway point of its eighth season and the agonising, two-month wait for more episodes is underway. Late February might not seem far away, but when there are huge cliffhangers to resolve, it's basically an eternity.

AMC's hit zombie show left off by condemning a major character to death, while the war between Rick's alliance and Negan's Saviours reached a critical point. How this imminent fatality and the rest of the conflict will play out is anybody's guess. Even the show's comic source material is only a rough guide with recent deviations in mind.

If you're desperate for an update about what The Walking Dead's main cast are up to though, the good news is that you don't have to rely on AMC for that. Many of the show's top talent is involved in a number of other projects at various stages of completion.

For lead star Andrew Lincoln, zombie slaying is a full-time job, but many of the series' supporting actors have found time to shoot a movie or two on the side, and some of them are scheduled to arrive in 2018.

14. Chew - Steven Yeun

Steven Yeun isn't afraid of a little blood and guts. After getting his head bashed in as Glenn on The Walking Dead, he began laying down the vocals for the lead role in an animated film based on Image Comics series Chew.

Yeun plays Tony Chu, a detective with a weird superpower which gives him psychic impressions from anything he eats. In the name of solving murder cases, he'll often take a bite out of the victim to establish whodunit and why. His cannibalistic methods may be disgusting, but they sure are effective.

The Walking Dead alum will be joined in Chew by former Doctor Who David Tennant - who replaced the late Robin Williams on the project - and Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Felicia Day.

Release Date: TBC 2018
