Preliminary information
Before actually pointing you out how to unlock Will Smith in Bad Boys version on Fortnite, I think it may interest you to better understand the context in which the skin of the well-known actor landed within the title of Epic Games.
Well, I don't think Will Smith needs too many introductions: he is a actor known for the sitcom "Willy, the Prince of Bel-Air" (first aired in the USA in 1990) and for films such as "Independence Day" (1996), "Men in Black" (1997), "I, Robot "(2004)," I am legend "(2007)," Suicide Squad "(2022)," Bright "(2022)," Aladdin "(2022) and" Gemini Man "(2022), just to name some of the his best known works. In addition to the role of actor and film producer, Smith is also a rapper. In short, we are talking about a particularly well-known figure in the entertainment world.
As already mentioned, in Fortnite the skin of the actor has not been introduced directly, but that of his character Mike Lowrey, protagonist of the film saga Bad Boys, which has three films: “Bad Boys” (1995), “Bad Boys II” (2003) and “Bad Boys for Life” (2022). The latter, which sees Will Smith joining his trusted colleague Martin Lawrence, proved to be a success, reviving the saga after several years.
Put simply, as always happens when it comes to Fortnite, the period in which Will Smith (or Mike Lowrey, if you prefer) became a skin of the Epic Games title seems to be anything but random, also considered the fact that in 2022 the actor is at the center of films such as "A Winning Family - King Richard" e “Fast & Loose” (available on Netflix).
Could the legendary protagonist of "Bad Boys" be missing in one of Fortnite's richest seasons? Obviously not and in fact Mike Lowrey's skin landed in the title of Epic Games during the Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2 (expiring on 12 September 2022).
