Galactus' return teased in Fortnite x Marvel comic trailer

The trailer begins with some familiar faces. Agent Jones, Spider-Man, and The Foundation look to be battling with some of the Imagined Order, namely Dr. Slone and Gunnar.

The title of the comic then appears. It will be called Fortnite x Marvel: Zero War. That's where the fun begins. The trailer sees some sort of misclick on a computer system that alters the portal's destination.

Then comes Galactus. The main plot point of the comic states there a fragment of the Zero Point has arrived in the Marvel Universe, and it may be what we see in Galactus' hands.

The comic will arrive on June 8, 2022. Fans will have to wait until it is released to see what part Galactus plays in the story, as the short moment near the start of the trailer is the only time he appears.

By the looks of it, the various heroes will travel through the different important events in the battle royale's history. It shows the storming of the bunker and the battle between giants.

That could mean the Devourer of Worlds event featuring Galactus is why he is seen in the trailer, rather than him playing a part in capturing the Zero Shard and using it for his dastardly deeds.

As seen with the DC Comics comic book series tied into the battle royale, this is media that doesn't directly affect the game itself. Just because Galactus is in the comic doesn't mean he will return to the video game.

It would make for quite the event if all the dangerous villains came back, got together, and had to be defeated to save the island. No matter what happens, though, any sign of Galactus can't be a good sign.
