The massively popular free-to-play shooter, also evolving as a metaverse-like space, is already bursting with figures from reality and fictional universes. Picture taking down Goku or Ariana Grande while embodying King Kong, carrying Yoda, and speeding away in the iconic KITT from Knight Rider, all while evading gunfire from the Power Rangers.
While the current roster is impressive, I believe there’s room for even more. Here’s my wishlist, in no particular order, of characters who absolutely need to be added to Fortnite.
Grimace
Let’s kick things off right away. I propose a collaboration between the game developers and the golden arches to empower Grimace with weaponry. Yes, I am appealing directly to any influential figures at either company to equip this famed purple McDonald’s mascot with a firearm. Let’s make this happen. The gaming world warrants it. Furthermore, Grimace should have the opportunity to enact revenge on those internet users who mocked his purple milkshake years back.
The Burger King Character From The Ads

He has history in the gaming space through both <em>Fight Night</em> and <a href="https://kotaku.com/wrestling-man-collects-2-706-copies-of-burger-king-vide-1848131841">a collection of not-so-amazing Burger King Xbox games</a>. Why not allow him to wreak havoc within <em>Fortnite</em>? And for those less enthusiastic about the King, here's a silver lining: his inclusion means endless opportunities to eliminate him in-game.

<h2>Agent 47</h2>
<figure class="wp-caption alignnone"><img decoding="async" class="" src="https://bitcoinnewscenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/1755076250_720_Grimaces-Gone-Gangsta-Fortnite-Skin-Dreams.jpg" alt="Hitman Agent 47" width="1170" height="659"/><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">IO Interactive</figcaption></figure>
<p>This is a potential crossover I consistently verify hasn't already occurred due to how fitting it seems. The lethal Agent 47 is a master marksman who is always eliminating targets, and is a human with realistic build proportions. Integrating this bald-headed assassin into <em>Fortnite</em> seems incredibly straightforward, and I anticipate substantial demand for his skin. Yet, <a href="https://kotaku.com/hey-agent-47-slow-down-on-the-stairs-you-could-hurt-s-1846223945">Agent 47</a> remains unplayable.</p>
<h2>Ask Jeeves Butler</h2>
<p>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcJ-xmQqmrA
Undoubtedly, incorporating a defunct mascot from a currently niche search engine represents a long shot, but here’s my proposal to game creators and the current custodians of Ask.com in 2025. The emerging generation, like those before, embraces “retro” content and aesthetics. A 1990s-themed Fortnite event, complete with era-specific characters and music, could be a big hit. This presents the perfect opportunity to resurrect Jeeves, the former face of AskJeeves.com.
Cal Kestis
The Fortnite world is already populated with Star Wars characters such as Obi-Wan, Darth Vader, Anakin, and others. That’s awesome, but the exclusion of Cal Kestis, from the Star Wars Jedi games, is disappointing. After finally receiving a Lego minifig, he’s overdue for a Fortnite skin. Perhaps the release of the series’ third game by EA and Respawn will coincide with the integration of the ginger-haired Jedi into the battle royale arena.
Gaston
Given the existing partnership between the two companies for character skins, including some villains during a recent Halloween event, Gaston from Beauty and the Beast might have the best chance of appearing on this entire list. If and when that occurs, I sincerely hope Epic incorporates an emote showcasing his chest hair and egg-eating prowess. This detail is of the upmost importance.
Someone From Star Trek
Why the lack of a Fortnite agreement to showcase Star Trek figures within the game? It’s difficult to envision a denial from the other side to incorporating Captain Kirk, Picard, or even a character from Lower Decks into the Fortnite universe. Thus, the onus appears to fall on the Paramount, but the reason is still shrouded in mystery. Are profits unimportant? Is it undesirable for Kirk to associate with Darth Vader? The specific reason is unclear, and it’s time to overcome this hurdle and facilitate this collaboration. I possess funds and an eagerness to spend!
Samus Aran
Continuing with corporations, it’s also necessary to call out Nintendo’s reluctance to provide any characters to Fortnite. Samus from Metroid would be an ideal fit. She utilizes firearms, eliminates threats, is generally humanoid, and would seamlessly integrate into the game’s universe. Please, Nintendo, abandon restraint and embrace collaboration. Other brands, such as Xbox and PlayStation, have willingly incorporated their stars into Fortnite. The Master Chief can be eliminated while embodying Kratos. Why not allow Samus to snipe as a celebration dance occurs over the corpse?
Weird Al
Lastly, my most heartfelt wish: add Weird Al to Fortnite. From the musician’s diverse career, one can create iconic character styles, and his glider could be an accordion. The legendary parodist also offers a wealth of music for inclusion in the Fortnite Festival. Why not devote a future Festival season entirely to Weird Al, which sounds like a more sensible option than the current season. Furthermore, Weird Al would be a cheaper option. Adding Weird Al would also make my wife happy, and that’s paramount, so let’s make this happen. (And Weird Al, if you’re reading this, you need to agree. Okay? Great.)
