Chloe Bennet Reveals 'Darker' Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Episodes Upcoming

Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is just a few episodes into its freshman run and the reviews have been mixed, but recent episodes have shown a trend in the right direction with darker, heavier storylines that Joss Whedon has made famous in his past shows. In a recent interview, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. star Chloe Bennet told fans to expect more of that in the near future.

Some of the darker moments, for example, came in the episode "F.Z.Z.T.," in which a fireman died from a mysterious virus and the team could not save him. Simmons then got infected with the same virus and tried to commit suicide rather than harm the rest of the team.

Bennet told E! Online that Whedon's signature style will continue to influence the show:

"In true Marvel fashion, most of the stuff that we do touch on is very dark, heavy stuff, but there's also still a lightness to it, you know, even in the darkest moments one of Joss's signature things is to at least make us laugh. We'll see some darker stuff from Ward's past, along with me. Everything gets tied in in the next couple of episodes. Episode 10 is a big, big cliffhanger. I can't wait for everyone to see that. It was torture for me to wait for the next script after reading 10, so I can't imagine what the audiences are going to think. They rocked it."

Bennet also said that Whedon, who is "busy doing this small little movie called Avengers 2: Age of Ultron," appears on set once in a while because, as an executive producer, "he still has a huge say in what happens on the show."

The actress also said she does not know everything about Coulson's (Clark Gregg) past and joked that maybe Captain American could be her long-lost father.
