Marvel’s Fantastic Four: First Steps is set to premiere in theaters this week. But the excitement isn’t limited to the big screen; the Fantastic Four are also arriving in Fortnite on the same day. This marks Marvel’s iconic superheroes’ debut in the popular action shooter game. The crossover not only introduces skins of the four legendary characters but also features a Fantastic Four Cup with exciting rewards. Let’s explore more about the Fortnite Fantastic Four crossover below.
Fortnite Fantastic Four Crossover
Fortnite continuously features crossovers. There’s always at least one event or crossover live, often changing every other week. Recently, we saw the Bruno Mars event and the Superman crossover upon its theatrical release. Next up are the beloved characters from the MCU’s Fantastic Four: First Steps. In the movie, they face their toughest challenge yet as they defend Earth from Galactus and the Silver Surfer.
The Fortnite Fantastic Four crossover will bring the four characters to the item shop, each with themed cosmetics. These include:
Reed Richards (Mr. Fantastic): He comes with his flexible Fantastic Fists, Pickaxe, and the Fantastic Calculations Emote.
Susan Storm (Invisible Woman): Known for her psionic powers, she features built-in Psionic Orbs as her Pickaxe, a Force Field Shatter Emote, and a logo back bling.
Ben Grimm (The Thing): Available in a Ready-to-Rumble alternate style, with the It’s Clobberin’ Time! Emote and matching back bling.
Johnny Storm (The Human Torch): Includes a built-in “Flame On!” Emote to transform into his alternate style, The Human Torch, along with Torch’s Flame Pickaxe.
Note that pickaxes are not character-specific; all the mentioned pickaxes are universal and can be used with other outfits. All four characters will be available in the item shop to purchase. Players also have a chance to unlock these skins early through the Fantastic Four Cup. Continue reading below for more details about the Cup.
Fortnite Fantastic Four Cup
Fortnite features a packed schedule of events, including the PlayStation Cup, Squid Grounds Cash Cup, Duos and Trios ranked cups, and more.

The top players from each region will earn the entire Fantastic Four Bundle at no cost, before it becomes available for purchase in the Item Shop.
Even if you don’t place in the top ranks, you won’t leave empty-handed. Surviving 60 minutes in-game earns you the It’s Clobberin’ Time Spray, while surviving 120 minutes unlocks the Flame On Emoticon.
