'Marvel's Agents Of S.H.I.EL.D.': Brett Dalton On What's Next For Framework Grant Ward

Brett Dalton recently returned to “Marvel’s Agents of
S.H.I.E.L.D.” as a kinder, more heroic version of Grant Ward than we’ve
seen before.

While the real Grant Ward died a while ago on the wrong side
of “S.H.I.E.L.D.” (and then again as a Hydra god who exploded in
space), the newest version, who lives in the AIDA-created Framework, is a
secret agent, working inside Hydra as a secret S.H.I.E.L.D. rebel. And with his
Framework girlfriend, Daisy/Skye, now captured
by Hydra and about to be tortured at the hands of Framework Fitz, we could see
an attempt at a rescue mission.

“I think that what we’ve seen from Ward is that if
nothing else, he is a determined and capable son of a b*tch, and if he sets his
mind to something, he’s going to do it,” Brett Dalton, who plays the
character, told AccessHollywood.com ahead of Tuesday’s new episode. “Up
until now we’ve seen in the Framework that they are [an] incredibly, relatively
well-adjusted loving couple and healthy couple. So, I think that, in the
Framework or in the real world, you don’t want to be on Ward’s bad side and I
think that he is now a man with a mission and I don’t think that’s out of the
question. He is certainly not going to sit still.”
