Synopsis
Marvel One-Shot: The Consultant (2011) is a four-minute action short you can watch online on iFILM. It was the very first one-shot from Marvel Studios, tucked onto MCU home releases as a bonus feature.
In a diner in Puente Antiguo, New Mexico, S.H.I.E.L.D. agents Phil Coulson and Jasper Sitwell chew over an awkward order from above. The World Security Council wants Emil Blonsky, the Abomination, pulled from prison and folded into the Avengers Initiative. Nick Fury would rather not hand him over but can't say so outright, so the two agents cook up a workaround: send a patsy to General Ross and let the meeting fall apart on purpose. Clark Gregg and Maximiliano Hernández carry the whole thing on dialogue alone.
The little scene quietly stitches The Incredible Hulk into the early Avengers timeline and finally explains why Blonsky never joined the team. A closing cameo from Robert Downey Jr. turns it into a must-see footnote for anyone piecing the MCU together in order. Stream The Consultant (2011) online on iFILM.
