Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. caused quite a stir with its midseason finale ‘What They Become’ back in December as the show opened up a new corner of the Marvel CinematiC Universe by taking the first steps into the world of the Inhumans. Now, with the second half of season two set to get underway this evening in the States, Clark Gregg has been speaking to IGN about his excitement over the Inhumans and their introduction in the show:
“I am [excited]. It’s just a part of the world that I really love. I always clicked the most with the stuff that feels the most… all my favorite sci-fi, all my favorite comics, they were always about stuff that felt like a way you could look at stuff that was too hard to look at in real life. There’s a way that stuff like the Inhumans… Whether it’s in X-Men or whether it’s Inhumans, they always represented people who evolved in a different way where some of them were outcasts or treated like something was wrong with them and yet, perhaps, in many ways represented a vital new part of what we’re supposed to be…. I’m really excited to see how they use that part of it on our show.”

Gregg also spoke about his excitement over Avengers: Age of Ultron and his continued involvement in the Marvel Cinematic Universe: “I can’t wait to see Ultron. I loved going to see Winter Soldier. Especially to go see the next chapter of a movie that I was in the first time, I love the people involved. I can’t wait to see those actors go to the next place. I love Lizzie Olsen. I’ve done a movie with her. We have some New York connections. To see some of those actors added to that mix… There was something really bonding about making the first Avengers, doing all the press for it, I can’t wait to go see that and see where it goes next. And I like that I’m still connected to it in a way. In recent months, Robert and Jeremy have been really cool about being vocal about wanting to see Coulson again whether it’s on my show or one of their little shows and I hope that comes true.”
