New Superman skin is coming to Fortnite soon!
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.

Kylie Jenner flaunts suitcase packed with Knicks merchandise for courtside date night with Timothée Chalamet
Kylie Jenner has taken her courtside style to a new level, revealing a Knicks-themed suitcase packed with New York Knicks merchandise and high-end fashion ahead of her latest date night with Timothée Chalamet. Among the items shown on her Instagram Stories was a rare, cobalt blue Hermès Birkin Kelly 25 handbag that she carried to the game with Chalamet, as well as a pair of pointed white mules and several Knicks graphic tees. Photo: Instagram Most notably, Jenner included lingerie in the team's colours, adding a playful nod to her fashion commitment and fuelling further interest in her relationship with the Oscar-nominated actor. Jenner and Chalamet, who have made multiple public appearances together at NBA games, continue to draw attention for their coordinated style and chemistry. Despite flying to Indiana for the playoff game, the pair weren't able to bring luck to the team, with the Knicks losing to the Pacers, who secured their first NBA Finals spot in 25 years. Still, they appeared in good spirits, sharing affectionate moments throughout the night. Chalamet, wearing a custom leather outfit by NAHMIAS, complemented Jenner's polished aesthetic, making the duo one of the most watched celebrity couples on and off the court.

James Gunn addresses Superman and Fantastic Four fan rivalry ahead of July box office showdown
As excitement builds for two major superhero films hitting theaters this July—DC's Superman and Marvel's Fantastic Four—DC Studios co-head James Gunn has stepped in to ease rising tensions among fans. On Threads, Gunn responded to a fan question about Marvel's Fantastic Four by emphasizing unity rather than rivalry. 'They come out two weeks after us – there's room for us both! I love my friends at Marvel,' Gunn wrote. 'I'd focus on all the positivity around the films instead of getting sucked up in online fan wars.' The release timing has sparked comparisons, with Superman set to premiere on July 11 and Fantastic Four following on July 25. Gunn's remarks aim to refocus attention on the films themselves rather than encourage franchise competition. Though now a key figure at DC, Gunn has deep ties to Marvel. He wrote and directed the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy, produced Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, and contributed to several Marvel projects over the past decade. His support for Marvel comes from long-standing relationships with the studio and its creators. Adding to the competitive summer box office, Jurassic World Rebirth will debut earlier on July 2. The film features Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali and is directed by Gareth Edwards. Gunn's Superman stars David Corenswet as Clark Kent, with Rachel Brosnahan and Nicholas Hoult also leading the cast. Marvel's Fantastic Four: First Steps, directed by Matt Shakman, stars Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach. While online chatter may fuel a Marvel vs. DC narrative, Gunn encourages fans to embrace the blockbuster season for what it is—a celebration of superheroes on all fronts.
