Every Marvel One-Shot is now available on Disney+.
After several of the shorts were added to the Marvel hub on Disney+, the streaming service now has every Marvel One-Shot available to view. Originally released as DVD extras, primarily during Phase One of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the one-shots include Agent Carter (2013), Team Thor Parts 1 and 2 (2017), Team Darryl (2018), Item 47 (2012), The Consultant (2011) and A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Thor's Hammer (2011).
Both the Item 47 and Agent Carter one-shots ultimately led to the creation of both Agents of SHIELD and Agent Carter, starring Hayley Atwell, as Marvel Television series. The Consultant stars Agent Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) and serves as an explainer for a continuity error that occurred in 2008's The Incredible Hulk, where Robert Downy Jr.'s Tony Stark is shown as the one who first presented the idea of the Avengers. Gregg also stars in A Funny Thing... where he is shown foiling a gas station robbery while driving to New Mexico to locate Mjolnir.
The Team Thor shorts appeared as extras on the Doctor Strange Blu-ray, which depicted what Chris Hemsworth's God of Thunder was doing in his absence during Captain America: Civil War. The follow-up, Team Darryl, appeared on the Blu-ray for Thor: Ragnorok and featured Jeff Goldblum.
Among the one-shots is All Hail the King, written and directed by Iron Man 3 (2013) co-writer Drew Pearce, which was added early last year as essential viewing ahead of the release of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. The short sees Trevor Slattery (Sir Ben Kingsley) in prison following the events of the third Iron Man film, but is then taken captive by the Ten Rings organization for impersonating their leader, later revealed to be Wenwu (Tony Leung) in Shang-Chi.
While All Hail the King is not a new addition, Agent Carter returns after being removed from Disney+ entirely in September 2021. The short was also included as an extra for Iron Man 3, and would lead to a series of the same name starring Atwell's Peggy Carter. At the time, a reason for its removal from the streaming service was not provided.
Marvel Studios hasn't produced a Marvel One-Shot since Team Darryl, though co-president Louis D'Esposito said in 2018 that Disney wants more one-shots from Marvel, but timing is a major issue. "We're just so busy," he said at the time. "Disney wants us to do it, we want to do it, and I keep telling them, 'I'll do it on the next film,' but I keep breaking my promise."
For now, all seven Marvel One-Shots are available on Disney+.
