Fortnite Adds Sam Wilson’s Hated Captain America

Sam Wilson’s Captain America has been added to Fortnite. The game, as expected, has expanded far beyond other Battle Royale games.

It’s essentially a modern virtual toy box where you can play with characters from all kinds of franchises. There are really no limitations on who you can play with at this point. Batman, Spider-Man, Master Chief, Kratos and many, many other iconic characters are featured prominently in the game and the list grows with incredible frequency.

That has helped the game achieve a level of success that many other free games haven’t seen and allowed it to evolve into something truly special. Now, it’s a game where players can expect innovative gameplay, massive events, and huge crossovers.

The latest character to join Fortnite is Sam Wilson aka Captain America. Wilson has been at Marvel for quite some time and was best known for his previous role as Falcon before taking over. The hero is heading to Fortnite in a new bundle with a loading screen from BriteStar. You can find the bundle in the store right now and take to the skies as the iconic Marvel hero.

Strength defined by hard work and a willingness to do what’s necessary.

Just like in the comics, Sam Wilson recently took over the role of Captain America in the MCU after Steve Rogers was unable to fill that role. At the end of Avengers: Endgame, Rogers traveled back in time to return the Infinity Stones, staying in the 1940s and 1950s to live a peaceful life with Peggy Carter. However, he was able to meet Sam in the present day when he was an old man and gave his shield to his friend Sam.

After a rather tumultuous series of events in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Sam Wilson officially donned the Stars and Stripes on his Falcon uniform, essentially making him a hybrid between his old character and Captain America. Sam Wilson will get the first solo film of him as Captain America in Captain America: New World Order in 2024.
