Brett Dalton's Agent Ward has ended up a staple of ABC and Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. after the shocking plot twist towards the end of season one. Speaking with AlternativeNation.net, Dalton elaborated on the plot lines we should be expecting this season. Said Dalton to the interviewer, "Last season was a little bit about his backstory, while this season is really about his future. We get to see who this guy is without Garrett. He’s not around to tell me what to do. He seems to be telling the truth in the show. Who is this guy? What does he want? Is he a purely changed man who has seen the light and only wants to help other people? I don’t know. We’ll experience this together. We’ll figure this whole thing out."
Many were shocked that the legendary actor Sam Jackson had time to film Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. last season, especially with his extensive cameo in the season one finale. When asked by the second interviewer about Jackson's role in the season one finale, Dalton hesitated and said, "Well… that thing was all movie magic! I worked mostly with Bill Paxton, he was on set. The whole temperature of the studio changes when he’s in the room. I was introduced to [Jackson], it was mostly “Hey, what’s up?” A very brief interaction! Eye patch or not, that guy carries weight no matter what he does. We shared the same studio, at the very least. Not sure what else I’m allowed to say!"
On the subject of recent cast addition Kyle MacLachlan, Dalton praised his co-star's acting abilities in the tag of S2E2 despite not actually being on set with him: "...I have met him because obviously we get together for table reads and things like that. He’s a very sweet man, and his performance is just insane!"
