Hello, welcome to the first panel of FanonCon 2020! I’m proud to start off this year with a thread dedicated to my personal Marvel Cinematic Universe, Earth-113599. This is an important FanonCon for me because not unlike the mainstream MCU, after years of writing I’ve finally finished the Infinity Saga and can’t wait to introduce you all exclusive trailers for the first three films Earth-113599’s official Phase 4 Slate!
Overview
So, to give you all a little context, here’s everything that’s happened in the MCU recently that paved the way for Phase 4.
After collecting all six of the legendary Infinity Stones from across the cosmos, the Mad Titan, Thanos used them all in unison to successfully snap away half of all life in the universe as a ploy to earn the affection of his beloved, Mistress Death. And he would’ve gotten away with it too if it weren’t for those meddling Avengers!
Thanks to Captain Marvel and her ability to bend light and travel through time, was able to revisit the events of previous films alongside Ant-Man and Deadpool to bring back the best versions of the Avengers from the past to defeat Thanos. Drax the Destroyer, in an ironic twist of fate was able to personally undo the Snap allowing the Avengers to finally defeat Thanos for good and rewrite history forever. Sadly, losing Iron Man and Gamora in the process.
But even though it might seem that all is well, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is never truly at peace, as there are always threats to face and with it a new generation of heroes to fight them.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 Trailer
The trailer starts with a cold opening of Jason Quill listening to his Zune sitting in the hallway of a new ship, distinct from the Benetar and the Milano, while somber music plays. He talks about how it’s been over a year since they defeated Thanos, he knows he should be happy, but he just really misses her. It then cuts to Jason talking to Rocket in the cockpit who says that he misses Gamora too, but that the last thing she would’ve wanted is all of them sitting around feeling sorry for themselves, and to get up ‘cause they got asses to take and names to kick.
The music then quickly turns upbeat as Hey Ya by Outkast begins playing and the MARVEL STUDIOS logo appears, starting off as its usual red before turning brown and rusted.
It then shows a clip of Nebula proclaiming to the Ravagers that they will finish what Yondu started as they're then seen fighting the Guardians of the Galaxy on a desert planet where Moondragon slashes at them with a flexible whip-sword. Drax is then shown limping through Asgard, the imprint of the Infinity Gauntlet still singed onto his arm. Jason is seen getting escorted by the Ravagers onto a beautiful fertile planet until Thor narrates he is one of the most dangerous beings in existence, they’ll never be able to stop him alone. It cuts to Kanoot sitting on the ship, now a teenager, indifferently playing a handheld video game muttering “I am Kanoot.” sarcastically.
The music changes to start playing The Chain by Fleetwood Mac.
STAR-LORD
Star-Lord creates a ball of pure energy in his hand from nothing, showing a look of surprise and amazement when he does it.
ROCKET
It then shows Rocket being dragged through space in a Holographic Space Suit holding an oversized gun, blasting away while yelling “Die Spaceship!”
KANOOT
Kanoot is cornered on both sides by the Blood Brothers until he screams out a battle cry and extends his arm branches and stabs them both simultaneously.
MANTIS
Mantis jump down off a ledge and start using her powers against what looks like a giant spinal cord.
THOR
While floating above the atmosphere Thor charges himself up with electricity before throwing Mjolnir hard enough to split apart a planet in half.
YONDU
Yondu narrates that he is not about to lose the only son he’s ever had as it shows him whistle gently as a dozen Yaka arrows assemble behind him controlled by his Fin.
The Guardians of the Galaxy and Thor all assemble together in a wide angle group shot while Mantis narrates that they’re not friends, they’re family.
GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 3
On the same fertile planet from before, Jason by himself now wanders around aimlessly and screams out asking what’s going on. A loud booming voice then calls out his name “JASON!” as the ground physically transforms into a face which tells him “WELCOME HOME!”
Deadpool: Into the Multiverse Trailer
The trailer starts with Deadpool narrating and introducing himself, explaining that after he helped the Avengers bring back half of the entire human race he became a celebrity. While continuing to narrate it shows clips of him buying a mansion which he moves Domino, Weasel and Blind Al into, hiring a Butler played by Michael Caine, recording a Christmas album, releasing merchandise of himself, and finally putting a Monkey in a suit and sunglasses and training it to become his bodyguard.
The footage suddenly starts to rewind until the trailer starts from the beginning with Gwenpool narrating and introducing herself this time, explaining that after she helped the Avengers bring back half of the entire human race she became a celebrity. While continuing to narrate it shows clips of her buying a mansion which she moves Domino, Weasel and Blind Al into, hiring a Butler played by Michael Caine, recording a Christmas album, releasing merchandise of herself, and finally putting a Monkey in a suit and sunglasses and training it to be her bodyguard. Meanwhile, Deadpool cast off into the background sees everything and screams “WHAT THE FUCK!"
The MARVEL STUDIOS logo appears, starting off as its usual red before being spray pained bright pink.
Gwenpool is shown walking on the red carpet conversing with her fans until Deadpool confronts her yelling that she stole his life! He demands she give it back but Gwenpool tells him not a chance, she’s here to stay, and encourages him to just disappear like all bad characters do. Deadpool goes into an alley where he starts beating up a trash can screaming profanities until someone yells for him to keep it down. As Deadpool turns around he sees it's a woman dressed exactly like him. They both try to say and do things the other can’t predict but end up accidentally pantomiming each other as they say and do the same things.
Lady Deadpool narrates how she’s from Earth, just not his, as it shows her on a world where all the superheroes are genderbent. She explains that the snap tore a hole in his universe, and opened up a wormhole into hers. Lady Deadpool and Deadpool are then shown sitting in a diner where he asks her how many more are there. He then gets introduced to Golden Age Deadpool, who talks like a stereotypical 1940s newscaster, Kidpool, who Deadpool says is adorable until Kidpool insists he “kiss his ass”, and finally Dogpool, who pees on the floor.
It cuts to Gwenpool navigating the Gutter Space while Deadpool clarifies Gwenpool is from another universe too, one where he’s a fictional character, which means while she’s here she can control the narrative. Deadpool complains how shit’s getting way too complicated for him but Lady Deadpool quips “Bitch please, you’ve been to space.”

The Fantastic Four Trailer
The trailer starts inside of a filthy cave underground where Mole Man is slowly building a Quantum Tunnel out of garbage and scrap metal. Talking to himself about how this is going to work, it has to work! It has to! He then puts a dirty vile of Pym Particles into the Quantum Tunnel and turns it on, smiling when he sees the machine successfully start to power up.
The MARVEL STUDIOS logo appears, except that the background is blue this time instead of its usual red as 1960s music begins playing.
Reed Richards narrates how ever since he was a little boy he’s always wanted to explore other worlds as it shows him as an awkward, nerdy, adult bumbling his way into the Triskelion. Reed continues to narrate how the Soviets might’ve gotten to space first, but he can take them somewhere else.
It cuts to him in the middle of board room meeting where Peggy Carter confirms he's talking the "Microverse" that he’d need to shrink smaller than an atom to get there. Reed excitedly responds that he knows how. Narrating once again Reed explains how he wants to put together team, he’ll be the Physicist, showing clips of Reed drawing out calculations on a chalk board. His wife Sue will be the Biologist, showing her studying bacteria with a stethoscope before kissing Reed. His best friend Ben will be the engineer as it shows him building a Quantum Tunnel with a much younger Mole Man. Then there’s Johnny, Sue’s brother, the intern, who’s shown doing drugs at a Hippie festival.
The four of them all enter the Quantum Tunnel and after giving the countdown are shrunken into the Microverse. There, they’re all amazed by the otherworldly visuals until in a series of jump cuts they each get exposed to waves of particles that incapacitate and disfigure them.
The jump cuts finally stop as it shows the Four get pulled out of the Microverse into Mole Man’s cave instead of S.H.I.E.L.D. all of them horrified by their new abilities. Reed’s body is stretched and contorted unnaturally, Sue is partially invisible, Johnny is on fire, and Ben has transformed into a rock monster.
The Four of them are then shown wandering the streets of New York confused while Mole Man narrates how they’ve been in the Microverse for the last sixty years, with Reed claiming that to them it felt six hours.
FOUR HEROES
It shows Sue create a force field to block bullets being shot at her, Human Torch yelling “Flame On!” before flying off at supersonic speeds, Mole Man is seen screaming at Ben, telling him this experiment turned them both into freaks.
OUT OF TIME
Reed promises he can fix this and Sue asks why they would want to leave, the food is great, the people are nice, and they’re not even the only ones from a different time period.
Ben walks through Yancy Street undercover in a trench coat and fedora, the Four are all standing together in their iconic blue uniforms in the Microverse once again, and finally a large green moloid is seen bursting through the streets of New York City until Ben shouts "It’s Clobering Time!" and the Four fight it mimicking the cover panel of the first comic.
THE FANTASTIC FOUR
The Human Torch is gleefully flying through the New York skyline until he gets stuck in what appears to be an oversized web. Spider-Man then dangles down behind him upside down and quips that he must be new around here.
