"Oh yeah. #Fortnite fans prepare to get some dubs. @FortniteGame @idriselba," Gunn said in his tweet. As for the Bloodsport actor, he told viewers to get ready because Bloodsport is coming to the island.
Images of the Fortnite version of Bloodsport are shown in the brief clip. We get a look at Bloodsport's skeletal helmet, along with him gliding attached to a magnet to shoot his foes with a bazooka and blaster. More details regarding the Task Force X member's video game adaptation are promised to come tomorrow, when perhaps he'll be joined by the rest of The Suicide Squad cast.
