Is Thandie Newton leaving Westworld? Is Maeve really dead?
Then again, didn’t we also see Maeve buried out in the desert? Hasn’t this character come back from so many things before? While the situation is in fact dire and this particular Maeve could be gone, we don’t think you can rule out anything with this show.
First, ask yourselves the following question: Would Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy really want to write out Newton from their show? She is too phenomenal an actress for us to even imagine it. Instead, we think these two love to challenge themselves and also the performers, and work to redefine them in slightly different ways.
As we enter the season 4 finale, it does seem like we are seeing a very different and rather harrowing world. This is one where William seems to be allowing chaos and it raises questions as to whether things can be start anew all over again. With the tower gone, it seems like a re-programming is not going to be easy to do.
We don’t want to make any big assumptions about the version of Maeve that got shot tonight, but we will say this: Unless we hear from one of the showrunners or Newton herself to say that she is leaving the show, we tend to think there’s still a role to play here. The question mostly because what that role could be and how in the world the story will end if we get a season 5.
