A prominent leaker has teased that Fortnite could be crossing over with the Avatar movie franchise in the near future. The first film in the blockbuster franchise was directed by James Cameron and debuted in 2009. Fans had to wait for quite a while before the sequel, Avatar: The Way of Water, was finally released in 2022. Given the intense popularity of the movies and the iconic design of their characters, a collaboration with Fortnite seems like a natural fit.
Collaborations are nothing new for Fortnite. The battle royale is currently in the middle of a shorter season, Chapter 2 Remix, which has featured crossovers with Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Ice Spice, and the late artist Juice WRLD. These collaborations are coming hot off the heels of Fortnite‘s second full-blown Marvel season. While famous comic book characters took center-stage during the previous season, fans were also treated to crossovers with Saw, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Peter Pan, Maleficent, and more. While some of these collaborations could be attributed to the partnership between Epic Games and Disney, many are just a testament to Fortnite‘s ability to continually bring pillars of pop culture into the game.
