10 Things Marvel Wants You To Forget About The MCU
6. Trevor Slattery
Let's just forget the character existed at all. For all three Iron Man 3 trailers and the first part of the movie itself, fans got the Mandarin they wanted: a cold-blooded terrorist play to perfection by Ben Kingsley. And then they got Trevor Slattery (collective groan). Simply put, this was a gamble that did not pay off. The film went for comedy and angered a lot of fans in the process. Marvel all but acknowledged this blunder with its One-Shot All Hail The King, which basically said there is another, real Mandarin out there somewhere. An Iron Man versus Mandarin showdown that had Iron Man's technology facing off against the powers of the ten rings would have been epic, with Tony forced to confront abilities he doesn't full understand. Instead of this, you got Trevor Slattery. This is something you, as well as Marvel, want to forget.
Yes, my last name is pronounced exactly as it's spelled. Just like "going to the store". ;) I am an aspiring writer currently working on my first novel, which is GOING to be awesome once it's published. (See what I did there?) I love reading, am a HUGE film buff (who welcomes all trivia challenges), and never miss a New York Giants football game. I'm an open book so if there is anything else you'd like to know about me, just ask.
