Agents of SHIELD is back, and Chloe Bennet is kicking all kinds of butt on its fourth season. The actress, who plays Daisy 'Quake' Johnson, is now at odds with SHIELD after going rogue from the agency. And, what's more, she's found herself pitted against one vengeful vigilante named Ghost Rider. The actress stopped by New York Comic Con last weekend and spoke with ComicBook.com about her role and action-packed job.

ComicBook.com's Brandon Davis interviewed Bennet about her various fight scenes this season and asked how she felt about the work. "It was really fun," she said. "The first week, we [Gabriel Luna and Bennet] had our really big fight at the end of the first episode. It was new, we were new - we were feeling each other. It was good."

Of course, the addition of Gabriel Luna to Agents of SHIELD brought a new element to production. The actor plays Robbie Reyes, the newest iteration of Ghost Rider who drives a souped up muscle car and hosts a supernatural demon. Bennet talked about her first fight scene with the actor and admitted the shoot went down in a less-than-stellar location.

"We had a really big, intense fight, and it was in this crazy junkyard," she explained. "They were like, 'We cleaned it for you!" And there were still needles, and it was just very disgusting."

She went on to say filming was "really fun, and he was so great right out of the gate." However, there was one point during the shoot that left Bennet wondering about her life.

Laughing, the actress said, "I did have a flaming shelf hanging over my head at five in the morning, and I was like, 'What is my life?' But it was good." Naturally, the fiery prop was used to mimic the flames which come from Ghost Rider's iconic skull, but fans can understand why the actress would be a bit taken back by it. The scene, however, was lit - so Bennet's work was no in vain.

Brandon Davis later asked the actress whether she thought her character and Ghost Rider would team up instead of showdown. Bennet kept quiet about any concrete details, but she did tease fans by admitting she "would never say never."

"I would never say never, you know?" she hinted. "Listen to Justin Bieber."

Fans of Agents of SHIELD have seen the two characters interact throughout the fourth season - even if their relationship has been a rocky one. The heroes clashed in a big way during the first episode, and Ghost Rider was given ample opportunity to off Quake, but he chose to let her go. Luna discussed the decision in a recent interview and explained Ghost Rider let her walk free because he saw Quake as a "penitent woman."

"Given the opportunity, I didn't kill her," Luna said. "So she's intrigued by this creature that she witnessed. Beyond that, we're all heading in the same direction. We all funnel into this one road. While you can't call us a team, we're certainly aligned, but it's mainly because we're all seeking the same thing."

The actor went on to say, "They both have certain things in common, so I think they're going to both be intrigued with one another pretty early on in terms of how they operate."

Marvel's Agents of SHIELD airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
