Given\u00a0Fortnite<\/strong><\/em>‘s global popularity, it’s hardly surprising that numerous other companies would want a piece of the pie and take advantage of the game’s customization options to include skins based on other popular franchises. So far, the likes of Star Wars<\/em>, DC Comics, and especially Marvel (which is the whole focus of the current season)<\/a> have all\u00a0had their characters make appearances.<\/p>\n

So, the question is, what franchise will Epic Games collaborate on next? While\u00a0Fortnite<\/a><\/em>‘s probably overflowing with superhero guest stars at this point, from Batman to Wolverine, actor Jack Quaid has expressed a desire to see skins based on superhero show The Boys<\/em> be included at some point.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Comic Book, Quaid, who plays civilian vigilante Hughie Campbell in the Amazon series, reveals that he has been playing a lot of\u00a0Fortnite\u00a0<\/em>as of late due to the coronavirus pandemic and thinks\u00a0The Boys\u00a0<\/em>would be a perfect fit for Epic Games’ battle royale.<\/p>\n

“There’s so many legal things to figure out with that, but I’ve been spending a lot of my time playing Fortnite with Jessie T Usher who plays A-Train, in quarantine.\u00a0That’s what you do…And every time I play, I’m like, ‘This is perfect for our characters, just for skins.’ But yeah, man, it just makes so much sense. It makes so much sense. It needs to be a thing.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This isn’t the first video game related idea Quaid has had, as he has previously shared some of his own ideas for\u00a0The Boys\u00a0<\/em>games,\u00a0like a tabletop RPG or something developed by Rocksteady<\/a>, the studio behind the\u00a0Batman: Arkham\u00a0<\/em>games and the upcoming\u00a0Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Of course, Quaid likely has no say on such a deal even happening, but this could potentially spark a conversation between Epic and the show’s producers. However, given that\u00a0The Boys\u00a0<\/em>is aimed at mature audiences<\/a> and features a very dark and cynical tone, Epic may think twice about incorporating any of it into\u00a0Fortnite.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

A large chunk of\u00a0Fortnite<\/em>‘s audience consists of young children, something that the likes of\u00a0Marvel and Star Wars<\/em> can be marketed to.\u00a0Promoting a purely adult series like The Boys\u00a0<\/em>in an otherwise cartoony game could result in controversy and a backlash from parents.<\/p>\n

These are things that Epic most definitely doesn’t need at the moment, as it is still in the midst of its lawsuit with Apple. The antagonism between the two companies has only been escalating as of late, with Apple now warning that\u00a0Fortnite\u00a0<\/a><\/em>won’t be returning to its app store until 2021 at the earliest<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This doesn’t appear to be stopping Epic from continuing to do some cross-promotion. Recently, it’s struck a deal to provide anyone who buys\u00a0Star Wars: Squadrons\u00a0<\/em>on the Epic Games Store<\/a>\u00a0a free X-Wing Glider to use in Fortnite.<\/em><\/p>\n

Fortnite\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>is available on Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.<\/p>\n
