A Fortnite movie is coming. No, that'southward non an announcement, though at that place have been rumors of a Fortnite pic for some fourth dimension now. But it'due south practically a foregone determination that one of the biggest names in entertainment, a make with its mitt in basically every intellectual holding money pit correct now, from Star Wars to Curiosity and much more, is going to get a movie. It'south only a matter of time.

One could argue that a movie is an old-fashioned way of doing things. Fortnite already features some incredible cinematic alive events that players can live through themselves, which ends upwards feeling quite like existence in a Fortnite movie already. But I do think, fifty-fifty in this weird era for movie theaters, that a Fortnite movie would be massive. Information technology'south important to capitalize on the game's still sky-loftier popularity, lest Epic Games and partners take chances launching it when the game is losing steam, like the Aroused Birds Flick.

With and then many crossovers and characters constantly coming to Fortnite, no doubt a Fortnite pic would be packed full of more collaborations than Prepare Role player 1, but for this exercise, I'chiliad going to focus just on Fortnite'south homegrown heroes and largely pull from the most important characters in Fortnite lore, such equally Jonesy, Doctor Slone, and Midas. Whether information technology's a alive-activity adaptation or an blithe characteristic with a star-studded vox cast, hither's who I envision every bit the stars of the inevitable Fortnite motion picture.

Jonesy - Tom Holland

Holland is already the famous face of Spider-Homo and Nathan Drake on the big screen, but if you recollect he can't also play the main graphic symbol of the Fortnite motion-picture show, I'd have to approximate y'all haven't heard what Chris Pratt'southward been up to. Holland suits Jonesy's mix of a young everyman with some jokey reluctant hero tropes that he's already doing well in his other movies. As with his office as Drake, he's also young enough to play Jonesy for the years of sequels to come.

The Foundation - The Rock

No need to go cute hither. The Rock is already playing the muscular leader of The 7 in Fortnite, and there'southward every reason to think he'd fulfill that role in the picture show version as well. The Rock has star power like few others, appealing to both kids and adults dating back to his WWF days. It's a shine he'southward never actually lost, and he'd play off of Holland perfectly in the same buddy-cop way that The Foundation and Jonesy already exercise in the game.

Doctor Slone - Jasmin Savoy Brown

Jasmine Savoy Brown's last half-decade has seen her catapulted into the upper echelon of young stars, and hers is a star however rising. She'due south already flexed her ability to play complicated morally dubious characters in projects like The Leftovers, Scream, and Yellowjackets, so she'd fit right in as the probably evil, merely peradventure misunderstood Medico Slone.

The Cube Queen - Carrie-Anne Moss

Coming off dorsum-to-back high-profile roles in The Matrix Resurrections and Horizon Forbidden West, Carrie Ann Moss makes a lot of sense as the formidable Cube Queen. This is a character who may not appear in the first Fortnite movie, bold it rehashes the story to a predictable degree, but Moss would make for a large name attached to the sequel in the manner studios love to do, and she'south got the commanding free energy the Cube Queen demands.

Midas - Oscar Isaac

One matter Epic got incorrect about Midas, in my opinion, is that he'southward meant to be Jules' dad, but the two characters wait nigh the same historic period. If the movie was live-action, that could exist stock-still by casting an older actor, but still someone who feels dripping with fashion and dangerous attraction. Of course, I'm speaking of Oscar Isaac. He'south the perfect age and would bring his soon-to-be-earned Marvel fandom with him.

Jules - Ariana Grande

This would be fun for a few reasons. For one, Grande is starting to endeavour interim, equally seen in Netflix's Don't Look Up recently. But more than that, Grande is already a large proper name in Fortnite thank you to her Rift Tour concert in the summer of 2021. For Grande to show upwardly in the Fortnite movie every bit a character created by Epic would be a fun nod to the game's ain internal history, non to mention Grande is a few fake tattoos abroad from resembling Jules pretty closely.

The Paradigm - Mackenzie Davis

At the fourth dimension of writing this, Epic is nevertheless drip-feeding us story about why The Image was cast out of The Vii (and why the group may now be considering bringing her back). Information technology seems like the writers take big, big plans for this mysterious hero, and if that translates to the picture show, you'll need a rising star to fill the function. After nailing information technology in things like Black Mirror and Station Eleven, I dear Mackenzie Davis for this part. She's believable every bit a hero with a checkered by, which seems to be who Ballsy is telling us The Prototype is.

The Scientist - Joel McHale

Like The Foundation, The Scientist's in-game voice role player could comfortably slide into the movie office but also. Joel McHale has washed a not bad job as The Scientist, bringing a comic relief graphic symbol to the story that, while colorful and silly in general, tends to be about the universe collapsing in on itself when you lot really get down to the details. He's basically playing Jeff Winger from Community--but isn't he ever? Every bit sardonic equally always, McHale has the right amount of star power to fill out this cast.

Peely - Donald Glover

Look, if we're not gonna get the Community moving-picture show, then I'g using this as my own personal wishing well to reunite at to the lowest degree some of the bandage in something. Glover has incredible comedic chops and would obviously kill it as the Fortnite world'south anthropomorphic banana. Plus he'd do wonders with the eventual dancing assistant segment that yous've gotta know makes the final cut of any Fortnite movie. While we're at information technology, let's get Danny Pudi on the fitness fast-track to play Meowscles, Midas' buff cat, too.

The Fortnite universe is massive, so this is only a principal cast, more or less. Who else would you like to come across in an eventual Fortnite movie? If you lot like this sort of matter, bring together me every week for my weekly cavalcade defended to the Fortnite storyline, Friday 'Nite.
