AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D.

Brett Dalton spoke with TV Line about Grant Ward's transformation into Hive and the fact that the Inhuman entity possesses all of Ward's memories.

"As we saw when [the creature] inhabited [spaceman] Will, Ward is still going to walk and talk like a human. And he looks the same on the outside," explained Dalton. "But the character that we fell in love with is no longer... Just as we saw that the creature was able to access the thoughts, emotions and memories that Will had, he'll also have access to all that belongs to Ward."

In an interview with CBR, Clark Gregg spoke about the increasing darkness of Coulson.

"He's carrying a big fat secret and it's a secret only he and Fitz really know -- which is that he made a decision on some level, no matter how much impulsivity was involved, he made a decision to not leave a living Grant Ward on that planet, even though the odds are pretty strong he wouldn't have made it back (although we have seen a number of people make it back from that planet)," said Gregg. "It's a dark move, and it's a move that the writers wrote pretty spectacularly, from the moment of Ward firing a sniper rifle into the throat of Rosalind Price to Coulson jumping out of the plane to squashing [Ward's] chest on that planet. It's very complex, like I can really defend the action as the responsible action of a leader who put someone on a team who ended up killing a lot of people. I can also attach it as the point where somebody who's dedicated their life to protecting people from evil becomes evil. It's very complex. We've got the bigger secret that's out there, that Fitz knows, is that whatever that creature was that may or may not be the source of the Hydra logo is already back on Earth in Ward's body."

Henry Simmons, who plays Mack on the show, also spoke with CBR in a video interview

BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE

Gal Gadot spoke about the importance of playing the icon Wonder Woman in an interview with Glamour.

"For 'BvS' it was important for me that we show how independent she is," said Gadot. "She is not relying on a man, and she's not there because of a love story. She's not there to serve someone else... She has so many strengths and powers, but at the end of the day she's a woman with a lot of emotional intelligence. She's loving."

CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR

Fandango's report from the "Civil War" set includes a comparison between the upcoming Marvel movie and some classic films.

"This is the Godfather of superhero movies!" said star Robert Downey Jr. Co-director Joe Russo also brought up "The Godfather," saying they're similar "because that's a sprawling film with a lot of characters that tells very intricate stories." He added that if "Winter Soldier" was a political thriller, then "Civil War" is like a psychological thriller.

"The movies we've been referencing a lot on this one are 'Se7en,' weirdly," said Joe Russo. "'Se7en,' 'Fargo,' just as far as we're not making comparisons in terms of quality we're just talking influences."

While speaking with USA Today, Sebastian Stan praised the fight scene between his Winter Soldier and Iron Man and Captain America.

"This is how I would look at it: It's three people and they're on a boat in the middle of the ocean, the boat is sinking and the boat may stay afloat with one less person on it," said Stan. "So who has to go? It's inevitable at that point because blood will always win in the end, and [Steve and Bucky] are really like blood brothers."

Additionally, Australia's Event Cinemas revealed that "Civil War" has a runtime of 146 minutes. Fifteen of those minutes will utilize IMAX technology for a scene depicting the clash between the two teams.

Ben McKenzie spoke about where season two is headed in an interview with ComicBook.com. "This can't work out well. It's a tragedy, so everything is sort of doomed on a certain level," said McKenzie, who plays Jim Gordon. "But redemption is around every corner as well, so that's what we're clinging to. At the end of the day, the heroes have to get up in the morning and fight off the evil once again."

B.D. Wong spoke with Collider about the fun he's having playing Hugo Strange. "I am enjoying all of it. It's really fun to be a fan of the show. I caught up with the show before I walked onto the set, and then I walked into my first episode with Robin Lord Taylor, who is Penguin and who is wonderful. It was really, really fun. That show is really fun for actors."

Kristen Hager, who plays Nora Fries, spoke with CBR about giving a voice to the character.

"It's essential to understand why Victor is who he is," said Hager. "I also think it's special to have this be the first time that this has been done, that Nora is an actual living, breathing human being who you get to know. Whether she ends up frozen or not, you actually get to know her as a person before that does, or doesn't, happen. It's just important to finally get her story told."
