Uhh, well here’s a weird thing that’s happening tonight.Epic Games has apparently partnered with Warner Bros. Pictures to debut the latest trailer for Christopher Nolan’s upcoming film,Tenet. The odd thing is that the trailer is premiering entirely withinÂFortnite. Yes,ÂFortnitehas the exclusive rights to show us a new trailer for a Chris Nolan movie before anyone else. The trailer is said to begin appearing tonight starting at 8:00pm EST on Party Royal’s Big Screen. TheTenettrailer will then play again at the top of every hour following its initial debut.
Perhaps we shouldn’t be shocked to see Warner Bros. teaming up withÂFortnitein this manner considering just how much of a cultural hub the game has become in recent years. Just a few weeks back,Fortnitetook part in a newvirtual Travis Scott concertwhich was viewed by nearly 30 million people around the globe. In past years, the game has also taken part in other major cultural events associated with properties likeAvengers: EndgameÂandStar Wars alongside many others.
Still, it’s a bit bizarre to see a Nolan film of all things crossing over withÂFortnite. While often alluring to a wide audience, Nolan’s movies (especially outside of the Batman trilogy) seem to be the last thing you’d ever expect to show up in a game as loud, colorful, and silly asFortnite. The audience of those looking forward toTenetcompared to those who routinely playÂFortnitecouldn’t seem to be more of the opposite, at least at first glance. Despite this line of thinking though, I’m sure millions will rush to the Big Screen tonight to check this trailer out in-game.
Anyway, if you don’t end up catching theÂTenettrailer tonight viaÂFortnite, it should be online tomorrow for everyone to view in standard fashion. As of now, the movie is still set to release on July 27, 2025, despite the fact that movie theaters around the world have largely been shuttered due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Whenever theaters do officially re-open though,ÂTenetis said to be releasing in this manner rather than opting to do a widespread digital launch, something that other movie studios have chosen to do in recent months.
