A new Marvel DVD is set to be released which means another Marvel One-Shot. Called "All Hail The King" this time it follows Trevor Slattery (Ben Kingsley) as he is incarcerated in Seagate Prison. He is then interviewed by filmmaker Jackson Norriss (Scoot McNairy) about his time as the evil 'Mandarin' under AIM president Aldrich Killian (Guy Pearce). We won't give away to much about what happens in the short but lets just say the terrorist group "The Ten Rings" from Iron Man 1 is not happy with Trevor...
There are apparently a boat load of Marvel Easter Eggs and references in this short film. Here is a rundown of the easter eggs!
- Segate Prison is a known prison within the Marvel Universe. It is most known for Luke Cage (Currently getting his own Netflix series). He isn't outright shown in the short but is alluded to being there.
- The upcoming Netflix Series (Daredevil, Luke Cage, Iron Fist & Jessica Jones) will lead in a mini series called The Defenders. A group that also has a member called Nighthawk aka Jackson Norriss the filmmaker
- Fletcher Heggs (Allen Maldonado) aka The Knight who of Iron Man's villains makes an appearance
- Another inmate called White Power Dave (Matt Gerald) who is at odds with Trevor may appear in another Marvel film. He is not from any comic.
- Stay for the entire credits for a Post-Credit scene for a secret cameo
Again the short will be on the Thor: The Dark World Blu-Ray & DVD. Be sure to read the full review over at Gotham-News
