'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' Season 2 Finale Recap: Brett Dalton Speaks About Ward's Final Transformation Into A Villain
Major spoiler warning for those who weren't able to watch the second season finale of ABC's hit TV drama series "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."
In the final moments of episode "SOS: Part 2," the true nature of Brett Dalton's Grant Ward has finally been revealed.
His character now controls the evil organization Hydra which now makes him the show's supervillain. The actor shared his response to the shocking finale twist.
"To take that person, who was part of the original six, and to make him now the head of the evil organization that's now working against SHIELD, I think is pretty amazing. He's had an incredible arc, and I think it's good for him to go from one of the original cast members to now the Big Bad. It's been quite a journey. It's been a hell of a lot of fun to play," Dalton told Zap2It.
When asked as to what came into Ward's mind when he decided to take sides with Hydra, the actor replied.
"Maybe he saw a business opportunity and he took it. He saw that they were failing in the leadership department and decided to elect himself. The way I look at it, if we go back to the whole idea of closure, he probably sees a lack of closure in the world around him," he said. "It's not just Kara's story that he's trying to tie up, but he also probably sees injustice all around him, and that there are things that need closure. If he has to join an evil organization in order to see that through, I guess he has to."
As to what he hope for Ward in the upcoming Season 3, the actor's statement suggests that his full transformation of being a big bad is "just the beginning" of a whole new interesting chapter.
"And that's what I think is so exciting. When you do have a character that is this far gone, to see a glimmer of maybe he is still a good guy, that would be fun too just to remind people -- or just to confuse them even more," Dalton continued.
"Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." is expected to return to ABC this fall.
