Black Panther’s arrival follows the addition of the Black Panther monument that was part of Fortnite’s Marvel-themed season. Even though it wasn’t added in response to the passing of Black Panther actor Chadwick Boseman, it was still a place many could go and celebrate the incredible actor and character.
Black Panther, Captain Marvel, and Taskmaster are only a few more example of the big name character skins being added to Fortnite and follow the additions of Halo’s Master Chief,God of War’s Kratos, and The Mandalorian.
