Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Emma Rios Joins The Art of Level 7 With a Look Inside of Ward's Head

With just two episode left of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Emma Rios's new poster for next week's episode "Ragtag" takes a look inside of the mind of Agent Grant Ward, the HYDRA mole who has been the focus of almost every episode since Captain America: The Winter Soldier. "We feel like Ward is showing all these different colors, and we thought it might be fun to show how Ward became Ward," said producer Jeffrey Bell at EW, where the "Art of Level 7"  images have debuted every week. "Nothing definitive, because we're still driving towards our conclusion with Deathlok and Raina and Garrett and Quinn and our cavalcade of bad guys, but Ward really is front and center in this episode. And showing his relationship with Garrett, and how that was shaped over the years, was really fun. [Bill] Paxton and Brett [Dalton] did an amazing job together." He added, "I really do feel Ward is trapped between two families, or the two pulls. Because as we learned, he really does care for Skye. And I do believe he cares for Fitz and Simmons and the whole team, to a certain extent, and that he was following orders. On the other hand, he has this deathly obligation to Garrett, and I think the poster does a nice job of capturing this. On one hand, Ward is alone, and on the other, you see him with the team, and see Skye's face behind the S.H.I.E.L.D. logo. I think the poster captured that very nicely." Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
