Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Brett Dalton Previews What to Expect From the Creature

Ward may be dead, but that doesn't mean Brett Dalton is going anywhere. When Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.returns, Dalton will be playing an evil and mysterious new threat inhabiting Ward's body.

"The Creature, I think, is a great name for it," Dalton teases, without giving away exactly who - or what - he's playing now. "It seems it can inhabit bodies and convincingly portray whoever they're inhabiting.

"Is there Ward in there? What are his intentions? What does it mean for Malick? Is it human? Inhuman? Who is this creature?" Dalton says. "We're going to have to see what it's like when this creature is now not on Maveth anymore, but in fact back here."

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. returns Tuesday, March 8 at 8/7c on ABC.
