Rumors of a Fortnite movie have been bouncing around the internet for years, but Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney may have just dropped a hard truth that disappointed many hopeful fans.
In response to a now-deleted post on Twitter, Sweeney stated that the circulating rumors about a Fortnite film being pitched to multiple movie studios were simply “false.” While the post has since vanished, screenshots and fan reactions continue to fuel discussions across social platforms.
At first glance, the CEO’s brief response seems to shut down the idea of a Fortnite film altogether. However, his single-word reply—“false”—has ironically sparked more speculation than it ended. Was he denying the entire concept of a Fortnite movie? Or was he just refuting the claim that a studio had picked up the project?

Neither Sweeney nor Epic Games has released an official press statement clarifying his intent, leaving the gaming community in limbo. Some fans believe this is just standard PR playbook behavior—downplaying leaks until an official reveal is ready. Others are taking Sweeney’s word at face value and shelving their cinematic dreams for now.
Regardless, the continued chatter shows just how strong the appetite is for a Fortnite adaptation. With the game’s massive universe, evolving narrative arcs, and instantly recognizable characters, a film seems like a natural next step—eventually.
For now, it appears that the Battle Bus won’t be heading to Hollywood anytime soon. But in the Fortnite universe, surprises are always just around the corner.
