'Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D' Star Ming-Na Wen Talks About A Possible Melinda May/Phil Coulson Romance And Why Marvel Makes The Best Shows

Is romance brewing in 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D?'

Fans of the Marvel TV series have started wondering if there could be a "thing" happening between Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) and Melinda May (Ming-Na Wen) in the third season.

Luckily, Ming-Na Wen has the answer.

According to CBR, the lady who provided the voice of Mulan attended the recent Fan Expo Canada. Ming-Na Wen happily responded to all questions, especially the inquiry about the relationship between Coulson and May.

"They don't flirt, you know," Wen laughed. "There's such a bond between Coulson and May, and the history that they have. In the backstory for Melinda, they went through the academy together, so they have a lot of history."

Ming-Na Wen also shared a secret on why Agent Coulson and Melinda May make such a good team.

"Sometimes the best kind of love is coming through friendship and having a shared history and betraying each other and lying to each other. That's all love," she said.

The 'Stargate Univese' actress offered an awesome response when asked why viewers can easily connect to 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'

"The reason why Marvel is so good at connecting with the people is because they are telling human stories in a fantastical world," Wen said. "It's about humanity. It's about connection, family and learning if you can trust or believe in people when they've turned on you."

Of course, the action sequences help as well.

"All those elements, and dealing with your own inner demons, which a lot of these characters do -- plus the explosions, the fight scenes and the humor -- all adds to it," Wen concluded.

Ming-Na Wen also admitted that she is a major geek who just wants to work on anything 'Star Wars.'

"My ultimate dream is to be in a 'Star Wars' movie," she said. "I'm so close. Have you seen the 'Infinity 3.0' posters? They have a Marvel world. They have the Disney world, and then they have the 'Star Wars' world. 'Mulan' is part of Infinity 3.0. May hasn't gotten there yet. But, I'm like, 'I'm in two. I just need that one!'"

'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' Season Three will premiere on September 29.
