Disney is far from done with Fortnite. This fall, Fortnite players can look forward to appearances from a selection of iconic Disney villains like Maleficent, Cruella De Vill, and Captain Hook. Pixar characters are on the way, too. Specifically, Disney’s superhero family, the Incredibles, will show up in-game, with players able to enjoy content based on heroes like Mr. and Mrs. Incredible and Frozone.
