DC looks set to take the Fortnite reigns back from Marvel, as Jason Momoa adds fuel to the Aquaman rumors.

Fortnite staged its biggest live in-game event this week as Midas's Device was finally activated. It and the hatches rose up out of the ground and launched an attack on Fortnite's storm. After laying siege to it twice, players watching live were transported away from the map and then back, only to discover the storm had been turned to water.

There have been rumors that the theme for the upcoming Season 3 would be aqua-based ever since PlayStation accidentally leaked an image a little early. The image showed Fortnite's Battle Bus skimming across the surface of the water. Turns out that the image was accurate as the surface of the water-storm is high in the sky.

As for the SpongeBob SquarePants prediction, it seems Fortnite will not be transported to Bikini Bottom any time soon, nor vice versa. Instead, it seems almost nailed on at this point that Aquaman will be the guest star of Chapter 2: Season 3. After the live event came to an end on Monday, a teaser was posted featuring what looked like part of a trident. Shortly after, a second teaser revealed it to be exactly that.

Not just any old trident, but what appears to be an exact replica of the trident Aquaman wields during the 2018 outing of the DC hero on the big screen. That suggests it will be Jason Momoa's version of the hero coming to Fortnite, and the actor has leaned into the assumption. Momoa posted a screenshot of the Fortnite trident on his Instagram story, tagging the game's Insta page in the process.

Resident superheroes might well be the theme going forward for Fortnite. The start of Season 2 marked Deadpool's Fortnite debut and the anti-hero has been a feature ever since, bringing items, skins, and challenges to the island. The assumption is that Deadpool's time in Fortnite is now over. Hard to imagine a world in which a mainstream DC character can co-exist with a Marvel one. Although, if there are Aquaman skins to be had, players can make that dream team a reality any time they like.
