Fantastic Four: First Steps is an upcoming movie set to be released in 2025. While we will get to see a bunch of new heroes in the MCU, fans are also excited about Galactus, who was in Fortnite a few years ago. The big cosmic entity is apparently the main antagonist of the upcoming movie.
Although we see variants of most Marvel characters scattered throughout the multiverse, new information has surfaced insinuating that there is only one Galactus in the entire universe, meaning even the game’s Galactus will be no different from the one in the MCU.
It Doesn’t Matter if It’s MCU or Fortnite; Galactus is One of a Kind
Back in Chapter 2 Season 3, we saw the addition of Galactus to Fortnite. He was the primary antagonist that season but was eventually defeated by heroes who were sent to Reality Zero by Thor. Furthermore, his impact was high on the game even after being beaten, as seen in Chapter 3 Season 2, at the time of Zero War.
What’s interesting is that in a recent interview with The Cosmic Circus, it was revealed that unlike other characters in MCU, who might have different versions of themselves in different multiverse, there is only one of him throughout.
Fortnite Galactus = MCU Galactus

Marvel confirmed that the Fortnite Event is Canon to the MCU Multiverse, couples with what was announced a few days ago about, “Galactus being “one of a kind with no variants”. COULD IT BE TRUE⁉️#MCU #FantasticFour #Galactus #DrDoom #Fortnite pic.twitter.com/U6pc7rRyRv
Since the movie is on the horizon and features Galactus as the antagonist, it’s the same one as seen in the game. Of course, this doesn’t make any difference in the grand scheme, but it is still a cool trivia.
‘THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS’ will reportedly reveal that Galactus is one of a kind in the entire Multiverse, with no variants.

Similar to America Chavez, who also has no variants in the Multiverse.

He is not the only character in the MCU with a singular version. American Chavez is another character who has only one variant throughout the MCU universe. Regardless, there is a possibility we might see the big cosmic entity make a return to the game next year when the movie drops.
A Superhero Mess in Fortnite
Throughout the game’s history, we have seen several superheroes and villain make their presence feel in Epic Games‘ Fortnite. However, only a few might have had as significant an impact as Magneto. In particular, his gloves, also known as the Magneto Power, have been wreaking havoc on the battlefield.
Magneto Power is a busted item that excels at offense and defense. It can deal 95 damage to players and 415 damage to vehicles. Additionally, it has the potential to block incoming damage with its 400 HP shield.
Many players have been frustrated with its power level in the game, especially with the little counterplay available. It has become a menace and a necessary item you need to use in order to progress. However, the item will likely go away with the season ending in a few days.
Do you think the Galactus in the game is the same as in the MCU? What are your thoughts on the Magneto Power item in the game? Let us know in the comments below.
