Is a Fortnite X Deadpool collab coming soon?

Unlike the McRib being available year-round, could the dream of a Fortnite X Deadpool collab be coming true?

Fans have long been asking to see Deadpool items within the game. Marvel regularly features as a collaborator in Fortnite, with recent crossovers including Wastelander Magneto in Chapter 5 Season 3. Deadpool, however, has remained elusive despite his status as an overwhelming fan favorite.

With the Deadpool & Wolverine film coming out in theatres on July 26, will Deadpool and his partner in crime also be making a timely appearance in Fortnite?

Are Fortnite fans finally getting a Deadpool crossover?

Deadpool stars have been spotted with known Fortnite content creators, leading many to speculate that a collab is coming.

Known Fortnite leaker and Epic Games partner ShiinaBR revealed two images on X hinting at a collab. First is art of Deadpool reading a Fortnite magazine. Second is a picture of Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds in a hotel room with a Fortnite content creator.

Why else could such big stars be taking time out of their busy press tour if not to hint at a new Fortnite X Deadpool collab? We doubt it’s to discuss their favorite drop spots.

Past Deadpool and Wolverine collabs

There have been Wolverine and Deadpool skins and items before, but many want updated content for a prospective Fortnite X Deadpool event.

Deadpool last dropped in April 2020 as part of a battle pass, where players could get skins with and without the mask and his katanas. His gear bundle last featured almost five months ago with two emotes, a backbling, and a Dragacorn glider.

Meanwhile, Wolverine has had both a Earth-616 and Zero Day skin in Fortnite. The former is part of a full Wolverine set released in August 2020 and includes adamantium claws and a trophy. Zero Day Wolverine comes from August 2022. His skin is tied in with Spider-Man Zero, Iron Man Zero, and a plethora of other goodies.

Given the upcoming release date of Deadpool & Wolverine, film-themed skins and weapons would probably make fans happy across the board. The only thing better than a chimichanga and a movie on July 26th would be confirmation of a Fortnite X Deadpool collab.
