Fortnite Adds Disney Villains Maleficent and Captain Hook

Fortnite players have spent years fighting alien conquerors, Marvel supervillains, and dark lords from a galaxy far, far away. Now, a different kind of evil is taking over the island. Epic Games has officially released its highly anticipated Disney Villains cosmetic collection in the Item Shop. It is a massive moment for the battle royale. Just in time for the spooky season, players can now terrorize their opponents as some of the most iconic animated antagonists in cinema history, headlining the Fortnitemares 2026 event.

The Mistress of All Evil Arrives

The stars of this new wave are Maleficent and Captain Hook. These are not just basic character models. They are fully reactive skins that change dynamically as you play the match. Epic Games clearly put a lot of care into capturing their classic animated looks while making them feel right at home in Fortnite’s art style.

Let’s look at Maleficent first. The legendary villain looks incredibly imposing on the battlefield. Her outfit features her signature towering horns and heavy, flowing black robes. What makes her skin special is its reactivity. As you gather eliminations or take damage during a match, green flames flare up around her collar and eyes, mimicking her iconic dark magic. Her bundle includes several custom items:

• Diaval Back Bling: Her loyal raven companion, who perches on your shoulder and reacts to your movements.
• Maleficent’s Staff Pickaxe: A golden harvesting tool that glows with green energy whenever you smash structures.
• The Spinning Wheel Emote: A traversal emote where Maleficent summons her cursed spinning wheel.

A Pirate’s Life in the Loop

Then there is Captain Hook. Peter Pan’s hot-tempered rival looks like he stepped straight out of the 1953 animated classic. He sports his elegant red coat, wide-brimmed feathered hat, and his sharp silver hook. Hook’s reactivity is a bit more playful than Maleficent’s. Every time you open a chest or eliminate a rival, his hook gleams brightly, and players might hear a faint, nerve-wracking ticking sound. The infamous crocodile is never too far away in spirit.

His gear set is equally detailed. Hook comes with a miniature version of the Jolly Roger pirate ship as a glider. His trusty rapier serves as a pickaxe, allowing players to duel enemies with pirate flair. He also features a unique emote where he looks around frantically, checking his pockets for a pocket watch while anticipating the crocodile’s arrival.

LEGO Styles and Shop Pricing

Naturally, both characters come with fully realized LEGO styles. Epic Games has made sure that almost every major crossover skin is immediately playable in the LEGO Fortnite survival mode. The blocky versions of Maleficent and Hook are surprisingly detailed. Hook’s tiny LEGO mustache is a highlight, and Maleficent’s horns translate perfectly to the plastic minifigure aesthetic.

How much will these cost you? As is typical for major crossovers, Epic offers these items both individually and in discounted bundles:

• Individual Skins: 1,500 V-Bucks each (includes the back bling).
• Gear Bundles: 800 to 1,200 V-Bucks for pickaxes and gliders.
• The Disney Villains Bundle: 2,800 V-Bucks, which packs both characters, their gear, and emotes together for a lower total price.

This crossover is part of a much larger blueprint. Disney recently made a massive $1.5 billion investment in Epic Games, promising an entire persistent universe connected to Fortnite. While we have seen endless Star Wars and Marvel collaborations, classic Disney animation has been relatively rare until now. This villains drop marks a significant shift, proving that the vault is officially open. It makes perfect sense to start with the bad guys for the Halloween season.

The community’s response has been instant and hilarious. Social media is already flooded with clips of Maleficent doing modern lobby dances. It is bizarre, but that is the exact charm of Fortnite. The collection is available in the Item Shop right now, but they won’t stay forever. Grab them before they rotate out at the end of the Fortnitemares event.
