Read his comments below.
Lincoln tells SFX Magazine: “I’m not filming at the moment. I’m still very much in lockdown. We’re very excited about how, at the first available opportunity, we’re going to go into production – there’s talk of it being spring. I can’t wait to get those cowboy boots.”
He continues: “I have signed for more than one film. I am a producer on it. […] All of those answers will hopefully be resolved in the next couple of months but, yes, there’s more than one. We need to get the first one absolutely right and that’s why it’s taken longer than we anticipated – and obviously with the pandemic. I can’t wait. I’m really excited about broadening the scale and scope of the story and finding out where Rick is.”

Former The Walking Dead showrunner Scott Gimple says the Rick Grimes movie will channel Identity director James Mangold’s Logan with Hugh Jackman.
Gimple told Comic-Con: “You didn’t have to watch every X-Men movie to enjoy that. Rick has a history and the history will be present within him and it’ll be a big part of who he is, but it’s likely going to be a very different Rick that we see as well. New audiences will be like, ‘Oh, that’s the guy. I want to discover that past history.’ We who know it so well, it’s like, ‘Oh crap, that’s the thing that’s weighing on him from the past.’ You gotta invite both those people, which we try to do with the shows.”
He adds: “[The movie will] honor people who have invested the time in their lives and the show, but we can’t do that at the expense of inviting everybody. [Avengers: Endgame] was the culmination of years and years, but I’m sure people who just showed up had a good time.“
Robert Kirkman also assured The Walking Dead fans this year the film is still happening. He says: “If anything, the pandemic is going to make a lot of movies better. I think the Rick Grimes movie chief among them, just because we’re getting a lot more time to cook this thing and make sure it’s perfect. I don’t want anyone to think that we’re just kind of waiting around for this pandemic to end.”
We’ll keep you updated.
