Thanos invades Fortnite because ‘Infinity War’ directors are big fans

Avengers: Infinity War is the biggest movie in the world right now, and it is teaming up with Fortnite, which is one of the biggest games around, to bring the maniacal villain Thanos into the battle royale shooter. But we’re lucky we got the movie at all — let alone this collaboration — because Infinity War directors Joe and Anthony Russo are huge Fortnite fans and would play it during post-production of the crossover Marvel movie.

Thanos is joining Fortnite for the Infinity Gauntlet Limited Time Mashup mode. Like in the standard battle royale game, 100 players will jump onto the map and fight until only one is left standing. But this mode has something of a super weapon in the form of the powerful Infinity Gauntlet. If you find that golden armored glove, you will transform into Thanos and gain his powers.
