The Foundation is best known as the leader of The Seven and first arrived in Fortnite during Chapter 2 Season 6, with brief mentions in the game's storyline prior to that.

When The End, a live event marking the completion of Chapter 2 in its entirety, took place, The Foundation saved Agent Jones and took off his mask. This is when players first fully realized that the character was being portrayed by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

The internet was still sent into a frenzy when the casting was made official.

Now, far into Fortnite Chapter 3, much about The Foundation remains a mystery. That could change with The Rock's appearance at Summer Game Fest 2022.

The community is hyping up the announcement and hopes it won't just be The Rock talking about how he came to be The Foundation. Fans want to know more about the character's background and what part he plays in the game's lore.

As per Geoff Keighley, a notable gaming personality and the host of Summer Game Fest, The Rock will join the show on Thursday, June 9, 2022. He'll speak about his role as The Foundation and as the titular character in the Black Adam movie.

Summer Game Fest can be viewed online for free on the event's official website. It also has IMAX screenings in select locations. The stream begins on June 9 at 11 AM PT. It is currently unknown if this is when The Rock's segment will begin or simply when the stream for the entirety of Summer Game Fest will start.

Regardless, when The Rock does show up, expect new info to be revealed about The Foundation.
