Entertainment Weekly debuted the first images and details on Marvel’s One-Shot All Hail the King, which shows Ben Kingsley reprising his role of Trevor Slattery from Iron Man 3.

The 14-minute short will picks up after the events of Iron Man 3, with Trevor serving time in Seagate prison.

Drew Pearce Comments:

Imagine a real terrorist organization whose beliefs were long held and religious for thousands of years, and imagine a drunk, British actor coming along and essentially telling the world that he’s the face of your organization, I think they would be right to be quite angry.

Pearce also revealed that the idea for the One-Shot came from Joss Whedon.

The Further Adventures of Trevor’ was something we had talked about on set all the time, and when we sat down to talk about what the short would be, it was Stephen [Broussard, executive producer of Iron Man 3] and Kevin [Feige, Marvel Studios president] and myself and Joss Whedon and Jeremy Latcham [executive producer of The Avengers.] So we kicked around a bunch of ideas and there were loads of them that we liked, and it was actually Joss who at a certain point went like, ‘Or you could do the one that has Sir Ben Kingsley in it because you have access to Sir Ben Kingsley.

Pearce also reveals this could be a lead up to something more in the Marvel Universe

By the end of the short, there are definitely a lot of exciting other places that are brought up in it that could then go in the Marvel universe. You know, whether that’s an Iron Man movie or another one going into Phase Two or Three.

All Hail the King will debut on the DVD and Blu-ray for Thor: The Dark World,  available February 25.
