Chris Hemsworth is coming to Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8

The Chris Hemsworth Fortnite leaks are still fresh in the memory of many fans. Various data miners had shared images of a character outfit from the game files that resembled Tyler Rake.

For those unaware, Rake was the character played by Hemsworth in the popular Netflix movie Extraction, and he was supposed to make his way to the battle royale game.

Unfortunately, the hype around the Fortnite Extraction collaboration died with the arrival of Chapter 2 Season 8. Some players had forgotten entirely that Chris Hemsworth is coming to the game, but a Netflix trailer has almost confirmed his arrival.

The platform recently released a trailer for the sequel of the popular mercenary movie. This means Extraction 2 will come out soon, and what better way to promote it than introducing the main character in a game played by millions across the globe.
