Fortnite is known for its addictive gameplay, building mechanics, and ongoing support, but its skins and crossover events have become just as big as the gameplay over the past few years. One of the next big skin additions to Fortnite may be meme-related, and it could star none other than Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
With Fortnite’s NFL skin crossover returning recently, and dozens of Marvel skins having joined the game through Season 4, there are plenty of characters Dwayne Johnson has played that could fit well into Fortnite’s universe. From his upcoming role as Black Adam in the DCEU, his wrestling attire, or even The Scorpion King, there are plenty of options for the Fortnite team. However, the hypothetical skin based on The Rock would take none of these forms, and instead would be based off a meme that “The Great One” has never lived down.
A float from the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade was seen paying homage to The Rock’s fanny pack meme, which saw a young Dwayne Johnson sporting a hilarious haircut and outfit. The meme has spread over the last several years, and while Pikachu’s parade dance sequence stole the show on Thanksgiving, this float still caught some attention. Twitter user BrandonDavisBD called out the float’s similarity to a Fortnite skin, and it was not long before the comments echoed this statement.
While numerous commenters were quick to voice their support for the skin, a few were less enthusiastic. Comments ranged from “I’d buy this skin in a heartbeat” to “thanks I hate it,” but every commenter agreed that the float’s Rock parody resembled a skin from Epic’s beloved battle royale. Twitter user Joshua Erenberg’s “…don’t give them ideas” comment was enough to spark a reply from the star, with The Rock taking a break from filming movies and planning out the XFL to comment on the float.
The Rock replied to Brandon Davis directly, saying “way ahead of you, BD” alongside a winky face emoji. A “Great Minds” line of text was also seen within the tweet, with both lines hinting that The Rock could soon be contacting the Fortnite team about a skin based on the silly float and the fanny pack meme that inspired it. While there are plenty of funny Fortnite memes already, Epic Games may soon be embracing another meme that is not related to its own game.
Thankfully, Fortnite players have plenty of skins to choose from until The Rock and his delightful fanny pack arrive. With dozens of Marvel heroes to choose from and The Mandalorian supposedly joining Fortnite’s roster, the wait for this meme-based skin should not feel long at all.
Fortnite is free-to-play for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
