Ben Kingsley is Back as IM3 Baddie Trevor Slattery in Marvel One-Shot

The Marvel One-shot film "All Hail the King" has been leaked and it's featuring Sir Ben Kingsley reprising his role as Trevor Slattery, the faux- "The Mandarin" from Iron Man 3.

It actually comes full circle since we will be dealing closely with the Ten Rings from Iron Man, yes the one that we were actually supposed to see in Iron Man 2 before they decided they wanted to a Hollywood version of "Demon in the Bottle"

Thoughts: I liked Trevor-Trevor not Trevor-Mandarin and while his fate is still up in the air, this one-shot provides us with a juicy tidbit, that the legit Mandarin will still be lurking somewhere in Golmera and yet to make a move against Tony Stark.

Secondly, I love that we also get treated to a Sam Rockwell appearance. Underutilized Justin Hammer is just underutilized. Quips, quips and more quips. Gotta love it. Director Drew Pierce pieced a nice short in under 15 too.

Finally, gotta hand it to the scoring for making it feel like an 'Iron Man' themed score without going all full Black Sabbath or AC/DC on us.

How the Real Mandarin Can Enter the MCU

Latino Reviews broke the news recently about Ben Kingsley working once again with Marvel Studios on a 'secret project'. Turns out, as LR reports, that Kingsley will merely be reprising his role as Trevor Slattery, the actor hired to play the Mandarin in Iron Man 3.

The report states that the real Mandarin will make an appearance in order to extract revenge on Slattery (Kingsley) after the latter and Aldritch Killian (Guy Pearce) made a mockery of his name [as seen in IRON MAN 3]

Details are very scarce and honestly, it's not yet confirmed. But on the flipside, it's pretty obvious that there's no other character that Kingsley can portray except the faux Mandarin/ Slattery. So here's a thought, what's a very plausible entry plot for The Mandarin? Obviously Marvel Studios does not intend to let the character and the epic fail-ness of Iron Man 3's main twist lie dead. 

Here's how it's possible to inject Mandarin into the existing Marvel Cinematic Universe:

- The Mandarin looks for Slattery's whereabouts using agents of the TEN RINGS in 'Murica. 
- Agents locate Slattery in prison (where he was being led to in his last few seconds in IM3). 
- Agents kidnap/swap Slattery and bring him to a secret location. 
- There's a confrontation between Slattery and the 'real' Mandarin from the shadows, with the scene focusing on the ten rings of power. 
- Threats and humor are injected
- Slattery is seen being hauled to an operating room where they... 
- Remove his face/ or change his face
- We see the 'real' Mandarin now wearing Trevor Slattery's face. 

Relax it's my theory anyway. The thing here is that the reason The Mandarin wanted to use Slattery's face is because it's already established. He might have been outed as a fake but let's come back to the classic line in IM3; "You'll never see me coming". By using the fake's face, the governments and people like Tony Stark won't see him coming. They would even see him as a joke, a farce; which will serve him better because he's a terrorist and he wants to always surprise his enemies. 

What do you think? Does this sound feasible?
