The Consultant(2011) andA Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Thor's Hammer(2011) starClark Greggas AgentPhil Coulsonand offer up brief, self-contained stories about a day in the life of aS.H.I.E.L.D.agent. Marvel Studios then made several longer One-Shots:Item 47(2012), starringLizzy CaplanandJesse Bradfordas a down-on-their-luck couple who find a discardedChitaurigun after the events ofThe Avengers(2012);Agent Carter(2013), starringHayley AtwellasPeggy Carterafter the events ofCaptain America: The First Avenger(2011); andAll Hail the King(2014), starringBen KingsleyasTrevor Slatteryafter the events ofIron Man 3(2013).
The first two shorts received generally negative reviews, but the rest were more positively received and highlighted for their contributions to expanding the MCU. All the One-Shots were made available onDisney+by January 2022, when theTeam Thormockumentary shorts (released from 2016 to 2018) were reclassified as One-Shots.
Development
editIn August 2011, Marvel announced that a couple of short films, designed to be self-contained stories,[1]would be releaseddirect-to-video.[2]Co-producer Brad Winderbaum said they were a "fun way to experiment with new characters and ideas" and expand theMarvel Cinematic Universe(MCU) beyond the plots of thefeature films.The first two shorts were made in conjunction withThe Ebeling Group.[2]Winderbaum said the name of the shorts program was derived from the label used by Marvel Comics for theirone-shot comics.[3]
Marvel Studiosco-presidentLouis D'Espositolater said Marvel was considering introducing established characters who may not yet be ready to carry their own feature films in future One-Shots, stating, "There's always a potential to introduce a character. We have 8,000 of them, and they can't all be at the same level. So maybe there are some that are not so popular, and we introduce them [with a short]—and they take off. I could see that happening."[4]When asked whether a Marvel superhero would ever appear in a One-Shot, D'Esposito replied that "We would love to, but it's difficult because there's a cost to that. IfIron Manis flying around doing something, that [is] very costly. And first of all, what's the story? Is it important that that superhero is in the story? "[5]
During theAgent Carterpanel at the 2013San Diego Comic-Con,D'Esposito said Marvel was considering debuting short films in theaters before feature films.[6]In May 2014, it was revealed thatCaptain America: The Winter Soldier's(2014) home media release would be the first to not include a One-Shot since the program started,[7]and in October 2014, it was revealed thatGuardians of the Galaxy's(2014) home media release also would not include a short.[8]Guardians of the GalaxydirectorJames Gunnsaid a One-Shot was not included with the film due to lack of space on the disc.[9]Marvel Studios headKevin Feigestated in May 2015 that there were no active plans to make more Marvel One-Shots, but the studio was not opposed to continuing the series.[10]
All of the One-Shots were made available onDisney+by January 2022, at which point theTeam Thormockumentary shorts (which were released from 2016 to 2018) were reclassified as One-Shots.[11][12][13]Feige had previously described theTeam Thorshorts as a "doable" version of the One-Shot program, and felt there was potential for future One-Shots to similarly be released as extra content prior to a film's premiere.[14]

The Consultant(2011)
edit
Set after the events ofIron Man 2andThe Incredible Hulk,[2]Phil CoulsoninformsJasper Sitwellthat the World Security Council wishes forEmil Blonskyto be released from prison to join theAvengers Initiative.They see him as a war hero and blame the devastation inHarlemonBruce Banner.The Council orders them to ask GeneralThaddeus "Thunderbolt" Rossto release Blonsky intoS.H.I.E.L.D.custody. AsNick Furydoes not want to release Blonsky, the two agents decide to send apatsyto sabotage the meeting. Coulson reluctantly sends "The Consultant",Tony Stark,and (as partially depicted in the post-credits scene ofThe Incredible Hulk) Stark approaches the disgraced Ross while he is drinking in a bar. Stark annoys Ross so much that he tries to have Stark removed from the bar, until Stark buys the bar and has it scheduled for demolition. The next day, Coulson informs Sitwell that their plan worked and Blonsky will remain in prison.
At the 2011 San Diego Comic-Con, Marvel announced thatThe Consultantwould appear exclusively on theThorBlu-rayrelease on September 13, 2011. It was directed by Leythum and written byEric Pearson,with music byPaul Oakenfold.[2]The short was filmed over 2–3 days.[17]Clark GreggandMaximiliano Hernándezreturn to portray Agent Phil Coulson and Agent Jasper Sitwell, respectively, from the films.[2][18]They are joined via archive footage byRobert Downey Jr.as Tony Stark / The Consultant,William Hurtas General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross, andTim Rothas Emil Blonsky in his Abomination form.[18]Co-producer Brad Winderbaum said the producers "wanted to paint a picture of S.H.I.E.L.D. pulling the strings and being responsible for some of the events seen in the films. What better character to represent this idea than Agent Coulson, the first S.H.I.E.L.D. agent we were introduced to in thefirstIron Manfilm?"[2]Gregg said he was told about the short film program in the same phone call that warned him Coulson would die inThe Avengers.The actor noticed that the One-Shots could then provide more information on Coulson, to "build the audience's relationship [with] him" and make his death in the film more impactful.The Consultantwas written afterA Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Thor's Hammer,due to the latter taking up 80% of the budget Marvel reserved for the two shorts, leaving a remaining budget "for two guys talking".To help with this, Pearson included Sitwell in the short, who had a minor role inThor,and had him and Coulson "brainstorming a way to deal with thisred tapebureaucratic politics of the Avengers Initiative ".[3]
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Thor's Hammer(2011)
editSet before the events ofThor,[2]Phil Coulson stops at a gas station on his way toAlbuquerque, New Mexico.While Coulson shops for snacks in the back of the station, two robbers enter and demand the money from the register. When the robbers ask whose car is outside, Coulson reveals himself, surrenders his keys, and offers to surrender his pistol as well. As he turns over the gun, Coulson distracts the robbers and subdues both men in seconds. He then nonchalantly pays for his snacks while advising the clerk not to mention his involvement to the police.
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Thor's Hammerwas included on theCaptain America: The First AvengerBlu-ray release on October 25, 2011.[19]It was directed by Leythum and written by Eric Pearson, with music by Paul Oakenfold.[2]It was filmed over 2–3 days.[17]The short stars Clark Gregg reprising his role as Agent Phil Coulson,[2]and served to showcase Coulson as "more than just an annoying bureaucrat" of S.H.I.E.L.D.[3]
Item 47(2012)
editBennie and Claire, a down-on-their-luck couple, find a discardedChitaurigun ( "Item 47" ) left over from the attack on New York City inThe Avengers.The couple use it to rob a few banks, drawing the attention of S.H.I.E.L.D., which assigns agents Sitwell andBlaketo retrieve the weapon and "neutralize" the couple. Agent Sitwell tracks the couple down to a motel room that gets wrecked in the subsequent confrontation, and the stolen money gets destroyed. Instead of killing the couple, Sitwell invites them to join S.H.I.E.L.D., with Bennie assigned to theR&D'think-tank' to reverse engineer the Chitauri technology, and Claire becoming Blake's assistant.
Item 47was released onThe AvengersBlu-ray on September 25, 2012. The film starsJesse BradfordandLizzy Caplanas Bennie and Claire, respectively. The film also sees the return of Agent Sitwell, played by Maximiliano Hernández, and introduced Agent Blake, portrayed byTitus Welliver.[4]It was directed by Marvel Studios co-presidentLouis D'Esposito,written by Eric Pearson,[4]and features music byChristopher Lennertz.[20]The short film, which was filmed over four days,[21]has a runtime of 12 minutes, longer than the previous films, which were no longer than 4 minutes.[4]Pearson and D'Esposito had the idea for the short after watchingThe Avengersand thinking, "New York is a mess. There must be weapons everywhere".[3]Item 47partially inspired theMCU television seriesAgents of S.H.I.E.L.D.[7]
Agent Carter(2013)
editOne year after the events ofCaptain America: The First Avenger,[15]Strategic Scientific Reserve AgentPeggy Carteris stuck compiling data instead of working field cases. One night, while alone in the office, the case line informs Carter of the location of the mysteriousZodiac.She is able to retrieve the Zodiac serum single-handedly. The next day, AgentJohn Flynnreprimands Carter for not going through the proper procedures to complete the mission. Carter explains that the mission was time-sensitive, but Flynn is unmoved, dismissing the indignant Carter as an "old flame" ofCaptain America's who was given her current job out of pity for her bereavement. The case line rings again, this time withHoward Starkon the other end, who tells Flynn to inform Carter that she will co-head the newly created S.H.I.E.L.D. In a mid-credit scene,Dum Dum Duganis seen poolside with Stark, marveling at two women wearing the newly createdbikinis.
Agent Carter,released on theIron Man 3Blu-ray release on September 24, 2013, as well as part of the digital download release on September 3, 2013,[22]was seen as a bridge between that film and the then-upcomingCaptain America: The Winter Soldier.Marvel had considered adding it to previous home media releases as well.[5]Hayley Atwellreprises her role as Peggy Carter,[22]along withDominic CooperandNeal McDonoughreprising their respective roles as Howard Stark and Timothy "Dum Dum" Dugan.Chris Evansappears as Steve Rogers / Captain America via archive footage. The short introducesBradley Whitfordas Agent John Flynn andIron Man 3directorShane Blackas the Disembodied Voice.[23][24]It was directed by Louis D'Esposito and written by Eric Pearson.[15]The short was filmed over five days,[21]and reused visual effects shots of 1940s New York fromCaptain America: The First Avengerto save money.[5]Christopher Lennertz returned fromItem 47to compose music for the short, and went on to compose the score for the MCU television seriesAgent Carter,which was partially inspired by the short.[20][7]
All Hail the King(2014)
editTrevor Slatterywas arrested at the end ofIron Man 3and is now held in Seagate Prison where he is living luxuriously, with his own personal "butler", Herman, as well as a fan club of other inmates who protect him. Looking on at the attention Slattery receives isJustin Hammer,who wonders what makes him so special. Slattery has been talking with documentary filmmakerJackson Norrissto chronicle the events of theMandarinsituation seen inIron Man 3.Trying to learn more about him personally, Norriss recounts Slattery's past from his first casting as a child to his starring in a failedCBSpilot. Norriss eventually informs Slattery that his portrayal has angered some people, including the actual Ten Rings terrorist group, which Slattery did not know existed. Norriss tells him the history of the Mandarin and the terrorist group, before revealing that he is a member of the group. The real reason for the interview is to break Slattery out of prison so he can meet the actual Mandarin. Hearing this, Slattery still has no idea of the full ramifications of his posing as the Mandarin.
In October 2013,Ben Kingsleysaid he was working on a secret project with Marvel involving "many members of the crew that were involved inIron Man 3",[26]later revealed to be the Marvel One-ShotAll Hail the King,[16]which was released on the digital download release ofThor: The Dark Worldon February 4, 2014, and on February 25, 2014 for the Blu-ray release.[27]The film stars Ben Kingsley as Trevor Slattery, reprising his role fromIron Man 3;Scoot McNairyas Jackson Norriss, a member of the Ten Rings terrorist organization posing as a documentary filmmaker;[16][25]Lester Speightas Herman;[25]andSam Rockwellas Justin Hammer, reprising his role fromIron Man 2.[28]The short was written and directed byDrew Pearce,the co-screenwriter ofIron Man 3,[16]and was filmed in Los Angeles.[29]Pearce and producer Stephen Broussard had the idea for the short during the production ofIron Man 3,to provide a "fresh take" on the Mandarin character.[3]Music for the short was composed byIron Man 3'sBrian Tyler,with the fake CBS pilot,Caged Heat,receiving a new musical theme composed by 1980s TV-music iconMike Post.[25]

Reception
editCindy White ofIGNwas intrigued byThe Consultantand felt the "snappy dialogue seems to fit right in with what we expect from a Joss Whedon-ized Avengers movie."[18]Scott Chitwood ofComingSoon.netwas disappointed by the short due to a third of it simply re-using the end scene ofThe Incredible Hulkand the rest of the short just featuring Coulson "sitting and having a chat".[37]R.L. Shaffer at IGN saidA Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Thor's Hammerwas fun,[38]while Zachary Scheer wrote forCinemaBlendthat the short was "as hackneyed as that title. It's about four minutes of Coulson being a badass, if the definition of 'badass' is performing needless slow-motion action stunts and then pausing to consider something normal people would consider—like which donuts to buy."[39]
Collider'sAndre Dellamorte saidItem 47was silly,[40]while William Bibbiani ofCraveOnlinefound it to be a success, highlighting the performances of Hernandez, Bradford, and Caplan. He did think Welliver was "saddled with a little awkward dialogue, particularly in regards to Coulson, which doesn't entirely sell".[41]Spencer Terry atSuperhero Hype!said the short was "easily the best" of the One-Shots so far, and attributed that to its longer runtime. He felt that this meantItem 47did not need to rush and was able to give a "clear understanding of both the S.H.I.E.L.D. perspective of the events and the robbers' point of view".[42]
Andy Hunsaker ofCraveOnlinesaidAgent Carterwas a "fun treat" that could lead to some female-focused Marvel films, and also felt it gave Peggy Carter "the send-off she deserves."[43]AtIGN,Scott Collura said Carter was the "big-screen female superhero we've all been waiting for. She kicks so much ass in this short story with such aplomb, using not just brawn but also brains, and it's all very clever and fun".[44]Rosie Fletcher ofTotal Filmpraised Atwell as a "perfect femme fatale-come-special agent", and also praised the visuals of the short as well as its action.[23]By the release ofAgent Carter,knowing thatItem 47had led to the creation ofAgents of S.H.I.E.L.D.and there were discussions of theAgent Cartershort doing the same for a series centered on Peggy Carter, Graeme McMillan ofThe Hollywood Reporterfelt the shorts were no longer "fun little throwaways filled with Easter Eggs" but instead were an important program for Marvel that gave a "sneak peek at the shape of things to come".[45]
IGN'sCliff Wheatley gaveAll Hail the Kinga 9.4 out of 10, and described it as a "return to the loveable personality of the hapless Trevor and a step forward for the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe. It has its twists that should satisfy both lovers and haters of Trevor Slattery. But it's the approach that Pearce takes with the material, from the kung-fu movie style credit sequences to the light-hearted tone that takes a sudden and jarring turn. Kingsley once again shines in the role of Slattery, aloof and ignorant, but more than happy to slide back into Mandarin mode if it will please his adoring fans. Pearce does go for some of the same jokes fromIron Man 3in a sort of referential way, but it's nothing too damaging. "[46]Andrew Wheeler ofComicsAlliancecriticized the way homosexuality was presented in the short, given it was Marvel Studios' first attempt to bringLGBTconcepts into the MCU.[28]
Potential projects
editIn May 2013,DMG Entertainmentsaid they were considering creating a short film, tentatively titledThe Prologue,centered onWang Xueqi's Dr. Wu fromIron Man 3,who only appeared in 10 seconds of the film outside of China; Xueqi appeared in three minutes of the Chinese release of the film.The Prologuewould be composed of sequences shot during the production ofIron Man 3and would explore Wu before the events ofIron Man.DMG added that they were unsure of how they would release the short, saying rumors claimingThe Prologuecould possibly release on television or a future MCU home media release were "speculation".[47]
D'Esposito said in July 2013 that he had considered making stand-alone shorts for several characters, includingLoki,a young Nick Fury,Black Panther,Ms. Marvel,andBlack Widow.However, D'Esposito noted that a story about Loki would be complicated by how costly it is to portray Asgard, while for Fury and Black Panther they would have to cast new actors and design costumes. He added, "We tried. We were there in development, and we tried, but they were very difficult for all the reasons I gave. And we don't want to do something that's half baked because it's not good for us and it's not good for our fans."[5]In February 2014, Pearce mentioned other shorts that he had written that never came to fruition, including ones based onSinandCrossbones,Jessica Jones,andDamage Control.[48]
Feige said in May 2015 that Marvel was not opposed to making more One-Shots,[10]and there was a backlog of potential ideas.[49]In September 2015, he added that with the MCU expanding to three feature films a year they would struggle to find the "time and place" to make more content than that, despite their continued discussions about potential future One-Shots.[50]Spider-ManactorTom Hollandhinted in June 2017 that Marvel was planning on creating more One-Shots,[51]and Pearson reiterated this in October, adding that he had a folder of One-Shot ideas that he had created.[52]Taika Waititi said there were discussions about creating a One-Shot centered on the charactersKorgandMiekfromRagnarok.[14]In April 2018, D'Esposito said Disney hoped Marvel would continue with the One-Shot films, but admitted that the studio was busy focusing on their increased feature film output.[53]In the bookThe Story of Marvel Studios: The Making of the Marvel Cinematic Universe,which was published in October 2021, D'Esposito said more One-Shots were in development.[54]In June 2023, Nicholas Pillay ofComic Book Resourcesopined that Marvel should create new One-Shots to debut onDisney+,as it would provide additional value to the service's subscribers, while being able to expand the wider MCU as the original shorts did.[55]
