Fortnite‘s next major Marvel collaboration could be imminent, as a notable leaker has revealed that Marvel’s Dr. Strange could be making his way to the popular battle royale title in Season 2, ahead of its next planned movie sequel. Fortnite has been heavily defined by its crossovers, with some of its notable partnerships including Star Wars, DC’s Batman, Resident Evil, and an abundance of Marvel characters and events. Epic Games recently revealed one of its biggest crossovers to date, bringing everyone’s favorite web-head Spider-Man to Fortnite along with his web-shooters that allow players to easily traverse the map with a swinging ability.
Fortnite‘s Chapter 3 was released with new additions, mechanics, and a brand-new map with distinctive POIs that can be easily used to utilize many of its newest features and gain XP. Similar to previous seasons, the chapter’s first season includes a collection of new content including characters, cosmetics, and new game mechanics such as sliding, swinging, and a tent system, which can now be used to regenerate health, rest, and store items that can be collected at the start of each game. Additionally, many more Marvel characters have made appearances in the free-to-play battle royale’s latest season, with the comic-accurate Green Goblin hovering into Fortnite with his villain’s numerous cosmetics and both Hawkeye‘s Clint and Kate making an appearance.
The Fortnite-dedicated leaker and well-known news account, Shiina has once again teased the future of Fortnite with a brand-new leak regarding Chapter 3 Season 2. Posted on Twitter, Shiina claims that Fortnite‘s next major Marvel collaboration will be none other than Marvel’s Dr. Strange with sources mentioning Dr. Strange and a popular YouTuber using the word “Strange” very often. Although the leak has yet to be officially confirmed by Epic Games, the leaker is a long-time reputable source and has been previously seen sharing datamined cosmetics and revealing announcements prior to release.
It appears that Dr. Strange isn’t the only Marvel character secretly making their way to Fortnite in the next season. According to another recent leak by Shiina, revealed that Mary Jane Watson, the love interest of Peter Parker, will be coming to Fortnite as a new character skin. If correct, this will mark the second official Mary Jane skin making it to Fortnite, as the Zendaya version of the character from Spider-Man: No Way Home made an appearance to promote the then-upcoming film in December.
The fact that the leaker has mentioned Dr. Strange skin has been being talked for weeks could mean that the crossover is imminent. It would also line up with past crossover promotions as Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is set to release soon. Epic Games has yet to confirm if the collaboration rumor is true, but fans will be anxiously awaiting to see if the Sorcerer Supreme comes through a portal to Fortnite.
Fortnite is playable across all platforms.
