"Marvel One-Shot" Movies Revealed



Sneak Peek all of the "Marvel One-Shot" films to date, following reports of Marvel Studios co-president Louis D'Esposito confirming he has directed another official short film showcasing WW II character 'Peggy Carter' (Hayley Atwell), who appeared in "Captain America: The First Avenger" and reprises her role in the currently shooting "Captain America: The Winter Soldier".


The official short film will be screened at the 2013 San Diego Comic-Con.


'Marvel One-Shots' are produced by Marvel Studios, set within the 'Marvel Cinematic Universe', included as special features in the Marvel Cinematic Universe Blu-ray releases.



"It's a fun way to experiment with new characters and ideas," said One-Shot co-producer Brad Winderbaum, "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."



"There’s always a potential to introduce a character, " said Marvel's D'Esposito. "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 - and they take off. I could see that happening".



Marvel One-Shots include:



"The Consultant" (2011), released on the "Thor" Blu-ray 3D, directed by Leythum and written by Eric Pearson, with music by Paul Oakenfold, featuring footage from the 2008 film "The Incredible Hulk".



"A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Thor's Hammer" (2011)  released on the "Captain America: The First Avenger" Blu-ray, also directed by Leythum and written by Eric Pearson, with music by Paul Oakenfold.



"Item 47", released on "The Avengers" (2012) Blu-ray, directed by D’Esposito and written by Eric Pearson, starring actors Jesse Bradford and Lizzy Caplan, as a down-on-their-luck couple who find a discarded alien 'Chitauri' gun referred to as 'Item 47'.
