Fortnite leaks concerning a point of interest and abilities based on Black Panther appear to indicate the Marvel hero will arrive as a skin in Chapter 2 Season 4.

Fortnite data miner HYPEX uncovered files in the game referring to a "PantherMonument" Thursday, following the release of Season 4. HYPEX claims the monument will be placed along the road west of Misty Meadows.

Further data mining revealed sound effects and icons for two Black Panther abilities: Kinetic Absorption and Whirlwind Blast. As many of the Marvel skins already released in Season 4 bear similar abilities, it appears increasingly likely Black Panther will join the cast at some point this season.

This is the second leak for a possible Marvel skin as Spier-Man is apparently coming to Fortnite as well.

Epic Games has not released a comprehensive list of Marvel heroes and villains it plans to add to Fortnite in Season 4, and Black Panther has not appeared in promotional material to date. The skin itself has yet to turn up in Fortnite's files.
