The first season
of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. ended with Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D. secrets wreaking
havoc not only on the organization, but also on its agents. Ward turned out to
be a traitor, and Agents Coulson and May bond and trust got stretch pretty
thin.
Speaking to
Marvel, Ming-Na said the relationship between Coulson and her has been fixed,
now that he knows why she did what she did.
"I think
they’ve patched things up, and they respect and understand each other enough
and have a strong enough friendship where both understand why she had to follow
orders. So they’re in a good place. I don’t know how much of this I can give
away. What’s really great is [now] that Coulson has new duties as Director in
rebuilding S.H.I.E.L.D., he’s got his hands full in coordinating and recruiting
S.H.I.E.L.D. members that he feels he can trust. So May is now his right
hand man, or I guess, his right hand woman, I should say, in dealing with the
ragtag gang of S.H.I.E.L.D. members we have left and in conducting missions. I
love the fact that May now has a lot more duties and she really, truly, is in
the field, which is a thing that she didn’t want in the beginning. She’s
completely immersed in it and she understands why she has to be."
At first Agent May didn't saw
anything in Skye, but now given all that the team has been through, and judging
by the teaser and clips from season 2 things changed.
"May does
see the potential in Skye. She’s proven herself many times over the course of
the last year in certain missions, [especially with] how [Skye] had to handle
Ward when she found out he was Hydra. She’s really proven herself under stress.
However, I think the other layer is that both Coulson and Skye share this
mysterious blue formula that’s in their system. Being her S.O., I think, is
something that serves several purposes. One is that she can keep an eye on
Skye, she can get to know her better, and if there are any changes that happen
in her she’ll be able to pick up on it much quicker. At the same time, she’s a
real asset to the team as far as being able to go into the field, and we need
every single member that we can get and Skye is someone that she can trust.
It’s just a matter of also keeping an eye on her."
The actress then spoke about the
things she would like to do and see from her character in the upcoming second
season.
"I think some of her backstory, it would be
wonderful if that surfaced a bit. I don’t mind her being an enigma and being
mysterious because I know where her heart is, but I really think for the fans,
especially, what happened [in] Bahrain is very, very important. And maybe some
of her backstory like who the hell her mom is, I would love to explore that.
I’m always joking, “Oh, she worked for MI-6 and [maybe] she had a moment with
James Bond years ago. Maybe James Bond is [May’s] father!” I go crazy with all
kind of backstories just for fun.
But I think for me, just having an opportunity
to see all the various aspects that she’s capable of as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent
and all her training from the academy. Not just about fighting and being able
to keep her emotions in check or flying a plane and doing all those cool
things, but maybe some of the more espionage type stuff, the undercover stuff.
Like the one time where [Coulson and May] did the nerdy thing [in Season 1],
that was so much fun. I would love to explore those sides of her. And her more
feminine needs, I guess, because obviously, she’s not shy about it, like when
she hit up Ward. [laughs] She’s
just such a woman, I’d love to explore all those aspects about her. And her
relationship with Coulson, what that’s really about. I think there is a
deep-seated love, a friendship from life experiences together. It’s such a
strong bond."
Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. returns on
September 23rd.
