Fortnite fans, get ready to fly — quite literally. The Man of Steel is making a much-anticipated return to Epic Games’ hit battle royale, and it looks like it’s timed perfectly with the upcoming Superman movie release.
According to reliable leakers ShiinaBR and FNBRintel, a brand-new Superman skin is in the works and expected to drop around the film’s theatrical debut on July 11th.
It’s been some time since Epic Games last introduced Superman-themed content in Fortnite.
Back in 2021, players could suit up in Clark Kent’s classic red-and-blue outfit, or even don the slick black “shadow” design.
This time, though, the skin is expected to take cues from James Gunn’s new DC Universe, offering a fresh visual inspired by the cinematic reboot.
Alongside the new look, leakers are also hinting at a powerful mythic ability that will let players “turn into Superman.”
What exactly that means remains unclear, but speculation suggests it could grant players temporary invincibility or some other god-tier perk.
While Gunn hasn’t revealed specific details, he previously teased that “fans could expect to see designs based on the DCU in games like Fortnite.”
Superman, being the first movie in the revamped universe, seems like a natural frontrunner. The subtle updates to Clark Kent’s suit in the film should offer just enough difference to justify the new skin for even the most seasoned collectors.
Earlier this year, ShiinaBR explained why Fortnite had seen fewer DC skins recently.
The answer? MultiVersus.
Warner Bros. had been focusing heavily on that game, putting collaborations like Fortnite on the back burner.
But with WB ending support for MultiVersus, the studio is now shifting focus — or as the leaker put it, a plan was initiated to “double down” on collaborations with live-service games like Fortnite.
The change in strategy could be big news for DC fans. Gunn’s new Superman film will also introduce characters like Guy Gardner, Hawkgirl, and Mr. Terrific, none of whom have ever appeared in Fortnite.
If the film performs well at the box office, it might open the door to skins for these lesser-known heroes as well. There may never be a better opportunity.
However, Epic Games hasn’t made any official announcement yet, and with more than two months until the movie hits theaters, fans will have to wait a little longer for confirmation.
In the meantime, Marvel fans can also get hyped: Fantastic Four: First Steps is dropping just two weeks after Superman, and Epic usually rolls out Marvel skins alongside Disney’s film releases.
So whether you’re Team DC or Team Marvel, July is shaping up to be an epic month in Fortnite.
