Agents of SHIELD - Season 2 - New Brett Dalton interview

AE: Season 2 is tomorrow. I can’t wait. How much are we going to see Ward struggle with the choice he made by turning on his team?

BD
: I have always said that he was much more loyal to Agent Garrett. It even feels like Bill Paxton, who plays Agent Garrett, I just call him Bill. (Both laugh.) We had all of our scenes together and I swear I never had more joy than the scenes I had with him. He just taught me to really just have fun with it. That is my shout out to Bill.

I think that Garrett, that was why I brought him up, wasn’t really loyal to Hydra. He didn’t do all of the saluting things and all of that stuff. They were just an organization that was kind of about not necessarily about self-promotion, but self-preservation. There is a beautiful line were he says, ‘The winds were shifting and I turned my sail.’ So it looks like he made his choice to be part of the favorite team.

He did have his own motives. It wasn’t like he got a Hydra tattoo across his chest like Hydra Life or something. (Both laugh.) Ward had a crazy childhood and they gave some hints of that in Season 1. His brother drowning in the well. His parents were being absolute monsters to him. He was always getting picked on. Even in juvie he has bruises on him. He wasn’t the runt of the litter, but he was always getting picked on.

This guy comes along and opens a door. He says, ‘You want to walk through this door? No one will ever mess with you again.’ So that is what kind of happens. When there is an opportunity for empowerment in life he decided to take it. So that was what Season 1 was all about. It was about Agent Ward’s past and his loyalty to Garrett.

He has always been the second man. He is always the loyal student. He will do anything for Garrett. Then Garrett dies. So we are like what does he do now that he doesn’t have someone giving him orders. He is great with orders. He will do what he has to do. Now when it is just him what does he do? What does he really stand for? That is what the project of Season 2 will be about. I think it is pretty cool. We are done with his past. Now we are all about Ward’s future.

  1. I just flip to that scene sometimes just for a laugh just because it kills me. Someone so smart but yet so awkward can't get an automatic sliding door to open LOL.

  2. As much as I hate Ward for what he did I am kind of looking forward to storyline a lot more now. I think they may take it some good places with lots of potential. It would be interesting to see him be not neccesarily a member of the team, since they hate him, but to be kind of an outsider man who helps them if needed. Kind of a lone wolf without a side to be on.

  5. Yes, I hope that's how the show plays it. After he gets out of jail (because he should definitely be there a while), let him play both sides. One day he helps them, the next day he screws them over, depending on his goal at the moment. They hate his guts and don't trust or forgive him, but have no choice but to work with him sometimes to serve common interests. A grey character, neither a hero (pfft) nor a full-blown villain.

  6. He's an anti-hero.
