'''''The Consultant''''' is a 2011 {{short film}} directed by Leythum and written by Eric Pearson.
Set within the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, ''The Consultant'' is the first installment of the ''Film/MarvelOneShots'' series, and was included in the home video release of ''Film/{{Thor}}''.
After the events of ''Film/IronMan2'' and ''Film/TheIncredibleHulk'', the World Security Council wants to release Emil Blonsky (Creator/TimRoth) --The Abomination-- from prison to recruit him for the [[Film/TheAvengers2012 Avengers Initiative]], against the wishes of ComicBook/{{SHIELD}} Director ComicBook/NickFury (Creator/SamuelLJackson).
Because of this, it's up to Agents Phil Coulson (Creator/ClarkGregg) and Jasper Sitwell (Maximiliano Hernández) to brainstorm a way to keep Blonksy's recruitment from happening.

* ADayInTheLimelight: For Coulson and Sitwell.
* BarBrawl: It's subtly implied this might have been the result of General Ross and [[spoiler: Stark's]] argument.
* BatmanGambit: The short has Agents Coulson and Sitwell get out of the WSC's request that the Abomination be placed on the Avengers instead of the Hulk by having General Ross refuse the request. [[spoiler:They send [[{{Troll}} Tony Stark]], in the hopes he'll piss Ross off and get him to refuse to release Blonsky]]. It works.
* ClassifiedInformation:
** Coulson asks Sitwell about his clearance level and as a result he's either he's high enough (the lower range of "Top Secret" in the Franchise/MarvelUniverse) or he didn't think it was important, since he tells him the information he needed to anyway.
--->'''Sitwell:''' It's Level 6. Like you. ... Come on, there's a Level 7?
** Sitwell's crack about a "Level 7" could be [[spoiler:{{Foreshadowing}} to ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'', which gives the concept of Level 7 clearance a more proper introduction. By this time, both of them are at least Level 8.]]
* EarlyBirdCameo: The WSC have a big mention (and are a major part of the plot) in ''The Consultant'' before their main appearance in ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}''.
* GetOut: According to Coulson, Ross's reaction (as predicted in the BatmanGambit) to [[spoiler:Tony]] was to try to have him removed from the bar when he became too irritating.
