James Gunn’s film The Suicide Squad is set to hit theatres and HBO Max on Aug. 6, bringing plenty of DC’s more obscure and underutilized characters to the big screen for the first time. DC’s relationship with Fortnite would seem stronger than ever with the two companies that have worked together on the Batman / Fortnite: Zero Point comic series, which has run for six issues so far. 

Even this season’s battle pass boasts one of DC’s most iconic characters, Superman, who will be joining the cast later this month. While Bloodsport is joining the cast, it isn’t clear if any of the other members of The Suicide Squad will be brought into the action aside from Harley Quinn, who has been available in the game for a while.

If you’re eager to add Bloodsport to your collection of characters in Fortnite, you’ll want to keep an eye out when more news drops tomorrow regarding his release.
