Rumors suggest Fortnite's next major collaboration will be with the highly anticipated new Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) film Deadpool & Wolverine. This rumor stems from the fact that the two stars of the upcoming film, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, have been spotted visiting certain Fortnite content creators, potentially signaling a Deadpool & Wolverine crossover will hit the massively popular Battle Royale game this summer.
While anchored by impressive movement mechanics and a wide variety of weapons and items, a big part of Fortnite's success comes from how willing Epic Games is to collaborate with other worldwide brands and franchises. Since its original release in 2017, fans have been able to enjoy many crossovers in Fortnite, ranging from unique skins based on characters from the Star Wars universe to full-on collaborations with popular animes. Just like in the real world, Marvel is a big brand in Fortnite, with players having access to several iconic heroes and villains, like Captain America, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Black Widow, and Thanos, just to name a few. However, as Marvel prepares to release its highly anticipated third Deadpool film, it's possible the company is looking to collaborate once again with Epic Games.
Shiina, a popular source for Fortnite news and leaks, recently discussed the possibility of a Deadpool & WolverineFortnite collaboration. This wouldn't be the first time the characters of both Deadpool and Wolverine have appeared in the game, with Epic Games recently releasing a new Weapon X skin in Fortnite's item shop.
Deadpool & Wolverine Crossover Rumored For Fortnite
Deadpool & Wolverine acts as the third installment in Marvel's Deadpool franchise. In this highly anticipated new film, Deadpool and Wolverine team up to solve a problem with the Multiverse. While specific plot details remain top secret, it's assumed Deadpool & Wolverine will be a landmark moment for the MCU as a whole, with dozens of Marvel characters rumored to make cameo appearances, specifically the X-Men.
Fortnite already has a large selection of X-Men characters, including Cable, Psylocke, and Gambit, with the game's current Chapter 5 Season 3: Wrecked update prominently featuring Magneto as an NPC and an unlockable skin. This legendary Marvel character recently became available to unlock for those with the battle pass, but players have to embark on several quests if they wish to add Magneto to their Fortnite locker. Centered around a massive wasteland, Chapter 5 Season 3: Wrecked places major emphasis on vehicle traversal and combat. Alongside vehicles, several powerful items have also been added to Fortnite, such as Magneto Power and Nitro Fists.
