SHIELD: Coulson is ”Messed Up on a Deep Level”
Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD returns Tuesday night on the heels of some big events in last December’s midseason finale. In that episode, Coulson (Clark Gregg) finally decided to put an end to Grant Ward (Brett Dalton) once and for all, killing him and leaving his corpse behind on the alien world he’d traveled to…
…Of course what Coulson doesn’t know, but we do, is Ward’s body then became inhabited by the Inhuman monster known as Hive, returning to Earth to find Gideon Malick an the rest of Hydra.
With SHIELD back, I spoke to Gregg about what murdering Ward has done to Coulson and how that secret is weighing on him, even as the threat of Hive approaches.

More on Hawkeye and Scarlet Witch’s Civil War Roles
Captain America: Civil War features a ton of Marvel superheroes, as Captain America (Chris Evans) and Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) battle, as their fellow Avengers – and some new allies – must decide which side they’re on.
Joining Captain America in battle are both Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) and Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), as the two Avengers align with Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan), Falcon (Anthony Mackie) and Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) against Iron Man’s team.
During a visit to the set of Civil War, Renner and Olsen sat down with press to discuss where the film finds their characters after the events of Age of Ultron, what it's like to have friend battle friends in this movie and why Chadwick Boseman’s Black Panther costume is the most difficult for any of the cast members to wear.
The Division Expansions Coming To Xbox One First
The Division's first two paid expansions will have 30-day exclusivity on Xbox One, Ubisoft has announced.
The first expansion, titled Underground, will release in June on Xbox One, while Survival, the second piece of paid content, will release later in the summer.
The third expansion, The Last Stand, arrives next winter and will release simultaneously on all platforms, however. The two free content updates, Incursions and Conflict, will also release simultaneously.
We've known about the Xbox One DLC exclusivity deal for a while now, but the duration of it hasn't been confirmed until today.
Last week, Ubisoft detailed exactly what players can expect from both paid expansions and free content for the game's first year. Incursions, the first free update, will release in April, followed by Conflict in May.

Disney XD's DuckTales reboot brings back Scrooge McDuck and his grandnephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie, and—of course—Donald Duck.
According to Marc Buhaj, senior vice president of programming, Disney XD "drew its inspiration from Disney legend Carl Barks' comic books," which set an "enduring standard for animated entertainment that connects with both kids and adults." The network hopes to bring "the same energy and adventurous spirit" to the new generation.
The Magicians’ Kacey Rohl on the Joys of Being Bad
Hannibal alum Kacey Rohl has a notable recurring role as the very powerful, very dangerous Hedge Witch, Marina, on Syfy’s The Magicians these days, but that should come as no surprise, because the Canadian actress seems to be appearing on just about every other show these days.
In the past month, besides her recurring role on The Magicians, Rohl has been seen in The X-Files and iZombie, and she’s currently filming the second season of Wayward Pines, debuting this summer. On top of that, she’ll be guest starring on Once Upon a Time this coming Sunday, playing Megara, as the show delves into a storyline about Hercules.
I spoke to Rohl about what’s to come on The Magicians with Marina, what Marina thinks of Julia and Kady and what to make of a character whose protection skills cause you to gush blood from your head if you try and steal from her.
Warcraft Lore: A Quick and Easy Guide
With both the Warcraft movie coming out and a new World of Warcraft expansion in the works, now's a good time to brush up on your Azerothian history with this gnome-sized primer.
The Warcraft universe has witnessed an absurd degree of retconning over its 22-year existence, but the following accurately reflects the lore as it currently stands… we think.
In the beginning were the titans — colossal metallic beings who brought order to the newborn universe by shaping the landscapes and races of millions of worlds. No one knows what came before them, but these benevolent rulers kept these worlds safe from the demons living in the interdimensional plane of the Twisting Nether.
