With Chapter 2, Season 4 has introduced a Marvel Comics-themed storyline for the game, with several iconic Marvel heroes and villains coming to the game in and a fight against Galactus. While Epic has so far not unveiled an Ant-Man skin, these leaks indicate one may be on the horizon. The character appeared in two recent movies, 2015’s “Ant-Man,” and its 2018 sequel “Ant-Man and the Wasp”, with a third installment planned for 2022. The movies are based on the story of the current Ant-Man, Scott Lang.
If Ant-Man does come to Fortnite, it would be interesting to see if his suit is the one from the comics or the considerably different movie version, as well as whether his partner The Wasp makes an appearance.
