Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3has been a bit of a mixed bag so far, with some players feeling that the new content (and the balancing therewith) hasn’t quite lived up to expectations. But just when all hope seemed lost, Epic Games has dropped a bombshell: Deadpool and Wolverine skins are now available in the game, and they’re both absolutely stunning.
The release of these skins coincides with the highly anticipatedDeadpool & Wolverinemovie, starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, which has fans of both franchises giddy with excitement.
A Dynamic Duo Like No Other

Deadpool‘s suit bears the unmistakable marks ofWolverine‘s adamantium claws, while the latter himself looks like he’s taken a few hits from the Merc with a Mouth’s katanas. The cel-shaded art style perfectly captures the comic book essence of these characters, making them stand out from the crowd in the best possible way.
