Pepper Potts receives Tony Stark’s message in heartbreaking Endgame fan art

This fanart of Pepper Potts getting Iron Man’s message from space will make you sad and also remind you of all those Avengers: Endgame trailer feels.

Marvel fans are all still reeling from that emotional and heart-wrenching Avengers: Endgame trailer. It’s still a lot to process, and we understand if you are still in your feelings. But, one of the great things about sad fandom feels is how it inspires people to create. Fans often take to fan art or fan fiction to deal with the sad, traumatic things that happen to their favorite characters.

Safe to say, the Avengers: Endgame trailer is hauntingly perfect inspiration for some sad fan work, and fans have already begun working on poignant art to deal with what they saw in the trailer. From Steve Rogers crying to Thor looking dejected to Natasha Romanoff finding Hawkeye again, there were a lot of emotional moments to deal with.

One of the most tragic parts of the trailer was seeing Tony Stark drifting alone in space. He records a message for Pepper Potts about how he has run out of food and water and will soon run out of oxygen. This message is what he thinks will be his last message to her (and he likely doesn’t think she would ever hear it). It’s a punch to the gut to see Iron Man like this and to wonder how he will make it out of the predicament.

One fan artist has created a work that shows Pepper receiving the message from Tony, and it just breaks our Marvel loving hearts. The fan art shows the message as a kind of hologram, with Pepper seeing the pain and loneliness that Tony is going through when he recorded it.

Of course, many fans assume this footage must take place near the start of the movie. Tony has to be rescued as we’ve seen evidence of him working again with his fellow Avengers. How he is rescued though remains a mystery. Could Captain Marvel safe him, could he get out of this space pickle himself, or could Pepper Potts find a way to rescue her man?

We think Tony deserves to get some sort of a happy ending. Until we see Endgame in theaters, we’ll have to cope with our stressed out feelings in whatever way we can — even if it means sad fan art.
