Doctor Doom is the latest Marvel centerpiece to worm its way into Fortnite, but Victor Von Doom isn’t the only character who shows up in the trailer. X-Men like Cable, Cyclops, Rogue, Jubilee, and Colossus show up, too, as does Spider-Man villain Mysterio. Some cosmetics and weapons based on characters like Sabertooth, Captain America, Iron Man, and Black Panther can also be seen in the footage, making it clear that Marvel’s relationship with Fortnite still has a lot of life left in it.

Disney took the opportunity at its latest D23 showcase to prove that it’s all in on Fortnite in more ways than one. This fall, Fortnite players can look forward to appearances from a selection of iconic Disney villains like Maleficent, Cruella de Vil, 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.
