Epic Games continues to build momentum for Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2 by leaning into a strong Marvel theme. In the latest teaser for the upcoming season, titled Showdown, you get a glimpse of an MCU-inspired Captain America skin along with hints tied to the broader Avengers storyline.
The short preview suggests a closer connection to the Marvel universe, including a nod to the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday film. As you look ahead to the new season, the teaser sets expectations for a crossover that could shape both the cosmetic lineup and the season’s narrative focus.
An MCU-Accurate Captain America Variant Heads to Fortnite
You first saw Captain America join Fortnite in Chapter 2 Season 3, ahead of the full Marvel-themed season. That version reflected his later Marvel Cinematic Universe look, similar to other heroes featured during Chapter 2 Season 4.
Now, Epic Games teases a different take.
In a recent trailer, you can spot Steve Rogers preserved in ice while the Ice King surveys the scene. The image clearly references his original MCU debut, Captain America: The First Avenger. His classic circular shield and suit design align closely with Chris Evans’s early portrayal rather than his modernized Avengers-era gear.
Key differences from previous versions include:
- Early-war MCU suit design
- Traditional shield styling
- Visual cues tied to his first film appearance
The timing aligns with Disney confirming Steve Rogers’ return in Avengers: Doomsday, which the trailer subtly references. You can also spot other brief character cameos, though those appear to be original Fortnite creations.
Epic Games has not confirmed how you will unlock this outfit. Many expect it to land in an upcoming Battle Pass, but no official details or reliable leaks verify that yet.
Which Other Fighters Showed Up in the Teaser?
You can spot three additional figures sealed inside massive ice slabs during the trailer sequence. Each one connects to Fortnite’s past storylines in different ways.
The most recognizable is The Foundation, portrayed with Dwayne Johnson’s likeness. As a central member of The Seven, he first became playable in Chapter 3 Season 1, and the teaser places strong focus on his return.
Marketing for Chapter 7 Season 2 has highlighted The Seven, which suggests you may see The Foundation play a major role. If you missed unlocking him in his original Battle Pass run, this season may offer another opportunity.
The trailer also shows Orelia and The Prisoner frozen nearby. They appear in their standard designs rather than new variants.
It remains unclear how Orelia and The Prisoner will connect to Captain America or The Foundation. You will likely learn more when Showdown launches on March 19.
