Marvel One-Shot: All Hail the King / Infinity War Preparation – 2018 MCU Re-Watch

Week 7 of my Infinity War Preparation – 2018 MCU Re-Watch

A sweary prison-set epilogue to Iron Man 3 where we find Trevor Slattery enjoying his notoriety and being interviewed by a documentary film maker.

I was pleasantly surprised by this. It worked well with a fun yet dark tone and a 1970's feel to it. It serves to tie up loose ends from the Iron Man trilogy, whilst also setting up a possible future film.

The twist in Iron Man 3 pleased some, angered some and surprised most. I was worried this short film would try to amend or ret-con the twist but it was handled very well. Although I suspect this story was not in place before the release of Iron Man 3 and was written to placate the 'fan boy' backlash, it is cleverly done in a way that should please everyone and also manages to be a sly commentary on the internet reaction.

To Infinity: N/A

Mid/Post-Credit Scene(s): A neat callback to Iron Man 2...
