Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 2 Spoilers: Brett Dalton Previews Grant Ward's Future

Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. does not return with new Season 2 episodes until Tuesday, March 3, so fans will have to make due with some spoilers until then.

The latest news comes from star Brett Dalton, who plays Grant Ward, via the "Ask Ausiello" column at TVLine.

"Question: I feel I know almost nothing about Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. for when it comes back in March. Got any scoop (that's not cryptic)? -Andy B.
Ausiello: Dude. It's S.H.I.E.L.D. Cryptic is what they do. That said, Brett Dalton perhaps only rated 7 on a scale of 10 when teasing for us Ward's next move, having taken his licks (and a few bullets) in service of HYDRA and Whitehall. 'He's hitched his cart to a horse before - HYDRA- and it hasn't really turned out so well,' the actor notes. 'So, now he's like, unhitching the cart and hopping on his own horse and going his own way.' And maybe just maybe, some day, that could lead him kinda sorta back into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s good-ish graces...? 'I mean, he has a sense of right and wrong, he has a sense of duty and obligation, and I think he's also a sympathetic character,' Dalton contends. 'Though he can be heartless, it's always in the service of something, an intention that is good. So I do feel good about his future. The writers could have given Ward a quick redemption arc, and that would have been the end of it, but they've left him raw, unpredictable... a complete wild card.'"
