Fortnite’s current season is ending, and fans are gearing up for Chapter 5 Season 4. Despite a new season, the theme of superheroes continues in the game, with Doctor Doom taking over the island this time. Nevertheless, we will see many superheroes throughout the season, including the Fantastic Four.

Though we haven’t had an official confirmation regarding the Fantastic Four featuring in the game, several images have suggested that it will happen. Furthermore, given that Doctor Doom is usually the main antagonist going against the group, we will likely see them in the game in some form.

The recent teaser for the upcoming season features Doctor Doom arriving on Fortnite Island, opening Pandora’s Box, and waging an all-out war. As one would expect, we also see a bunch of superheroes coming to fight Doctor Doom and his army, including War Machine and Gwenpool.

Although we didn’t see any sign of the Fantastic Four in the teaser, there is a high possibility that they will come to the game soon. As posted by Twitter user @DiscussingFilm, we can see a bunker that is marked by the “4” symbol, insinuating that we will get Fantastic Four content.

Since we didn’t see any Fantastic Four members during the teaser, they likely won’t come out immediately at the start but mid-season instead. It will be interesting to see if the members will join the game as full characters or if we’ll just get their skins, like the Captain America one featured in the teaser.

Much like this season, there are a bunch of rewards geared toward unlocking superhero cosmetics. These include Gwenpool, Black Panther (Shuri), War Machine, Peelverine, Emma Frost, Captain Jonesy, and Mysterio.

The Upcoming Fantastic Four: First Steps Leads to Interesting Galactus Revelation

While the focus is on the superheroes of the next season, a new detail has surfaced regarding Galactus, who we saw in Chapter 2, Season 3. According to the details, there is only one Galactus throughout the multiverse.

Going by this revelation, the Galactus we saw in the game is the same one who will appear in the upcoming Fantastic Four movie. Of course, it’s unlikely that we will see an official confirmation from Epic Games since there doesn’t seem to be any reason why Galactus will return to the game soon.

We will likely see Fantastic Four members and Galactus returning to the game when the movie drops next year. The cosmic entity is poised to be the movie’s main antagonist and kickstart a new series in the MCU.
