Way to possibly spoil something, Variety.

First off, the straight news. The outlet is reporting that Jon Bernthal, Shane on AMC’s The Walking Dead, is in early talks to join TNT’s upcoming drama, L.A. Noir, backed by none other than Frank Darabont, as was reported recently.

Now, reports surfaced a while back of a star on Darabont’s former show wanting to opt out of his contract with AMC, in support of Darabont, and along with Shane’s character arc in the book series, one would have to assume that come the finale of this season, or some point in season 3, Shane will likely be killed off. Sure, Bernthal could do both shows, but that seems unlikely.

What do you guys think? Personally, I really like Bernthal as an actor, and think that he would be one hell of an addition to a series like Noir. Here’s to hoping.
