In an interview with [URL='https://collider.com/fornite-movie-epic-games-donald-mustard-comments/']Collider[/URL], Mustard said the company was not "actively working on" a Fortnite movie at the moment, but then explained that a future adaptation is still a possibility: "To me, I wanna do stuff that always just feels authentic and is a great story," he said.

Mustard then added that Epic Games has a relationship with production company AGBO via investment, suggesting an adaptation might happen via that connection one day. But he also noted that given Fortnite's success, he wouldn't exactly have to work hard to get one greenlit. "Oh yeah, a Fortnite movie gets greenlit by any studio in a second.
