'Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' Season 4 Spoilers: Brett Dalton Returns As Grant Ward
Marvel's "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." is set to bring back a fan-favorite character when it returns in April. Actor Brett Dalton will return to the series as Grant Ward, one of Hydra's secret agents.
It can be recalled that Dalton's character has already been killed off twice in the series. First, he was killed as Ward. In the season 3 finale, he was killed for the second time while he was in the form of the monstrous Hive. After being out of the picture for a while, he reappeared in the season 4 midseason finale, albeit only in a photo.
The new teaser video for the upcoming episode titled "What If" shows Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge) and Daisy (Chloe Bennet) as they try to save the other members of S.H.I.E.L.D.

One part of the clip also shows that as Daisy wakes up in the Framework, there is a photo of her with her arms wrapped around Ward. Based on the video, it looks like Daisy and Ward are actually a couple in the realm run by Hydra.
In his interview with IGN, showrunner Jed Whedon revealed that the world of Hydra will need Ward, confirming the return of Dalton.
"Well, we'll see what happens with him. We see at the end there that his picture's on the dresser. What would a Hydra world be without him?" said Whedon.
Ward and Daisy's romance in Hydra's world probably won't come as a surprise for fans. In the distant past, Ward and Daisy were so in love with each other and everything was perfect between them. Things only began to change after it was revealed that Ward is actually a traitor.
Whedon refused to detail how long Ward will appear in the future episodes of the series, but it looks like he will continue to exist as long as some of the characters are stuck in the other world led by Hydra.
Marvel's "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." returns on Tuesday, April 4, at 10 p.m. EST on ABC.
