Fortnite adds Black Panther statue
Fortnite is getting continuous updates during its Marvel season, and just today we're seeing that a Black Panther statue has been added. The statue, called Panther's Prowl, can be found to the left of Misty Meadows.
As you most likely know, actor Chadwick Boseman, who played Black Panther in multiple Marvel films, passed away at the age of 43 last week due to colon cancer. While it's nice to see a nod to the character in Fortnite, Epic says this statue was actually planned before that tragic event. That said, Epic still shared some kind words for Boseman in an interview with Kotaku.
"As with the rest of the world, we were greatly saddened to learn of the passing of actor Chadwick Boseman. The Black Panther monument arrived this morning as part of a previously-planned narrative for the new Chapter 2 - Season 4 season.”
