14 DAY TRIAL // For those of you familiar with the “Iron Man” franchise, you'll remember the fake villain, Mandarin, marvelously played by Ben Kingsley. Well, it seems fans liked him so much that he was given his very own short film.
The feature is entitled “All Hail the King” and is 12 minutes of pure Ben Kingsley magic. The movie picks up where Iron Man 3 left off, with Mandarin impersonator Trevor Slattery, played by Kingsley, locked up in a maximum security jail, now a celebrity among inmates.
Because of his famous criminal exploits on the outside, Trevor is being interviewed by a documenter played by Scoot McNairy, who tries to piece together how this low-level actor managed to mastermind such a complicated criminal plot.
The ending of the film is a shocker, so it's worth watching just for that. It also opens the door to some potential Easter eggs in the next Marvel productions, and even a full spin-off, if you're to believe the internet rumors.
