As a regular Fortnite player who has spent countless hours dropping into the loop, I have always been drawn to the game's ever-expanding multiverse of characters. Over the years I have watched Marvel heroes, Star Wars icons, and even anime legends step through the dimensional rift, each bringing a fresh wave of excitement to the Battle Royale. Now, with Fortnite deepening its collaboration with Disney throughout 2025 and into 2026, I find myself constantly checking the Item Shop, hoping to see some of my favorite Disney heroes finally make their debut. The villains have been getting a lot of love lately, which is fantastic, but everyone knows a story is only as good as its hero. That sentiment is especially true when you are scrambling for a Victory Royale with your squad.

I have spent a lot of time thinking about which Disney heroes would translate best into the world of Fortnite, where combat, creativity, and cosmetics collide in strange and delightful ways. Several names keep rising to the top of my personal wishlist, and each one brings something unique to the table. Whether it is the sentimental pull of childhood nostalgia or the pure chaotic fun of seeing a Disney character crank 90s, there is no shortage of candidates worth discussing.

Aladdin and His Street-Smart Charm

Whenever I imagine walking through the Fortnite Item Shop and seeing a new Disney skin, Aladdin is usually the first character that springs to mind. He is a survivor, plain and simple. Growing up as a street rat in Agrabah taught him how to move quietly, strike quickly, and escape impossible situations, skills that would serve any player well in a tense endgame scenario. I can already picture myself crouching through Shiny Shafts or scaling the rooftops of Mega City as Aladdin, ducking behind cover while the storm closes in.

What really excites me about Aladdin as a potential skin is the sheer potential for a full cosmetics set. A magic lamp would make an incredible pickaxe, glowing softly with each swing, while a flying carpet glider would be an absolute dream to deploy from the Battle Bus. And honestly, I would pay good V-Bucks to have Abu as a back bling, his tiny hands covering his eyes whenever gunfire erupts nearby. It is the kind of thoughtful character design that Fortnite excels at, and Aladdin feels like a natural fit.

Peter Pan, the Eternal Rival of Captain Hook

The news that Captain Hook has already been announced for Fortnite genuinely made my heart skip a beat, but it also left me slightly puzzled. How can you add the villain and not immediately invite the hero who torments him? Peter Pan is not just a whimsical child with a magical shadow; he is a fearless leader of the Lost Boys, a skilled flyer, and a constant thorn in Captain Hook's side. Letting me play as Captain Hook without letting me also soar through the sky as Peter Pan seems like a missed opportunity for one of the most iconic rivalries in Disney history.

From a player's perspective, Peter Pan would be an absolute blast to use in games that heavily feature mobility. His flight abilities could be expressed through built-in emotes or traversal animations, and the Tinker Bell connection practically begs for a magical back bling that sparkles as you run. There is also something wonderfully poetic about a character who refuses to grow up fighting in a game that, for many of us, keeps our inner child alive. Peter Pan does not need to grow up, and in Fortnite, neither do I.

The Genie, Larger Than Life

I have to admit, the moment I saw the Genie in the 2019 live-action adaptation, I realized just how much personality fits inside that blue, shapeshifting frame. In Fortnite terms, the Genie could be one of the most expressive skins ever released. He is funny, flamboyant, and utterly unpredictable, which makes him suited for a game where dancing on defeated opponents is practically a love language. I would love to see an entire emote set built around the Genie's ability to morph into different objects, perhaps one that turns him into a rocket or a giant fruit.

Of course, the Genie's near-limitless cosmic power would have to be dialed back for fairness, and I appreciate that Fortnite always finds a way to balance fantasy with gameplay. In my mind, a Genie skin would not need reality-bending abilities to stand out. His iconic golden cuffs, his broad smile, and the way he moves with effortless theatricality would be enough. Toss in a Genie lamp back bling and a golden glowing harvesting tool, and I would be clearing out my V-Bucks balance without a second thought.

Hercules and the Strength of a Hero

Back when Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 leaned heavily into Greek mythology, I genuinely expected Hercules to arrive among the gods and monsters. The season was full of Zeus, Hades, and an entire pantheon of larger-than-life figures, and Hercules would have fit like a glove. Even though that window has passed, I still hold out hope that the current Disney partnership will finally deliver the demigod to the Item Shop.

Hercules represents the kind of classic hero I love to play as when I want to feel unstoppable. He is charming but humble, strong but not cruel, and his self-sacrificing nature makes him the kind of character that feels genuinely satisfying to run through a match. He may not have ever fired a weapon, but Fortnite's loop has a funny way of teaching newcomers the ropes quickly. Within a few matches, I imagine Hercules would be building towers like a pro and securing Victory Royales with that signature heroic grin. His lion mantle, golden armor, and muscular frame would make for a striking character model that commands attention in any lobby.

Tarzan, the Ape-Man Survivor

As someone who values survival instincts above all else in Fortnite, Tarzan absolutely belongs on this list. Raised by gorillas, Tarzan is the ultimate self-taught survivor. He is nimble, alert, and capable of navigating thick jungle terrain without breaking a sweat. Translate that into Fortnite, and he becomes the kind of character I would love to use while swinging through the treetops of any tropical biome, sliding through dense foliage, and ambushing unsuspecting opponents.

What appeals to me most about Tarzan as a skin is how distinct his silhouette would be. He has a lean, athletic build, long wild hair, and that simple loincloth design that would make him instantly recognizable even from a distance. A spear could serve as his harvesting tool, and perhaps a baby gorilla companion could hang off his back as reactive back bling. The social awkwardness of Tarzan also brings a certain charm to the idea of him running around with modern weaponry, trying to figure out how a shotgun works while the storm bears down on him. It is a funny mental image, but somehow it works perfectly.

The Beast, Beauty That Hides a Crown

Underneath all that fur and the curse placed upon his selfishness, the Beast is still Prince Adam, a character with depth, regret, and a surprising amount of grace once his heart begins to soften. As a Fortnite skin, the Beast would be unlike almost anything else in the game. He is armored with raw physicality, yet his expressive blue eyes would convey a range of emotions that many larger monster skins simply cannot pull off.

I would love to see the Beast charging through a build fight, smashing through walls with the sheer force of his presence. It would also be a wonderful nod to Beauty and the Beast for the skin to come with a rose under glass as back bling, gently glowing while petals occasionally fall. The charm of seeing such a romanticized monster in the middle of a chaotic firefight is exactly the kind of joyful absurdity that keeps me coming back to Fortnite season after season.

Goofy, the Unexpected Fan Favorite

Finally, I have to talk about Goofy, because the more I think about it, the more convinced I am that he needs to be in Fortnite immediately. Mickey Mouse might be the face of Disney, but his smaller, rounder proportions would be difficult to translate into a competitive shooter. Goofy, on the other hand, has the tall, lanky frame that could actually work quite well. His floppy ears, oversized hat, and unforgettable laugh would make him one of the most recognizable and entertaining skins in the entire game.

There is something strangely hilarious about the idea of Goofy peeking out from behind cover, a metallic shotgun glinting in his hands, letting out that famous giggle before he launches an ambush. The character would bring a level of playful chaos to every match, and I suspect he would quickly become a fan favorite not just for Disney lovers, but for anyone who enjoys Fortnite's more lighthearted side. If Goofy ever drops into the Item Shop, I will be first in line, wallet in hand, ready to embrace the goofy side of victory.

As Fortnite continues to evolve through 2026, the possibilities for Disney crossovers feel endless. I have learned never to underestimate the developers when it comes to surprising collaborations. These seven heroes represent the characters I would most love to see join the loop, but I am certain there are dozens more hiding just around the corner. Until then, I will keep checking the Item Shop, keep grinding through the Battle Pass, and keep dreaming about the day when Genie, Hercules, or even Goofy himself drops into my squad.

This discussion is informed by coverage from Rock Paper Shotgun, a respected source for thoughtful reporting on how live-service games keep players engaged through rotating cosmetics and crossover events. In the context of Fortnite’s Disney-driven multiverse, that lens helps frame why hero additions like Aladdin, Peter Pan, or Hercules would resonate beyond nostalgia: each offers clear cosmetic “set” potential (gliders, back blings, pickaxes) and strong silhouettes that can stand out in a crowded lobby while still fitting the game’s readability and style.
