Fortnite fans are quite excited regarding even more possible upcoming Marvel collaborations coming in Chapter 5 Season 3. Fans have noticed its mention in the copyright credits for the third season’s trailer and have since been guessing exactly what might be coming next.
Hypex, a reliable leaker, has hinted that the upcoming season might feature Marvel characters, leading to a mini-event in Season 4. The third season’s trailer revealed that Fallout was going to be the next big collaboration, but maybe Epic Games has even more things planned.
Fortnite Rumors Tease New Collaboration
The newest season might bring more Marvel collabs, potentially culminating in a Season 4 mini event featuring several Marvel characters. Hypex mentioned that the third season’s trailer could showcase some of these collaborations, with fans speculating about characters like Deadpool and Wolverine, since that is the next big Marvel movie coming out soon.

Even though they’ve been in the game before, it would make sense to update their skins in line with the new movie set to release in July. Hypex has a strong track record with leaks, having previously revealed The Mandalorian skin early and the Chapter 3 map. Fans are also keeping an eye out for other potential updates, like an upcoming live event to mark the end of the fifth chapter’s second season.

Besides being focused on the Bethesda franchise, the 2024 roadmap seems to include even more collaborations, supporting Hypex’s claims. Rumors point to a Doctor Doom and Fantastic Four crossover, which makes sense given Doctor Doom’s past appearance in the game, as well as the upcoming highly anticipated Fantastic Four movie.
Fans have also been speculating as to what other characters could be part of the collab, and names like Sandman, The X-Men ‘97 roster, or others from upcoming MCU movies and TV shows are frequently mentioned. If these leaks are accurate, players of the game and fans of the franchise both have a lot to look forward to.
Disney and Epic Games’ Partnership
In February of this year, Disney and Epic Games announced a collaboration to create a new gaming and entertainment universe. This partnership will see Disney investing $1.5 billion in Epic Games and using Unreal Engine to produce content across Disney’s portfolio, namely video games.
This new universe will offer players opportunities to engage with characters and stories from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and more. Think of Disney+, but in a gaming setting. Past gaming collaborations have also been highly successful between Epic and Disney. Unreal Engine is a significant part of this collaboration, which will help Epic Games create even more varied and diverse content for Disney.
Disney’s refocus on the gaming world is substantial, given how profitable the highest-selling games of the year usually are. Some of these include upcoming games such as Indiana Jones and The Great Circle, Star Wars Outlaws, the upcoming Wolverine and Blade games, as well as two untitled games from EA that focus on Iron Man and Black Panther, respectively.
Which characters do you think will be included in the potential Marvel Crossover? Let us know in the comments below.
