Fortnite and Marvel have collaborated with each other a lot over the years, and some fans believe that Miles Morales, one of Marvel's most beloved Spider-Men, will have a skin in the game soon. Fortnite has already had skins of characters that are close to Miles, such as his friend and mentor Peter Parker's Spider-Man and uncle Aaron Davis/Prowler, so it would be great to see Kid Arachnid get added in next.
Miles has become very popular in recent years, being the main character of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, an animated film that released in 2018, and his own video game, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, which came out in 2020. After gaining so many fans, Fortnite players have really wanted to play as him in the battle royale game, and it seems that their wish is going to come true soon.
Shiina, a Twitter user that is known for covering leaks about Fortnite, posted an image of Miles Morales wearing his Spider-Man suit and hoodie. With the image, Shiina mentioned that in one of Fortnite's new Prowler quests, he says an exact quote that he said in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, "You're on your way. Just keep going." The scene that Prowler says this quote is one of the most iconic moments in the movie, and one of the most popular scenes that Prowler has ever been in from any media.
Another Twitter user, Justin_Neagle, brought the connection between the 2018 animated movie and the Prowler quest to Shiina's attention. Many fans have been excited to hear about it as it gives them more hope that Miles will get his own skin in Fortnite. Besides Miles being so popular among Spider-Man fans, gamers also think that he will be joining the game since the Daily Bugle is a location on the map and Prowler isn't as popular as him yet got into the game first.
With so many Marvel-inspired skins, events, and locations on the battle royale map, it's surprising that Miles hasn't been added into Fortnite yet. If this leak is to be believed, it will hopefully happen soon as so many players want to use him in their games. It also makes sense for him to be added into the game this year in order to promote the sequel to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (Part One), which is expected to release on October 7.
Fortnite is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
