Brett Dalton (‘Grant Ward’) and Chloe Bennet (‘Skye’) were among the cast members who showed up at the 2013 San Diego Comic-Con to talk about what could be the most discussed new series of the 2013-2014 television season: Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.. The much-anticipated series will introduce a new batch of Marvel characters as well as bring back a very familiar face to the Marvel universe, Clark Gregg as Agent Coulson. And teamed up to talk about S.H.I.E.L.D., Dalton and Bennet said they’re extremely happy to be a part of the Marvel family and this new ABC series.
“She’s a computer hacker and she finds her way, she stumbles into the S.H.I.E.L.D. world and she definitely stirs it up a bit. She’s got a history and it’s interesting. It’s going to be really cool to watch that unfold throughout the season,” said Bennet when asked to describe her character. “She’s kind of Coulson’s last puzzle piece of putting together this ragtag team of people who’ve never really met, never really interacted, and who have all these different assets but don’t really know how to use it in a team situation.”
As for ‘Grant Ward,’ Dalton says in some ways his character and Bennet’s are the polar opposite. “You do all of your [work] behind a computer and I do all of mine in the field. I feel like Ward is like a Swiss army knife. He has a tool for every situation, but he’s just not used to working with other people. He’s used to being the entire solution. So, it’ll be interesting to see how this Lone Wolf becomes part of a wolf pack.”
