BEN KINGSLEY Is Way Too Cool In New Mandarin Movie Clip

All Hail The King is the title of Marvel’s latest One-Shot. You know, those awesome little short films they release on their latest DVD’s?

Well, this tale follows Sir Ben Kingsley’s Trevor Slattery, also known as ‘that dude who pretended to be the Mandarin, but totally wasn’t, and fanboys are still really pissed’, as he enters the American Penal System. It’s destined to get a few big laughs, so check out the latest clip below:

Well played. Although, with lines like that, we’ll never hear the end of “Kingsley is totally the REAL Mandarin!”. Marvel’s just toying with our hearts now. Even though Guy Pearce was incredibly underutilized in Iron Man 3 (what an incredible actor for such a dinky role), his version of the Mandarin should suffice. After all, these flicks are entirely focused on the superheroes, and the villains are only a secondary concern. Unless, of course, you’re talking about Loki. For some reason, everyone loves that grand deceiver, and he’s the only villain destined to hang around for a while. A massively unfortunate state of affairs at the House of Ideas, especially since so many talented actors have done the whole “one and done” thing as villains.

While Marvel’s early attempts at short films were dedicated to resolving any plotholes between their many films, the last 3 have been pretty awesome. Item 47 released alongside The Avengers DVD, and it followed two thieves who utilized a Chitauri arm cannon in their bank robberies. The next flick was even better, though. Agent Carter! It’s a nostalgic look back at the World War 2 Marvel Universe. It was actually so successful that Marvel commissioned a full show. Not bad for a female love interest, huh?

With their track record of quality content, I’m sure All Hail The King will provide some hard boiled Marvel mastery. At least it should suffice until Captain America: The Winter Soldier debuts in April.
