Agents of SHIELD Star Ming-Na Wen Reveals Why Working with Clark Gregg was 'So Much Fun'


There is little doubt that the cast and crew of Agents of SHIELD are all sad now that the series is coming to an end. However, it looks like Ming-Na Wen only has great memories to look back on after working on the ABC show. The star of The Mandalorian has just revealed why she had "so much fun" working with Clark Gregg.

Wen recently spoke to Collider about Agents of SHIELD Season 7 and she shared her thoughts on Melinda May's relationship with Phil Coulson.

"It was surprising. Because it was Coulson that recruited May, in the beginning, and you only later found out that it was actually the opposite and that Nick Fury was the one that set it up and wanted May to keep an eye on Coulson," Wen said. "And they were at the Academy together. They've always had this incredible history together and friendship. It was ever-evolving, and the fans actually had a say in instigating the Philinda movement."

Not surprisingly, Wen continued by stating that the chemistry between May and Coulson had a lot to do with how much she and Gregg enjoyed working together.

"It was such a fun synergy. Clark is great. He knows this world so well, and he's such a fanboy about it like I am. We share that nerd love for what we do. It was just so much fun, discovering more and more layers of our relationship as time went on," she said.

We're loving the idea that these two had a lot of screentime together and it is pretty disappointing that the show is coming to an end. Nevertheless, it's great to know that the friendship between Wen and Gregg could last a lot longer.

Agents of SHIELD Season 7 airs on ABC every Wednesday nights.
