GTA 5s Iconic Protagonists Want to Return for GTA 6 Story DLC: Michael De Santa, Franklin Clinton, and Trevor Phillips
The Grand Theft Auto series has always been a staple in the gaming industry, known for its iconic characters and memorable storylines. The three main protagonists of Grand Theft Auto 5, Michael De Santa, Franklin Clinton, and Trevor Phillips, have become fan favorites and have left a lasting impression on players. The actors who portray these characters, Ned Luke, Shawn Fonteno, and Steven Ogg, have all expressed their desire to return in the next installment of the series, Grand Theft Auto 6. During a recent Comic Con Panel, the trio was asked about their thoughts on returning in a potential Grand Theft Auto 6 DLC, and they all agreed that it would be "great." They even joked that fans should campaign for Rockstar to give them one "final score" in the game. While the majority of the game's protagonists and side characters have returned in various Grand Theft Auto Online updates, many fans are still eager to see the trio make a return in GTA 6. The three main characters have become so iconic that it's rare for a protagonist to make a prominent return in a follow-up entry, but their return would undoubtedly be a welcome addition to the game. The gaming world will know Ned Luke, Shawn Fonteno, and Steven Ogg for their roles in Grand Theft Auto 5, but all three have also had successful acting careers outside of video games. Ogg has appeared in Better Call Saul, The Walking Dead, Snowpiercer, and more, while Luke has featured in Law & Order, Boardwalk Empire, NYPD Blue, and more. Despite their busy schedules, the trio appears to be eager to return to their iconic GTA characters. In the years after the release of Grand Theft Auto 5, there was speculation that Steven Ogg was attempting to distance himself from the character of Trevor Phillips. However, Ogg put those rumors to rest and clarified that he does not hate his character and described Trevor as "awesome." He explained that he has no ill will toward the character, but does take umbrage at those who refer to him as Trevor instead of his real name, Steven. Out of the three main protagonists in Grand Theft Auto 5, Ned Luke is currently the only one not to feature a prominent role in Grand Theft Auto Online. Shawn Fonteno famously returned to his iconic character Franklin Clinton for GTA Online's The Contract update, while Steven Ogg has featured as Trevor Phillips multiple times in GTA Online in more minor appearances. Fans have long been requesting a special DLC dedicated to Michael De Santa, but with Grand Theft Auto 6 fast approaching, it looks like there might be a better chance of the character returning in the next game. Overall, it's clear that the trio of Michael De Santa, Franklin Clinton, and Trevor Phillips is a fan-favorite in the Grand Theft Auto series. With their recent statements about returning in GTA 6, it's likely that we'll see them back in action in the next installment of the game.
