Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. cast and crew talk about the connections With Captain America: Civil War

After the show had very strong ties with Captain America: The Winter Soldier and more subtle with Avengers: Age of Ultron's, it seems that once again we will see how the events occurred in Captain America: Civil War will affect the show's future. In a recent interview for Empire, Clark Gregg hints that effectively there will be ties between the movie and the series but it will be more on a concept-level than a reference level.

“It’s something that’s gone on since the end of last season when Coulson made Mack and Daisy partners,” reflects Clark Gregg. “She’s an Inhuman and he seems to be the most suspicious of aliens and Inhumans. That division is very much manifested in our team. Our show is looking at this Inhumans outbreak, and that’s really where the concept of a civil war, our own version of it, is happening.”

On the other hand, Executive Producer and Marvel TV Director Jeph Loeb added:

“This is a show that started with the idea that not all heroes are super," he says, "and now it’s very much part of it. That feeling of whether or not you’re gong to be tolerant of someone who is different is really, at the end of the day, what is at the heart of Civil War and what is at the heart of what we are doing for the rest of the season and possibly going into season four.”

Insofar as Loeb is concerned, Marvel really shines when things in the real world are put through a prism from which you come back out the other side. He elaborates his thoughts on this by saying that:

“I don’t remember a time,” he states, “when feelings about race and religion and gender and tolerance towards man, and man’s intolerance towards man, has been so much on the front burner. We are going to have to figure out how to get along. We are going to have to figure out how to understand that just because people are different, doesn’t mean that they aren’t our friends. That in its heart and core is what we are dealing with in the show.”

Also, actress Chloe Bennet addressed that:

“we’ve complicated [the series] with the fact there are people who have powers and who are also, like, ‘I’m not sure I want to have powers,’ versus people who are feeling, ‘This is my God-given right.’ We’re sort of playing that internally.”

While Henry Simmons, who plays the skeptical Mack, said:
