During an appearance at Wizard World Portland, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. star Elizabeth Henstridge seemed to let slip that Grant Ward (Brett Dalton) has been transformed into the Marvel villain Hive, and now showrunners Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen have confirmed the news to Nerdist, as well as releasing a sneak peek image…
“As we saw in the midseason finale episode, Ward is back on Earth, but he’s definitely not the same Ward who went through the portal to the alien world,” state the showrunners. “[This version of Hive] is going to have its own unique twist and be very different from what fans have seen so far. We will see similarities that pay homage to the original character, but fans will see that Hive is taking an exciting new direction in the world of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”
Created as the result of a Hydra experiment, Hive debuted in the comic book Secret Warriors #2 back in 2009.
Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. returns with its midseason premiere on March 8th, and you can take a look at a promo for the episode here.
