<P> Producer Frank Darabont stated in an interview with Fearnet in 2011 that Michonne would appear in the third season of the show . After Darabont was fired, there was speculation that those plans might have changed . However, in an interview with The Watercooler in late January 2012, Gale Anne Hurd confirmed that Michonne would appear in future seasons . </P> <P> Danai Gurira was officially announced, during an episode of Talking Dead, to have been cast as Michonne . During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Kirkman was quoted saying "there's a lot to that role, and Danai, more than any other actress, showed us that she could exhibit that strength and show what an intense character she could be and, at the same time, have that emotional core and be able to show a vulnerability to a certain extent that we don't see much of but is definitely there ." He added, "She really was the whole package, and I think she's going to do a really good job". Danai later commented on implementing her comic counterpart's traits: </P> <P> "I was trying to really investigate a character and allow her to have as much dimension as possible and crack it open even more . What you see through the writing and vision of the creator, you add to it by bringing your full humanity and by really delving into the character's background and their motives and fears; all those things can make a multidimensional character come to life . That's how I've been trained from the beginning and how I've created characters in the past on the stage or through my playwriting . I plan to bring all of that to the table to allow Michonne to be as rich and complex as possible . I'm excited to bring her to life as someone who really has a lot of life and a lot of complexity ." </P> <Table> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> This section needs expansion . You can help by adding to it .
