10 Years Later, Fan Discovers He’s Marvel Canon But For the Worst Movie (And He Wants Another Chance)

by

Imagine finding out you were in a Marvel movie ten years after it came out – a movie many fans consider to be one of the absolute worst! That’s exactly what happened to one fan, and his story is now spreading all over the internet!

A Reddit user named “Fantastic Jerome” shared an amazing discovery: he’s officially part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe! He explained that he briefly appeared in the 2015 *Fantastic Four* movie as a security guard at the Baxter Foundation. In a quick scene, Reed Richards acknowledges him by name – Richards says, “He’s with me,” then looks back and says, “Thanks, Panno,” to which the user replies, “No problem, Mr. Richards.”

It didn’t take long for people online to confirm the story and identify “Panno” during his quick moment of fame. You can see it for yourself below!

Marvel Fans Demand ‘Justice For Panno’

So, after sharing his incredible story, “FantasticJerome” took things a step further and asked the Marvel community for advice on how to reach out. He doesn’t want to cause a fuss, just express his gratitude and subtly inquire if there’s any chance his character, Panno, could make a cameo. He’s not dreaming of a leading role, honestly – his expectations are really grounded in his past work. He’d be thrilled just to see Panno back on screen briefly, maybe checking IDs or delivering a quick line, or even just appearing in a panel of the new *Fantastic Four* comic book. It’s a really sweet and realistic hope.

Despite the often negative atmosphere online, the Marvel Reddit community has shown a lot of unexpected support for a minor character named Panno. Fans are enthusiastically requesting merchandise like action figures and even a valuable Funko Pop, with one user, u/ChochMcKenzie, starting a campaign for a Marvel Legends figure with the cry, “Justice for Panno!” Many also want to see Panno appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, perhaps with a quick cameo in a future *Avengers* movie or even a recurring role as a desk clerk in a *Fantastic Four* sequel after *Avengers: Secret Wars*. One creative fan even made concept art showing Doctor Doom encountering Panno while attacking the Baxter Building!

Okay, so fans are really going wild with theories about this Panno guy! Some are suggesting he could actually *be* Axel Asher, better known as “Access.” Now, Access is a big deal in the comics – he’s basically the guy responsible for keeping the Marvel and DC universes from colliding. Can you imagine? Going from a relatively unknown character in a flop of a Marvel movie to the lynchpin of a potential MCU vs. DCU crossover? It would be absolutely insane, and honestly, a storyline I’d be first in line to see!

This Reddit post is currently getting a lot of attention, and some people are hoping it might get noticed by public relations firms, influencers, or even Marvel Studios themselves. Regardless, it’s clear that the Marvel Cinematic Universe has gained a new popular supporting character.

I just saw Panno in *Fantastic Four* (2015) and you can watch it right now on Disney+!
