Although Fortnite strayed away from the hunter theme a long time ago, the game has stuck to the superhero theme. At this point, the community was expecting a collaboration with Wanda Vision, but the scarlet witch hasn't joined the island yet.

Either way, fans will see Ant-Man in Fortnite. The care package that Squatingdog received contained an ant farm. It was a clear hint about Ant-Man's entry. The care package contained items that hinted at almost every single hunter arriving in Fortnite this season.

Fans feel that Ant-Man joining the game is anti-climatic. They believe that someone else should have been the final hunter. The publishers could have released Ant-Man in Fortnite earlier. The community wanted a bigger splash.

While that’s kinda anticlimactic. I definitely don’t think he should’ve been the final recruit. They should’ve brought him earlier in the season and saved the last one for something big.

It's safe to say that Fortnite has assembled its own metaverse given the number of diverse characters in the game so far. However, it's not clear if Epic Games will stop, given that collaborations greatly boost revenue and notoriety.

In all probability, players will see more collaborations and crossovers in the future. With Ant-Man in Fortnite, it is clear that the game has the largest collection of IPs.
