Synopsis
Marvel One-Shot: All Hail the King (2014) is Drew Pearce's short film, available to watch online on iFILM. In fourteen tight minutes, Marvel circles back to the most unexpected figure from Iron Man 3: the fake Mandarin himself.
Washed-up actor Trevor Slattery (Ben Kingsley) is serving time in Seagate Prison and, to his delight, basking in fame, since his reputation as a dreaded terrorist buys him protection and adoring fans behind bars. A documentary filmmaker, Jackson Norris (Scoot McNairy), shows up to interview him. But Norris has his own agenda, and a closing twist ties this jokey little sketch straight into the wider lore of the real Ten Rings.
Pearce, who co-wrote Iron Man 3, turns a cameo gag into a showcase for Kingsley at his most vain, chatty and weirdly lovable. For MCU fans, this is the one-shot that quietly set up Shang-Chi years before it arrived. Stream All Hail the King (2014) online on iFILM.
