Negan is the most brutal villain to appear on 

to date – and he might just also be the strangest.

And star Jeffrey Dean Morgan had a clear warning at San Diego Comic-Con, telling reporters thatthings will get "seriously weird with Negan around" in season seven.

"The comics only give you so much – they\'re great, it\'s a wonderful navigation, but with Negan, it\'s given me an opportunity to do something I have never done before," he said.

Negan first appeared in season six\'s intense finale, brutally beating one of Rick\'s group to death – though the identity of the victim was left a mystery.

"It\'s been hard losing someone – and being the cause of that, in a kind of a way, that also sucked," Morgan admitted.

"But that being said, I feel like I\'ve been embraced by the cast. It\'s gonna be hard – it\'s gonna be hard until it\'s not anymore, and I don\'t know when that\'s gonna be!"

Rick will be a "different man" in Walking Dead...

Flashpoint will have a big effect on Arrow season...

Morgan\'s first scene was a 12-page sequence – most of it an extensive Negan monologue. So it\'s no surprise the actor admitted to being "a little nervous going in."

"But I remember right before I walked out of that trailer for the first time, this weird kind of calm came over me," he said.

The Walking Dead shot "agonising" death scene for Negan victim: "It was a masterclass in acting"

"The rest of the cast were acting their asses off – and to do that, and be that vulnerable, for a guy that\'s just walking in and kind of turned the show upside down, that\'s a testament to them."

Oh – and there\'s good news for fans disappointed that the scene was missing Negan\'s liberal use of the F-bomb from the comic book.

His bad language will be restored on DVD and Blu-ray – with more swear-heavy alternatives of "key scenes" being shot for season seven. F**k, yeah!
