Marvel Legends Marvel Fortnite Characters - What Might We See?

Last month we speculated about possibilities of seeing Marvel themed Fortnite characters showing up in the Marvel Legends line. This was based on the recent news that Hasbro was expanding their license agreement with Epic Games to do action figures based on the Fortnite video game. Since then we've learned that Hasbro's new license which will begin in 2022 will specifically allow them to do Fortnite figures in 6" or up scale. We also learned that Jazwares who was previously doing 6" Fortnite figures starting next year will now only be doing 2" and 6" figures.

So we still don't know for sure if Hasbro will start doing 6" Fortnite figures based on the Marvel characters that have been appearing in the game or not. We've seen them already start to do similar figures with their G.I. Joe Classified line when they recently announced a new Snake-Eyes Fortnite figure. We also told you last month how we had seen Hasbro Marvel brand team member Dan Yun perhaps hinting at things to come on social media in regards to Marvel Fortnite figures.

Still, for now we have know specifics on what Hasbro might do in regards to Fortnite, so we will have to wait and see if Marvel themed ones are actually in the cards or not. Never-the-less, for those who aren't super familiar with the Fortnite game like myself, I thought we would take a look at some of the Marvel character designs from the game. Just to give you an idea of how possible action figures might differ from other versions we have already gotten in the Marvel Legends line. Some of the Marvel characters as they have appeared in the Fortnite game differ a fair amount from their comic and movie counterparts, while others are very similar.



Captain America's look in the game seems to lean heavily on the movie design of his costume. Still I say you can never go wrong with a new Cap figure.



Iron Man's armor like Cap seems to be based on movie designs. However Tony Stark himself without his armor has appeared in the game as well which I think would make for a cool figure even if they didn't include the armor.



Thor I think has probably the most unique look in the game from any other version we have seen. This one seems like a given to me.

Natasha seems to have a fairly unique design for the game with the sleeveless outfit and the big Black Widow symbol on her chest.



She-Hulk is another one that seems to have a fairly unique design for the game. In fact that seems to be true for most of the female based Marvel characters.



Black Panther I think is one of the more recent additions to the game, however his look seems identical to versions of figures we have already gotten in the Marvel Legends line.



Captain Marvel is another recent addition to the game, and like Panther her outfit is very similar to other versions we already have figures of.



From the Guardians of the Galaxy we have Star-Lord that is rocking a look that varies a bit from the comics and movies.



Groot has also been in the game, but Groot is pretty much just Groot, so nothing special here.



Next we have seen a number of X-Men based characters show up in the game including Wolverine with both a brown and yellow suit. These are pretty similar to his looks in the comics, but I can't see Hasbro passing up an opportunity to give us another Wolverine.



Storm has also had a couple of looks in the game, both I think would make for cool action figures.



Mystique is another one that has had multiple looks in the game.



Psylocke I believe has only had one look in the game but it's unique enough I think it would make for a cool figure.



Rounding out the X-Men female characters is Domino who also seems to have a pretty unique look for the game.



Of course where Domino goes you can bet Cable and Deadpool are going to follow as well. Neither of these two seem to have looks that differ from the comics. However like Wolverine, I can't see Hasbro passing up an opportunity to give us another Deadpool figure.




It's not just heroes from the Marvel Universe that have made the crossover to Fornite though, we've got some bad guys that would make for cool new figures as well. The most notable I think is Dr. Doom.



Joining him is Taskmaster.



And then for cosmic bad guys we have Thanos who sports pretty much his movie look.



And then saving the biggest and possibly best for last, good ol' Galactus. At first you might think that giving us a character the size of Galactus in a Fortnite themed line would be a stretch. But if you think about how Fortnite is such a household name that is popular with kids. Having the Fortnite name on a figure that retailers might not normally be so quick to want to carry due to it's size and cost would be an added bonus. You might convince those retailers a Fortnite version of Galactus will have more kids cross appeal and hence sell better. Your right, I wouldn't hold my breath, but I have heard of stranger things happening.



So there you have it. I think I got most the characters from Marvel that have appeared in the game so far. Spider-Man I believe is coming if he hasn't shown up in Fortnite already, but I couldn't find any good images or indications his look will be anything different from what we've seen before. If Hasbro starts giving us Marvel themed Fortnite figures down the road, which one if any would you like to see get the figure treatment? Let us know in the COMMENTS SECTION below.
