Anybody who’s seen Charlize Theron’s “Atomic Blonde” can draw an easy parallel between the heavily stylized violence of that movie and the ferocious battle between Maggie Rhee and Leah Shaw. Despite how bloody and horrific this fight is, Lauren Cohan herself says it’s one of her favorite scenes in all of “The Walking Dead.”
“It was like, one of my favorite scenes I’ve ever done on ‘Walking Dead.’ It was so fun. Lynn is so invested and fierce and fun,” Cohan said. “And we wanted to make that fight as brittle as we could, and not hold back.” Although Cohan certainly had a lot of fun filming this incredible fight sequence, she also went on to emphasize how sad and poignant this moment is: saying that both Maggie and Leah have shared experiences of grief and loss, and the fact that they are not able to see eye-to-eye is extremely powerful.
“It was an outpouring of all the rage and the grief and the loss and the basic survival, animalistic survival that this world really is and calls for sometimes,” she said. Cohan’s comments make it clear that this particular fight had an enormous impact on her, not only because of how fun it was but also because it symbolizes much of the tragedy at the heart of “The Walking Dead.”
