Recent Fortnite leaks indicate that a new popular Marvel character may be playable in the game soon. The appearance of the fan-favorite Sam Wilson, who currently holds the title of Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, could be the first chance for Fortnite gamers to play as the first black man to become Captain America if the leak is confirmed.

Now, Wilson is set to star in the upcoming Captain America: New World Order movie, which will be out in 2024.
