It seems you can finally find out what’cha gonna do when they come for you. That’s right, it looks like Will Smith's character from Bad Boys, Mike Lowry, will be coming for you in Fortnite. The news comes from reliable Fortnite source, HYPEX, who shared images of the character and mentioned that it could possibly drop tomorrow, August 29.
HYPEX had shared images of the character last week, but no release date was mentioned. According to them, the Item Show announcement text reads, “The tough-talking detective who's ready for anything. When the streets get rough you’ll want Mike at your back. Check out Mike Lowrey in the Item Shop now!”
Fortnite’s Mike Lowry looks like a pretty good take on the Bad Boys character. He’s got the iconic French beard and earring stud on the left earlobe, along with the grey sweater-shirt and black pants worn by Lowry in the movies. As for the back bling, he sports what looks like an ammo bag on his back, along with an SMG strapped to it and handcuffs dangling down the side. The character model is also packing two pistols; one holstered under his left arm, and one on his lower back.

Mike Lowry is just one of many iconic movie characters that Epic Games has been tossing into Fortnite either as a part of movie promotion deals, or just for the hell of it. As far as I know, there’s no new Bad Boys movie coming out anytime soon, so this one looks like it falls under the latter category.
Expectedly, Marvel’s Shang-Chi could be the next major movie collaboration deal for Fortnite. HYPEX revealed that a Shang-Chi skin will be added to the game on September 2. Another Fortnite source, Shiina revealed that files named ‘SeesawSea’ and ‘SeeSawFuzzy’ which most likely refer to The Suicide Squad's King Shark and Weasel respectively were found via a datamine.
And to make things even more weird, HYPEX earlier revealed that Morty would also be coming to the game, wearing the mech suit similar to what Snowball used in the Lawnmower Dog episode. His back bling is a backpack with a Meseeks box in it, whilst his pickaxe is the snake that he tried to send into space in Rattlestar Ricklactica.
