In August 2011, Marvel announced a couple of short films would be released [[direct-to-video]]. Co-producer Brad Winderbaum said "It's a fun way to experiment with new characters and ideas, but more importantly it's a way for us to expand the Marvel Cinematic Universe and tell stories that live outside the plot of our features." |

Marvel Studios co-president Louis D’Esposito reiterating this idea stating that the goal of ''Item 47'' was to "expand the world and show you the more human elements of it". He continued that Marvel is wrestling with the idea of introducing established characters who may not yet be ready to carry their own feature films in future One-Shots, "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".<ref name=" |

In July 2013, D’Esposito said he considered making stand-alone shorts for several characters, including [[Loki (comics)|Loki]], a young [[Nick Fury]], and [[Black Panther (comics)|Black Panther]]. Regarding Loki, D’Esposito said "Being on Asgard is very difficult for us to do in a short. It’s just impossible for us cost wise. The short would be 30 seconds, and it’s over. One shot of Loki on Asgard." On Fury and Black Panther, he remarked "It’s very complicated to do: who plays those characters? And designing the costume, getting it going … 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."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://insidemovies.ew.com/2013/07/17/marvel-one-shots-agent-carter-ms-marvel-loki-young-nick-fury-black-panther/|title=Marvel One-Shots: Might 'Agent Carter' clear way for Ms. Marvel, Loki, young Nick Fury, or Black Panther?|last=Breznican|first=Anthony|publisher=Entertainment Weekly|date=July 17, 2013|accessdate=July 17, 2013}}</ref> During the ''Agent Carter'' panel at the 2013 [[San Diego Comic-Con International]], D'Esposito stated it is being considered to bring the shorts to the theaters, appearing before features.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/07/20/comic-con-we-have-seen-agent-carter-the-new-marvel-one-shot-and-it-rules|title=Comic-Con: We Have Seen Agent Carter, the New Marvel One-Shot -- and It Rules|last=Collura|first=Scott|publisher=IGN|date=July 19, 2013|accessdate=July 20, 2013}}</ref> |

At the 2011 San Diego Comic-Con, Marvel announced that ''The Consultant'' would appear exclusively on the ''[[Thor (film)|Thor]]'' [[Blu-ray]] release on September 13, 2011. It was directed by Leythum and written by Eric Pearson, with music by [[Paul Oakenfold]]. Co-producer Brian 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 the first Iron Man film?"<ref name="MarvelAnnouncement" /> |

At Sitwell's urging, Coulson reluctantly sends "The Consultant": [[Iron Man|Tony Stark]]. As partially depicted in the post-credits scene of ''[[The Incredible Hulk (film)|The Incredible Hulk]]'', a disgraced Ross sits drinking in a bar, when he is approached by Stark, who annoys Ross so much that he tries to have Stark removed from the bar. In reply, Stark buys the bar and has it scheduled for demolition. The next day, Coulson informs Sitwell that their plan worked, and that Blonsky will remain in prison. |

When the robbers ask whose car is outside, Coulson exposes himself, surrenders his keys, and offers to surrender his pistol as well. As he is about to turn over the gun, Coulson distracts the robbers and subdues both men in seconds.

Bennie and Claire, a down-on-their-luck couple find a discarded [[Chitauri]] gun ("Item 47") left over from the attack on New York City in ''The Avengers''. The couple use it to rob a few banks, which draws the attention of S.H.I.E.L.D. S.H.I.E.L.D. agents Sitwell and Blake are assigned to retrieve the weapon and "neutralize" the couple. Sitwell tracks the couple down to a motel room, which is wrecked in the subsequent confrontation with all the stolen money blown to pieces. Instead of killing the couple, Sitwell invites them to join S.H.I.E.L.D., with Bennie assigned to the R&D 'think-tank' to reverse engineer the Chitauri technology, and Claire becoming Blake's assistant. |

The film takes place one year after the events of ''[[Captain America: The First Avenger]]'', in which Agent Carter, now a member of the Strategic Scientific Reserve, is stuck compiling data instead of working field cases. One night while alone in the office, the case line rings, informing Carter of the location of the mysterious [[Zodiac (comics)|Zodiac]]. She goes to the location, and is able to retrieve the serum single-handily. The next day, her [[misogynistic]] boss, Agent Flynn, reprimands hers for not going through the proper procedures to complete the mission. As Flynn heads to his office, the case line rings, with [[Howard Stark]] on the other end. He tells Flynn to inform Carter that she will co-head the newly created S.H.I.E.L.D. and that Flynn must personally assist Carter with her things. In a mid-credit scene, [[Dum Dum Dugan]] is seen poolside with Stark, marveling at two women wearing the newly created [[bikini]]s. |

Marvel One-Shots are a series of direct-to-video short films produced by Marvel Studios, set within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). They are included as special features in the MCU film's Blu-ray and digital distribution releases, and are not included on the DVDs.
The first two films star Clark Gregg as Phil Coulson, and offer up self-contained stories about a day in the life of a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. The third film stars Lizzy Caplan and Jesse Bradford as a down-on-their-luck couple who find a discarded Chitauri gun after the events of The Avengers. The fourth film stars Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter after the events of Captain America: The First Avenger. The fifth film stars Ben Kingsley as Trevor Slattery after the events of Iron Man 3.
Development
In August 2011, Marvel announced a couple of short films would be released direct-to-video. Co-producer Brad Winderbaum said "It's a fun way to experiment with new characters and ideas, but more importantly it's a way for us to expand the Marvel Cinematic Universe and tell stories that live outside the plot of our features." The first two films were made in conjunction with The Ebeling Group, being directed by Leythum and written by Eric Pearson.[1]
Marvel Studios co-president Louis D’Esposito reiterating this idea stating that the goal of Item 47 was to "expand the world and show you the more human elements of it". He continued that Marvel is wrestling with the idea of introducing established characters who may not yet be ready to carry their own feature films in future One-Shots, "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".[2]
In July 2013, D’Esposito said he considered making stand-alone shorts for several characters, including Loki, a young Nick Fury, and Black Panther. Regarding Loki, D’Esposito said "Being on Asgard is very difficult for us to do in a short. It’s just impossible for us cost wise. The short would be 30 seconds, and it’s over. One shot of Loki on Asgard." On Fury and Black Panther, he remarked "It’s very complicated to do: who plays those characters? And designing the costume, getting it going … 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."[3] During the Agent Carter panel at the 2013 San Diego Comic-Con International, D'Esposito stated it is being considered to bring the shorts to the theaters, appearing before features.[4]
In October 2013, Ben Kingsley had revealed his involvement in All Hail the King, saying he was working on a secret project with Marvel involving "many members of the crew that were involved in Iron Man 3."[5]

The Consultant (2011)
At the 2011 San Diego Comic-Con, Marvel announced that The Consultant would appear exclusively on the Thor Blu-ray release on September 13, 2011. It was directed by Leythum and written by Eric Pearson, with music by Paul Oakenfold. Co-producer Brian 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 the first Iron Man film?"[1]
Set after the events of Iron Man 2 and The Incredible Hulk,[1] Agent Coulson informs Agent Sitwell that the World Security Council wishes Emil Blonsky released from prison to join the Avengers Initiative. They see him as a war hero and blame the devastation in New York City on Bruce Banner. The Council orders them to send an agent to ask General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross to release Blonsky into S.H.I.E.L.D. custody. As Nick Fury doesn't want to release Blonsky, the two agents decide to send a patsy to sabotage the meeting. At Sitwell's urging, Coulson reluctantly sends "The Consultant": Tony Stark. As partially depicted in the post-credits scene of The Incredible Hulk, a disgraced Ross sits drinking in a bar, when he is approached by Stark, who annoys Ross so much that he tries to have Stark removed from the bar. In reply, Stark buys the bar and has it scheduled for demolition. The next day, Coulson informs Sitwell that their plan worked, and that Blonsky will remain in prison.
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Thor's Hammer (2011)
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Thor's Hammer was included on the Captain America: The First Avenger Blu-ray release on October 25, 2011.[8] It was directed by Leythum and written by Eric Pearson, with music by Paul Oakenfold. The short stars Clark Gregg reprising his role as Agent Phil Coulson.[1]
Set before the events of Thor,[1] Phil Coulson stops at a gas station on his way to Albuquerque, 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 exposes himself, surrenders his keys, and offers to surrender his pistol as well. As he is about to turn over the gun, Coulson distracts the robbers and subdues both men in seconds. He then nonchalantly pays for his snacks while subtly advising the clerk not to mention his involvement and leaves the station.
Item 47 (2012)
Item 47 was released on Marvel's The Avengers Blu-ray on September 25, 2012. The film stars Lizzy Caplan and Jesse Bradford as Claire and Bennie, respectively. The film also sees the return of Agent Sitwell, played by Maximiliano Hernández, and introduced Agent Blake, portrayed by Titus Welliver. It was directed by Marvel Studios co-president Louis D’Esposito and written by Eric Pearson. The film has a runtime of 12 minutes, longer than the previous films, which were no longer than 4 minutes.[2]
Bennie and Claire, a down-on-their-luck couple find a discarded Chitauri gun ("Item 47") left over from the attack on New York City in The Avengers. The couple use it to rob a few banks, which draws the attention of S.H.I.E.L.D. S.H.I.E.L.D. agents Sitwell and Blake are assigned to retrieve the weapon and "neutralize" the couple. Sitwell tracks the couple down to a motel room, which is wrecked in the subsequent confrontation with all the stolen money blown to pieces. Instead of killing the couple, Sitwell invites them to join S.H.I.E.L.D., with Bennie assigned to the R&D 'think-tank' to reverse engineer the Chitauri technology, and Claire becoming Blake's assistant.
Agent Carter (2013)
Agent Carter, released on the Iron Man 3 Blu-ray release on September 24, 2013, as well as part of digital download release on September 3, 2013, sees Hayley Atwell reprise her role as Peggy Carter.[9] It was directed by Louis D’Esposito and written by Eric Pearson.[6]
The film takes place one year after the events of Captain America: The First Avenger, in which Agent Carter, now a member of the Strategic Scientific Reserve, is stuck compiling data instead of working field cases. One night while alone in the office, the case line rings, informing Carter of the location of the mysterious Zodiac. She goes to the location, and is able to retrieve the serum single-handily. The next day, her misogynistic boss, Agent Flynn, reprimands hers for not going through the proper procedures to complete the mission. As Flynn heads to his office, the case line rings, with Howard Stark on the other end. He tells Flynn to inform Carter that she will co-head the newly created S.H.I.E.L.D. and that Flynn must personally assist Carter with her things. In a mid-credit scene, Dum Dum Dugan is seen poolside with Stark, marveling at two women wearing the newly created bikinis.
All Hail the King (2014)
All Hail The King is scheduled to be released on February 25, 2014 with the Blu-ray release of Thor: The Dark World.[10] The film stars Ben Kingsley reprising his role as Trevor Slattery from Iron Man 3, with Scoot McNairy as a documentary filmmaker who’s putting together a piece about the aftermath of the Mandarin situation and is written and directed by Drew Pearce, the co-screenwriter of Iron Man 3.[7]
