5 things you should expect from a Fortnite movie

5) Nothing at all

Honestly, you shouldn't expect anything from a live-action Fortnite movie. Getting your hopes up could mean a huge letdown. Video games are notorious for not translating well to the big screen. Expect nothing and you might be surprised at how it turns out.


4) Very little battle royale

The entire premise of Fortnite is to survive until the very end in a battle royale setting. A movie would probably not focus on the fighting aspect of the game. If there is a live-action movie, expect it to have very little in terms of dropping from the Battle Bus and getting the Victory Royale.


3) A storyline similar to the events in-game

Piggybacking off of the above, a Fortnite movie would probably follow along with the in-game story. It could take some of the live events and turn them into live-action masterpieces. It could take bits and pieces, then break up the Chapters into separate movies, with Chapter 2 being a sequel as well.


2) Other properties

Fortnite has had a ton of collaborations and crossovers. From Batman to Star Wars and The Walking Dead to God of War, there is no shortage of other properties in the battle royale. Definitely expect some of those crossovers to appear in a movie.


1) A big name to play Jonesy

There is no way a live-action Fortnite movie focuses on anything other than Jonesy and his part in the universe's story. You can expect a global superstar to play the part. If there is going to be a live-action Fortnite move, they will need to go all out on that front.
