Fortnite Leaks Reveal New Iron Man Variants and Avatar Skins

New leaks hint at exciting additions coming to Fortnite, including fresh Iron Man skins and characters from James Cameron's Avatar franchise. While Iron Man has previously made appearances in the game, his return could introduce new armor designs and unique in-game features.

Over the years, Fortnite has become a hub for pop culture crossovers, featuring characters from countless franchises. From superheroes to movie monsters, Epic Games has turned Fortnite into a digital playground reminiscent of Ready Player One, where players can embody their favorite characters. With the recent Godzilla collaboration, even long-standing memes about Fortnite’s crossover potential have become reality.

According to reliable Fortnite news source HypeX, upcoming updates will not only bring back Iron Man but also introduce characters from Avatar. It’s important to note that this is separate from the previous Fortnite x Avatar: The Last Airbender event. These new skins are based on Jake Sully and Neytiri from James Cameron's Avatar films, specifically Avatar: The Way of Water.

Iron Man Variants Inspired by the Comics

Leaked images showcase several new Iron Man skin variations. The primary design resembles the Iron Man Mk45 armor but with brighter, more comic-accurate colors, differing from its Marvel Cinematic Universe counterpart. The skin reportedly includes multiple cosmetic variants:

• A black-and-gold armor, inspired by Tony Stark's suit from Kieron Gillen's Invincible Iron Man comic run.
• A stealth-themed variant featuring light panels, drawing from the "stealth suits" seen in the comics.
• A green-and-silver version, which seems to incorporate design elements reminiscent of Doctor Doom’s armor, possibly hinting at a crossover tie-in.

Avatar Skins: Jake Sully and Neytiri

The Avatar skins are modeled after Jake and Neytiri’s appearances in Avatar: The Way of Water. Jake is shown in his Na'vi form, reflecting his permanent transition from human to Na'vi to raise a family with Neytiri. His design still includes some remnants of his military gear from his human days. Neytiri's skin features traditional Na'vi attire, though with added modifications for Fortnite, such as a swimsuit-like outfit, likely to adjust for the game's character design standards.

Long-Awaited Crossovers Confirmed

If these leaks are accurate, they confirm two rumors that have been circulating within the Fortnite community for some time. The return of Iron Man has been speculated since mid-2024, while hints of an Avatar collaboration have been floating around as far back as 2023. Fans of both Disney-owned properties have plenty to look forward to in the upcoming Fortnite updates.
