In chronological sequence, this is the final MCU One-Shot as Marvel enters into phase two of its cinematic universe. Written and directed by Drew Pierce, who co-wrote Iron Man 3 has re-teamed with the man who portrays the Mandarin
This short film not only acts as a make up for misleading the audience, but it builds tension to the reveal of an actual Mandarin with a level of gravitas that awaits in the future. The future is imminent as Shang Chi and the Ten Rings has nearly completed production down in Australia and will finally reveal the Mandarin. Hail to the King indirectly provides some top tier marketing exposition to set up what very much will be a summer blockbuster. In addition to Sir Ben Kingsley we see a fellow cellmate Justin Hammer played by Sam Rockwell, at the notorious Seagate prison, the same lock-up for Season one of Netflix's Luke Cage.
