Yeah, while I liked the swerve in action (hilarious), there's a part of me who wants to see Trevor go crazy and become the Mandarin full time. It's an interesting idea in that there's probably not going to be any more Iron Man movies, but perhaps he could be a recurring villain for Agents of SHIELD?
And why would you think it's just a voice over? Why would IM3 staff be needed for that? More than likely Shane Black isn't involved, I'm guessing the people he reunited with was for make-up and more importantly costume, adding some weight to a Mandarin reprise. The MCU One-Shots offer Marvel an inexpensive way to organically react to fan reactions, and we did like Trevor/Mandarin. It's the kind of thing that gave Sharon Carter a One-Shot, and the concept birthed an entire TV Show for Coulson.
