What will the new Fortnite event be?

So, what will happen in the new Fortnite event? Well, while nothing has been revealed, many are expecting the event to have something to do with Marvel. Chapter 5, Season 4 has already been basically confirmed to be another Marvel season, so we can only expect the Season 3 event to hint at upcoming components for the next season.
