“Iron Man 3,” with the reveal that the character that everyone thought was the Mandarin was actually Trevor Slattery (supposedly an actor of some repute in British theater circles) was a pretty bold move.

Some fans rolled with it, while others were a bit peeved.  Myself, I thought it was a particularly ballsy move on Marvel’s part.  Ben Kingsley was remarkable, and his portrayal of  Slattery was fun and an interesting twist.

When I heard that his adventures were being continued in the Marvel One-Shot “All Hail The King” I was jazzed to see it.

And seen it I have, and so can you, and I say that it was worth the wait.  It’s a bunch of good, cheeky fun.

Hopefully, Slattery turns up on an episode of “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”  That would be all sorts of awesome.
