The Star-Studded Battle Royale: Every Celebrity Who’s Dropped Into Fortnite
Epic Games turned Fortnite into something way bigger than just another battle royale—it’s become this massive cultural phenomenon that’s pulled in over 650 million registered players and raked in billions in revenue. And nothing says “we’ve made it” quite like the absolutely wild lineup of A-list celebrities who’ve lent their voices and likenesses to the game.
Let’s be real, when you’re running around the island and hear a familiar voice, it hits different.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson brought his unmistakable energy to The Foundation, one of the most important characters in Fortnite’s lore. The Foundation isn’t just any skin—he’s literally the leader of The Seven, the group trying to save reality itself (no pressure, right?). You know The Rock from, well, everything—Fast & Furious, Jumanji, Black Adam, and his legendary WWE career. His performance captures that commanding presence he’s known for, and the skin itself is absolutely massive, which feels pretty on-brand. Johnson recorded his lines during the height of the pandemic, working closely with Epic Games to nail the mysterious yet heroic vibe The Foundation needed.
The character shows up during some of Fortnite’s most crucial story moments, and having someone with The Rock’s star power voicing him made those cinematics feel legitimately epic.
Brie Larson voices Paradigm, another member of The Seven who’s got serious main character energy. She’s a brilliant scientist and pilot who broke away from the Imagined Order, and Larson brings this perfect mix of intelligence and determination to the role. Beyond her Oscar-winning performance in Room and playing Captain Marvel in the MCU, she’s also known for 21 Jump Street and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. What’s cool is that Larson’s actually a huge gamer herself—she’s streamed on YouTube and talked openly about her love for Animal Crossing and other games, so this wasn’t just another paycheck for her.
The Paradigm skin became one of those instant favorites when it dropped.
Then there’s Gal Gadot, who stepped in to voice and model for Wonder Woman when DC characters started showing up in Fortnite. She’s brought Diana Prince to life across multiple films including Wonder Woman, Batman v Superman, and Justice League, plus she starred in the Fast & Furious franchise. Her involvement meant players got an authentic Wonder Woman experience, complete with her signature grace and warrior spirit. The skin comes with her iconic Lasso of Truth and shield, and hearing Gadot’s actual voice when you’re using Wonder Woman emotes just makes the whole thing feel that much more legitimate.
DC went all-in with their Fortnite collaborations, and having the actual movie actors voice their characters was a smart move.
John Cena can actually be seen (despite the memes) as both a skin and voice in Fortnite. The sixteen-time WWE champion and star of Peacemaker, The Suicide Squad, and Blockers brought his larger-than-life personality to the island. His character skin dropped alongside special Peacemaker gear, and you can rock his entrance gear or the full superhero costume. Cena recorded custom voice lines that capture his comedic timing and that earnest intensity he does so well. He even promoted the collaboration on his social media, showing he was genuinely into being part of the Fortnite universe.
The crossover made total sense given how both Cena and Fortnite dominate their respective entertainment spaces.
Megan Thee Stallion didn’t just voice a character—she became one. The Grammy-winning rapper known for hits like “Savage,” “WAP,” and “Hot Girl Summer” got her own skin that’s pure fire. Her avatar captures her confident, bold aesthetic perfectly, and she recorded exclusive emotes with her music that let players dance to her actual tracks. The collab dropped during her massive rise to superstardom, and Epic Games worked directly with her team to nail every detail, from her signature long nails to her iconic style. Players can grab different styles of her outfit, including some with her real tattoos.
She even performed a virtual concert in Fortnite’s Party Royale mode, which was insane.
LeBron James brought basketball royalty to the battle royale when his Icon Series skin launched. The four-time NBA champion and star of Space Jam: A New Legacy got multiple versions of his skin, including his Tune Squad uniform and regular streetwear looks. While the skin doesn’t have extensive voice lines, his presence in the game came with basketball-themed emotes and even a special creative mode court. LeBron’s been vocal about gaming with his kids, so the collaboration felt natural. His skin became one of the highest-selling Icon Series releases, proving that sports legends translate incredibly well to Fortnite’s ecosystem.
You can literally dunk on people while dressed as King James himself.
Travis Scott made Fortnite history with his Astronomical event, one of the most-watched virtual concerts ever with over 27 million players experiencing it live. The rapper and producer behind hits like “Sicko Mode,” “Goosebumps,” and “Highest in the Room” got his own skin that’s become legendary in the community. His gigantic avatar walked through the island during the concert, and players could unlock additional styles. Scott worked with Epic Games for months planning the event, which featured a psychedelic journey through different worlds set to his music. The collaboration changed what people thought was possible in video games.
His skin still gets brought up as one of the coolest celebrity additions ever.
Ariana Grande followed up Travis Scott’s concert with her own Rift Tour event, and she absolutely delivered. The pop superstar known for Wicked, “Thank U, Next,” “7 Rings,” and countless other hits got a gorgeous skin with multiple styles including her iconic ponytail look. Over 78 million players participated in the Rift Tour across multiple showings, making it even bigger than Scott’s event. Grande recorded voiceovers for the experience and worked closely with Epic to create something that felt uniquely her. Her Piggy Smalls back bling (based on her actual pet pig) became an instant fan favorite.
The concert featured her floating through space and transforming into different cosmic versions of herself—it was genuinely breathtaking.
Tom Holland voices Spider-Man whenever Marvel’s web-slinger swings into Fortnite. The actor who brought Peter Parker to life in the MCU across films like Spider-Man: No Way Home, Spider-Man: Homecoming, and multiple Avengers movies recorded lines specifically for the game. His youthful energy and genuine enthusiasm shine through in the voice work, and Epic included multiple versions of the Spider-Man skin including his various MCU suits. Holland’s involvement meant fans got the authentic Spider-Man experience they wanted, complete with web-swinging mechanics during certain game modes.
Marvel and Epic’s partnership has brought in tons of superheroes, but Spider-Man remains one of the most popular.
Neymar Jr. rounded out another massive sports collaboration when the Brazilian soccer legend got his own skin. One of the highest-paid athletes in the world and star player for clubs like Barcelona, PSG, and the Brazilian national team, Neymar brought soccer culture to the island. His skin includes multiple styles and soccer-themed emotes, letting players show off their footwork before dropping into battle. While not heavily voice-acted, his presence in the game connected with Fortnite’s massive international audience, especially in South America and Europe where soccer dominates. The collaboration included special challenges and rewards that made unlocking different Neymar styles feel rewarding.
Epic keeps proving they can attract literally anyone to their platform, and Neymar’s addition expanded Fortnite’s appeal even further into the sports world where they’d already found success with LeBron.
