First, if you still haven't seen "Iron Man 3," everything beyond this sentence is probably not something that you want to read. In the latest Marvel One-Shot, "All Hail the King" -- Marvel's series of short films that fill in some gaps or answer burning questions from the feature length films -- we learn the fate of failed English actor Trevor Slattery (played by Ben Kingsley). Trevor, as you remember, was hired to portray the terrorist known as the Mandarin during the events that were depicted in "Iron Man 3." After Tony Stark discovered the ruse, the last image we saw of Trevor Slattery was the disgraced (yet now famous) actor being hauled off to jail.
When "All Hail the King" begins (which can be seen on the "Thor: The Dark World" Blu-ray), Trevor is serving his time in prison and has been recounting his experience as the Mandarin to a documentarian (Scoot McNairy).
When I interviewed Kingsley before the release of "Iron Man 3," we had to tip-toe around the fact that Kingsley wasn't playing exactly who most people assumed he was playing. (And a grateful Kingsley is still surprised that the reveal was kept a secret.) Now Kingsley is free to to discuss Trevor and he explains why keeping Trevor's identity a secret was so essential for the success of "Iron Man 3."
