5 Marvel Rival characters we need to see in Fortnite subsequent

Whereas a Fortnite Marvel Rivals crossover is anticipated to begin round February 14, this isn’t the primary collaboration between the 2 juggernauts — and it’s actually not the final.

Luna Snow and Magik are making their debut within the subsequent Fortnite Marvel Rivals crossover, in response to in style Fortnite leaker HYPEX. Given earlier Marvel crossovers into the Fortnite universe, gamers might quickly get pleasure from new Marvel skins or different cosmetics. However at any time when the collaboration is due, one factor is certain: We would like extra iconic heroes and villains to hitch the fray.

There’s a literal treasure trove of untapped Marvel characters which are nonetheless to see the sunshine of day within the Marvel Rivals universe. The Incredible 4 was a superb begin at bringing in additional traditional characters, and the lineup of nice heroes and villains would go well with Fortnite splendidly.

As a lot as we Marvel Rivals gamers could hate taking part in in opposition to her, Squirrel Woman is undeniably enjoyable to manage. Her complete Marvel Rivals package is a little bit absurd, and that’s what would make her an ideal addition to any Marvel video games crossover in Fortnite. I can think about that any match along with her and Nightcrawler on the sphere would rapidly devolve into the sort of chaos that’s anticipated of a Fortnite: Battle Royale sport. 

Pay attention, I’m nothing if not an advocate for chaos, and Jeff is a rule, not an exception in that realm. Jeff looks like a kind of characters Fortnite gamers would instantly perceive. He’s immediately memeable, which already places him in the identical house as a few of Fortnite’s hottest skins. However Jeff additionally brings one thing to the sport that Fortnite leans into greater than most shooters: playful disruption. His burrowing, popping-up-from-nowhere power suits the sport’s unpredictable move, encouraging shock encounters reasonably than straight-up gunfights. He’s in the identical circle as Squirrel Woman, and so they each have to be added for as many shenanigans as doable.

Punisher followers aren’t identified for staying quiet, and so they’ve actually made their opinions identified about including him to Fortnite. He has a stable package in Marvel Rivals and is annoyingly good at what he does with the suitable participant behind his Gatling gun. He’d be an ideal addition to mellow out the brightly colored mayhem that Fortnite is understood for, and there’s nothing improper with bringing a moody villain onto the scene often. 

Cloak & Dagger could also be an odd selection, however work with me right here. This couple could be a improbable selection for gamers who love Fortnite’s utility-based gameplay, giving them the possibility to get out of the road of fireside and help their teammates with their abilities. They positively wouldn’t be a powerhouse-style addition to Fortnite, extra of a help play, however for gamers competing in a staff, they might completely flip the tide and get issues again on observe. 

Loki and Thor have already made an look in Fortnite, however they aren’t the one members of their household to be added to the sport. Hela joined the sport in 2024, a couple of years after her brothers made their separate debuts. However why cease there? Angela was launched to Marvel Rivals’ roster throughout Season 4: Coronary heart of the Dragon, and he or she’d make a fully boss addition to the Fortnite line-up, too. She’s a weapon-wielding powerhouse, and her design would give the Fortnite staff a lot to play with for added cosmetics.

The 2024/2025 Fortnite Marvel Rivals crossover left quite a bit to be desired, particularly because it didn’t embody a single hero pores and skin or beauty merchandise past the glider. Whereas the 2026 crossover will lastly introduce Fortnite-specific Marvel Rivals heroes, each franchises have missed many alternatives to characteristic fan-favourites. 

Nightcrawler, specifically, has been requested a number of instances by Marvel Rivals followers, with some even creating their very own character ideas and ability kits for him on Reddit. Regardless of this, our “fuzzy dude” nonetheless doesn’t have a spot in Marvel Rivals or in any Marvel video games crossover occasion. 

With Marvel Rivals characters coming to Fortnite finally, we will solely hope that different underdog characters received’t be forgotten.
