Fortnite’s Chapter 5 Season 4 trailer has been revealed and it brings back Marvel heroes and villains back to the looped island with Dr. Doom causing all the destruction.
During Fortnite’s mini-live event on August 10, players were shown footage of someone hacking the fuel pipeline running between the Redline Rig and Brutal Beachhead POIs.
The pipeline overloaded as a consequence, resulting in a massive explosion that obliterated Redline Rig. But, what’s most interesting is the person responsible for the hack – Marvel villain Doctor Doom – as teased by the green hooded icon during the hack.
Now with the Disney D23 event that was streamed live in Fortnite, Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige revealed the full trailer for the next Fortnite season which is Marvel-themed and is called Absolute Doom.

Trailer breakdown
The 1-minute 31-second trailer for the next Fortnite season revealed some key details about Chapter 5 Season 4. The trailer started with a new look of Dr. Doom, opening Pandora’s Box and unleashing the evils on the looped island.
Soon, a Jonesy skin dressed as Captain America swings his shield and teams up with Cyclops’ X-Men and Peelverine skin to battle against the villains. On the other hand, Dr. Doom recruits all the villains including breaking out Mysterio from the RAFT prison.
Then the heroes and villains clash against one another when the gameplay footage hits. A new Castle Castle POI, Latveria POI, and Raft POI are revealed to be added to the Fortnite map next season.
A day after the trailer was released, Epic followed up with a further Chapter 5 Season 4 map tease in a post to their Twitter/X account. “Every place has a story. And every story is undiscovered,” they mysteriously stated alongside an image of the island covered by a green mist.

However, this has barely revealed much as all the places where the new POIs will be placed have been covered by the mist. If you look very closely, you can see a vague outline of Castle Doom at the top right of the map, and other small parts through the faint parts of the mist.
Over on TikTok on August 14, 2024, Marvel Entertainment shared four screenshots revealing points of interest for Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4. This includes the Fallen Fantastic Four sign and another screenshot of Castle Doom.
Furthermore, special Marvel powers will make a comeback in the upcoming season as Captain America’s Shield, Black Panther’s Claws, Iron Man’s Repulsors, and War Machine’s Turrets can be seen obliterating villains in the trailer.
Players will also get a new version of Dr. Doom’s powers and some new weapons including Stark Industries’ Energy Rifle, Dual SMGs, a new Sniper Rifle, a new Single-Hand Pistol, Silent Scar, Heavy AR, and a gold Scar.
The trailer also showcases Season 4’s Battle Pass which includes War Machine, Peelverine, Emma Frost, Captain Jonesy, Mysterio, Shuri, and Dr. Doom.
