Fortnite fans have been buzzing with excitement following the latest tease from Epic Games—a Deadpool-themed skin for the popular in-game character Fishstick. The teaser, which appears to merge Fishstick with the iconic Deadpool suit, was unveiled in a sketchy, hand-drawn style, adding to the intrigue surrounding this potential new addition.

The Tease: Fishstick Meets Deadpool

The first glimpse of this Deadpool-inspired Fishstick skin came through a brief video shared on Fortnite’s official Twitter account on August 11. The clip shows a projection of a rough, color drawing of Fishstick donning a Deadpool bodysuit. Below the projection, a person dressed as Deadpool in a movie-accurate costume is seen reacting with surprise as he walks across a stage. This footage was captured during the Disney Horizons Live presentation at D23, Disney’s official fan event that takes place every two years in Anaheim, California.

Though the teaser doesn’t confirm the skin’s arrival in Fortnite, Deadpool’s voice can be heard in the background saying, “No spoilers. I want to see it in the game. Is he awesome-looking?” This playful hint has left many fans speculating that “Fishpool,” as it’s being dubbed, could soon be making its way into the game.

Expanding Marvel Crossovers in Fortnite

This isn’t the first time Fortnite has blended its original characters with Marvel superheroes. Just recently, Fortnite introduced the Peelverine Plush Back Bling, which combines the quirky character Peely with Wolverine. This crossover item was unveiled at the same D23 event and is available for free to players who tuned into the livestream or catch its replay before August 16. After that date, the item will be listed in Fortnite’s in-game shop.

The addition of “Fishpool” would complement the ongoing influx of Marvel-themed content. In late July, Fortnite rolled out Deadpool and Wolverine skins, emotes, weapons, and accessories to coincide with the release of the Deadpool & Wolverine movie, which has been a massive box office success, grossing over $1 billion worldwide as of August 10.

What’s Next: Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4

The upcoming Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 is set to launch on August 16, and it promises to be heavily Marvel-themed, with Dr. Doom expected to play a significant role as the primary antagonist. Alongside him, players can look forward to new X-Men skins featuring characters like Cyclops, Jubilee, and Colossus.

With all these updates, it’s clear that Fortnite is gearing up for a season packed with superhero action. The potential addition of a Deadpool-themed Fishstick skin would only add to the excitement, offering players yet another creative crossover to enjoy.

Final Thoughts

Fortnite’s blend of pop culture and original content continues to captivate its global audience. As the game prepares to launch its Marvel-themed season, players can expect even more innovative and unexpected collaborations. Whether or not “Fishpool” becomes an official skin, the anticipation surrounding these teasers keeps the Fortnite community engaged and eager for what’s next.
