Fortnite
As Fortnite fans will know, Season 5 is certainly the one with the most collaborations. In recent months we have seen plenty of them, we have gone from the classics with the Marvel and DC superheroes to then move on to those of the teams of the major European leagues, including Serie A. A recent leak that is recently becoming popular on the web would see a popular enemy of the universe created by Stan Lee: we are obviously talking about Thanos.To find this indiscretion would be the well-known dataminer Mang0e who reported on his official Twitter profile a new animation for an extra large male skin. It is assumed that he is therefore of the well-known Marvel villain for the simple fact that he would be the only character of that type present in the Epic Games battle royale. However, it remains absolutely plausible that it could be from another not yet revealed, but all the attention at this moment is directed to him.
You will remember that Thanos was part of the first event in collaboration with Marvel for the creation of a crossover to sponsor the Infinity War movie. In fact, there was the Infinity Gauntlet which made it possible to transform into the villain seen in the recent feature film. Thanos is one of the most loved characters by fans of Fortnite and not, and therefore it would not be so absurd to see him return in the form of skins. In short, despite talking about it, we remind everyone that it is a mere speculation and that at the moment there is nothing official, so we will soon see if the team will actually add it.
