New Marvel One-Shot announced
It could be a Loki-special
Marvel have announced ' s One-Shot, and it's going to be called All Hail The King .
For the uninitiated, Marvel One-Shots are short films that are canon within the Marvel universe. So, stuff like Agent Carter , which expanded Hayley Atwell's Peggy Carter character from Captain America , and appeared on last year's Iron Man 3 Blu-ray release.
Now, unless Stan Lee and his mates have convinced Bruce Campbell to strap Ash's chainsaw back on, or Elvis Presley to put down his burger-flipper and come out of retirement, we reckon the king ofꦓ the title is probabl♛y going to be Tom Hiddleston.
After all - *OH MY ODIN, SPOILERS* - Tom did end up as king of Asgard at the close of The Dark World . That was an additional scene, shot almost as an afterthought accordi🥂ng to our interview with Marvel honcho Kevin Feige, so perh꧑aps the team have had some more ideas they'd like to explore.
There's certainly plenty of potential for expansion - how did Tom overcome Odin? Actually, where is Odin? How⛄ will Loki exploit his new position of power🐟?
However, Sir Ben Kingsley did , so we're not entirely sure how that fits into this. Could All Hail The King be the Mandarin / Loki crossover⛦ that fan-fic writers across the universe have been craving?
Take another look at that Kevin Feige interview below, then tell us what you think All Hail The King could be about, by commenting below.
