Epic Games has just revealed the first look Fortnite Ant-Man version, although if you weren’t looking closely enough, there’s a good chance you’ll miss it completely. The game’s Twitter account shared a teaser indicating that another Marvel skin would arrive and hid Ant-Man in the image for players to find before it arrived. This joke aligns very well with the emergence of a new portal and past references to Ant-Man suggesting it would arrive soon.
The following image may be one Fortnite players remember in early 2020 when the skins of Deadpool and X-Force appeared Fortnite. It shows Domino, Cable, and Psylocke in that order, but there is another character hidden inside the image if you look at Cable’s arms.
Over the seasons, many Marvel heroes and villains have headed to the island. But we seem to have forgotten one.

Like many players they have pointed out to others who didn’t catch the joke in the X-Force image, this is definitely Ant-Man sitting on Cable’s arm just below his elbow. Of course, it will have a normal size when added to the game, but it’s a clever mockery to hint at its arrival. She seems to be wearing the classic dress that people will expect her to wear when she is added, but it’s hard to figure out the details given her presence in the teaser.
Although now Ant-Man made his debut Fortnite The look and tweet that includes its resemblance directly mentioned the Marvel characters, players already suspected it would be added to the next game. Even before its portal officially appeared within the game, the portal was discovered in the game’s files with the code name “SmallFry” which immediately evoked Ant-Man thoughts. The Marvel section of the game’s item store was also recently updated in an apparent effort to prepare for the arrival of a new skin or for a Marvel skin to return. Based on the portal and the latest teaser featured in the game, it looks like it will be the first as long as Ant-Man is officially added.
It probably won’t be long before Ant-Man is officially in the game since Fortnite teasers usually follow established patterns and move quickly once they have started. It could be added as soon as this weekend, though Epic Games is sure to warn players when it’s available for purchase.
After adding Ant-Man, we still have a lot of skins we’d like to see before season 6 starts or later.
