Rick's Spinoff Trailer Reveals His Big CRM Role

Rick's Significance in the CRM

The Ones Who Live's trailer revealed that Rick Grimes' role in the CRM is much bigger than previously suggested. After his cameo in The Walking Dead season 11 finale and the teaser trailer, it appeared that Rick would be nothing more than a regular CRM worker. However, the trailer hinted at a more significant role for Rick within the group, especially after showing him in intense action sequences.

The Ones Who Live's Villain, Major General Beale, was referenced in World Beyond, but his direct interaction with Rick suggests that Rick holds some importance to the CRM. This one-to-one conversation and the subsequent intense action sequences with Rick's involvement further confirm his significant role within the facility.

Given the expansive reach of the CRM and their potential connections with other groups, it makes sense for Rick's character to have a larger role within the organization. Although Rick may not be a leader within the group, his conversation with Beale and his involvement in critical missions indicate his crucial role in the CRM.

Rick's Role as a CRM Pilot

The Ones Who Live's trailer hinted at a surprising revelation - Rick Grimes may be a pilot for the CRM. This revelation adds an intriguing layer to Rick's character, as it was never previously suggested in The Walking Dead that Rick had the skills to fly a helicopter. However, the trailer suggests that Rick's many years with the CRM could have led him to pilot status, showcasing his adaptability and survival instincts.

The role of a pilot within the CRM is significant and could have major implications for the upcoming spinoff. It not only indicates Rick's involvement in potential warfare but also hints at the possibility of his escape. The access to a helicopter could become a crucial factor in Rick's journey, potentially leading to his freedom and his reunion with Michonne.

Implications for The Walking Dead's New Spinoff

Rick Grimes' CRM role has major ramifications for the upcoming spinoff. His status as a pilot could delay his reunion with Michonne and force him to make drastic decisions in the face of unknown survivors. The trailer emphasizes the deadly potential of helicopters, signaling that they may play a significant role in combat within The Ones Who Live.

The access to a helicopter presents an opportunity for Rick to secure his freedom and potentially rescue Michonne and her new group. This adds an intriguing layer to the spinoff, setting the stage for high-stakes conflicts and daring maneuvers.
