Interview: Brett Dalton Gives 20 Secrets Of S.H.I.E.L.D.
On Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Brett Dalton plays no-nonsense Agent Grant Ward. He sat down with BuzzFeed to talk about Ward’s softer side, Agent Coulson’s mysterious return, and what Nathan Fillion told him about joining the Whedonverse.1. Agent Ward is serious, but he’s got a fun side, too. Honest!

So far, we’ve seen Agent Grant Ward do a lot of scowling, but Dalton insists his character has a great sense of humor. “He is a very, on the surface, serious, straight-laced, razor’s edge kind of a guy. He’s the kind of guy who makes his bed every morning and it’s military crisp, and has a Spartan-like living situation that’s perfectly clean,” Dalton said, before suggesting we look deeper into Ward. “I always thought he was funny and I never saw him as serious, and I never played him as serious. I saw the humor in it from the very beginning.”
2. And he will be opening up, at least a little.

“I think he’s learning to trust in the team more and other people more, and that’s a big step,” Dalton said of Ward moving toward being a little less of an island.
3. There is a Ward-centric episode on the horizon.

“There are a couple of episodes that emphasize one character maybe a little more than others, and there’s one coming up that emphasizes Ward,” Dalton teased. “You get to know a little bit more about his past.” As it turns out, that serious demeanor isn’t something Ward was born with. “He’s not the way he is for nothing,” Dalton continued. “He is that straight laced and buttoned up because his life has led him to that point.”
4. While Ward is the muscle of the group, Dalton still has no idea what he’s doing.

“None of the action was involved in the audition, and so, I think they just kind of assumed that I could do it all, and they still assume that I can do it all,” Dalton said. “And I just don’t want to say no. They keep writing in this really cool and crazy stuff for me to do, and I just keep saying, ‘Yeah, sure, I can do that.’” Fingers crossed!
S.H.I.E.L.D. character revealed
We already know our beloved Agent Coulson will be staring in the new Joss Whedon TV show, but who will be the other character that will be staring.
It is not know yet who the character will be played by, but the casting calls are known:
It is interesting that Skye doesn't have the title of Agent. So we assume, she won't be working as an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., but more as a consultant.SKYE | This late-20s woman sounds like a dream: fun, smart, caring and confident – with an ability to get the upper hand by using her wit and charm.AGENT GRANT WARD | Quite the physical specimen and “cool under fire,” he sometimes botches interpersonal relations. He’s a quiet one with a bit of a temper, but he’s the kind of guy that grows on you.AGENT ALTHEA RICE | Also known as “The Calvary,” this hard-core soldier has crazy skills when it comes to weapons and being a pilot. But her experiences have left her very quiet and a little damaged.AGENT LEO FITZ and AGENT JEMMA SIMMONS | These two came through training together and still choose to spend most of their time in each other’s company. Their sibling-like relationship is reinforced by their shared nerd tendencies – she deals with biology and chemistry, he’s a whiz at the technical side of weaponry.
Further it seems that none of these characters will have superpowers.
Who do you think should be cast for these parts?
