Superman 2025 movie sparks new Fortnite crossover: Skins, powers and more expected
Fortnite players are gearing up for another superhero landing, this time featuring the Man of Steel himself.

Skin inspired by James Gunn's Superman film
Popular Fortnite leakers @ShiinaBR and @FNBRintel revealed on May 3 that Epic Games is planning to release a new Superman skin inspired directly by the upcoming DCU film. Unlike the 2021 version, which featured classic and black suit variants, this new skin will reflect Clark Kent's updated costume from the James Gunn-directed movie - complete with modern textures and fresh design elements.
The skin is expected to arrive just before or alongside the film's release on July 11, 2025, potentially between July 6 and July 10, aligning with Fortnite's past movie crossover timelines.
Mythic Superman ability leaked
Beyond the cosmetics, the real game-changer could be the new Superman Mythic Ability, rumored to temporarily transform players into the superhero himself. Details are still under wraps, but speculation suggests the ability may unlock powers such as flight, superhuman strength, or even heat vision.
If true, this could dramatically impact gameplay - especially in casual modes. While Epic may restrict it in competitive tournaments, the power-packed Mythic could become a fan-favorite in standard Battle Royale lobbies.
Will more DC heroes join the roster?
The new Superman movie introduces several other iconic DC heroes including Guy Gardner, Hawkgirl, and Mr. Terrific - all making their first appearance in the rebooted cinematic universe. As of now, no skins for these characters have been confirmed, but Fortnite has a history of expanding collaborations over time.
If the movie performs well, Epic may bring these characters into the game through future bundles or limited-time events.

The timing of this collaboration highlights a strategic push by Warner Bros. Discovery to expand DC's footprint in live-service games. Following the end of support for MultiVersus, Fortnite appears to be a key platform for new DC content rollouts.
For Fortnite, it's a smart play - the Superman skin is likely to attract both superhero fans and long-time players, driving up user engagement and shop sales.
As fans await official confirmation, one thing's clear - Superman's return to Fortnite could be one of the most powerful crossovers yet.

"Nobody wants it": Fans Freak Out Over Latest Fortnite Festival Headliner Rumor
Image via: Epic Games With this season of Fortnite Festival ending soon on June 17, anticipation is high for what's to come next. A recent leak that electronic music producer Deadmau5 would headline the upcoming season has set off a remarkable negative reaction from the community. Deadmau5 Rumored as Headliner — But Not Everyone's On Board The leak, posted today by reputable Fortnite leakers alleges that Deadmau5 will be introducing brand-new cosmetics to the Festival mode, including a custom keytar and drum set. While that might seem like a fun one-off, high-octane addition to some, safety advocates are sounding the alarm. One user commented, 'Nobody wants it,' a comment that represented many of the comments on multiple threads. Even with Deadmau5's international fame and massive live performance presence, which has drawn as many comparisons to new headliners Marshmello and old headliner Daft Punk, the announcement just hasn't been resonating with much of Fortnite's player community. One of the largest reasons for the lukewarm reception appears to be based on what the community expected from T-Pain. After his ultra-publicized debut in a silly Fortnite 'docuseries' back in Chapter 6 Season 2, fans have been clamoring for a sequel ever since. It was what a lot of people imagined would be his stage for the next Festival. What's Next for the Fortnite Festival? Though Epic Games has yet to formally announce Deadmau5's addition, everything certainly suggests a June 18 debut for the new Festival season, the day after the current one ends. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo If this rumor turns out to be correct, players can look forward to receiving a new Festival Pass, themed cosmetics, and Jam Tracks from the helmeted DJ himself.

Insiders say it would help inherit its trailblazing history of unprecedented multi-genre virtual concerts in public video gaming spaces. With past seasons bringing major artists such as Ariana Grande, Travis Scott, and Eminem, the standard has already been established and fans are surely hoping for another amazing chapter. Until then, one thing is for sure, Epic Games has one hell of a tough crowd to win over this time around.
