Similar to the MCU, Fortnite often plans things well in advance. Recently, the two entities collaborated on something massive for both parties. Their strong working relationship was evident in the Marvel-themed Chapter 2 Season 4 battle pass, which featured various Marvel skins and cosmetics in the Item Shop. Speculation is rife about the upcoming season and its potential ties to the superhero brand. A leak that went viral over a week ago hinted at a shocking connection to the future of the MCU.

Fortnite Leaker Unveils Accurate MCU Theory
Leaks for each Fortnite season can surface at any moment, and Chapter 5 Season 4 is no exception. A leak from July 21 hinted at the return of Doctor Doom, a significant character in the Chapter 2 Season 4 storyline. Given the extensive use of Marvel characters in that season, a Doctor Doom comeback isn’t entirely surprising. However, what caught everyone’s attention was a theory proposed in response to this leak.
The theory suggested that Robert Downey Jr., known for his portrayal of Iron Man, would be taking on the role of Doctor Doom in future MCU projects. While initially dismissed as far-fetched, this theory turned out to be true. At San Diego Comic-Con, Downey revealed his involvement in the upcoming Avengers Doomsday film set for 2026.
With Doctor Doom poised for a return in Fortnite’s next season, set to launch next month, the timing couldn’t be better. Interest in the character is surging, and it seems both Fortnite and a certain X user had insider knowledge. The possibility of a major collaboration looms on the horizon, as hinted at by some Fortnite surveys.
