The Marvel One-Shot will appear on the Thor: The Dark World bluray.
Remember the Mandarin from Iron Man 3? Or, we should say, Trevor Slattery, the poor unfortunate who was tasked with the role of the Mandarin (played to hilarious perfection by Ben Kingsley). Mr. Slattery is the subject of the lastest Marvel One-Shot, All Hail the King, which will appear on the home video release of Thor: The Dark World.
Entertainment Weekly has seen the short, which deals with Trevor Slattery speaking from prison with a documentary filmmaker. And, of course, there are consequences for Trevor. All Hail the King is written and directed by Drew Pearce, who gave plenty of tidbits to the folks at Entertainment Weekly.
“Imagine a real terrorist organization whose beliefs were long held and religious for thousands of years, and imagine a drunk, British actor coming along and essentially telling the world that he’s the face of your organization. I think they would be right to be quite angry. There’s lots of exposition in lots of different cuts of Iron Man 3 that, in the end, kind of got snubbed out. It’s kind of said in Iron Man 3 but very briefly, Aldrich essentially took a thing that was real, historically real and culturally real, and co-opted it for his own means — essentially co-opting an ancient terrorist concept. What [All Hail the King] does is show that everything in Iron Man 1 [involving the terrorist group] was canon all along any way. We kind of knew The Ten Rings were a real terrorist cell."
There are more photos from All Hail the King and a great interview with Drew Pearce over at Entertainment Weekly!
