This doesn’t come as a surprise with “Deadpool & Wolverine” being the big Marvel summer blockbuster and Disney announcing a special Fortnite collaboration during their annual D23 ultimate fan event on Aug. 10.
However, superheroes — and villains — won’t be the only ones in the mix. Expect to see characters from Star Wars, Pixar and anything else the House of Mouse has in their catalogue.
