Captain Marvel has finally arrived
New Marvel hero Carol Danvers, best known by her superhero name Captain Marvel, is likely to debut in Fortnite during the 14.30 patch update.
Epic Games has yet to confirm her arrival, but leaks and teasers have already done a lot to point to her possible debut. There is plums by SizzyLeaks, broken particle effects in the royal battle and much more. She's definitely on her way.
The main clues are taken from the next character's codename, "Cherry". The name is related to a number of leaked particle effects that appear to be Captain Marvel's energy blasts.
Danvers has also appeared in many editions of the Fortnite x Marvel crossover comics at the massive limited edition event. Those appearances included Avengers battles and the Fantastic Four episode released in the middle of last month.
We'll update this article when the release date for Captain Marvel is confirmed.
