Marvel's Wolverine Actor Confirms Role in GTA 6
Brett Gipson, known for his role as Sabretooth in Marvel's Wolverine, has confirmed he will be appearing in Grand Theft Auto VI. According to his updated resume, Gipson will portray a character named Ellis. However, no further details about his role have been officially released. It's unclear how significant his character's role will be in the game. Notably, there's no indication that Ellis has appeared in any of the trailers or screenshots released so far.
The focus of GTA 6 has largely been on its two main protagonists, Jason and Lucia. Rockstar Games has, however, introduced a few supporting characters, such as Jason's friend Cal Hampton and his boss Brian Heder. These characters have been featured in promotional material, giving fans a glimpse into the game's expanding cast.
More Cast Members Revealed
Gipson isn't the only actor to confirm their involvement in GTA 6. Other actors, including Katie Burke, Ignacio Navarro, and Massi Furlan, have also shared that they are part of the game. Some of these actors are playing background characters or random NPCs, while others have not disclosed the specifics of their roles. It remains uncertain whether Rockstar has officially approved these disclosures, but it makes sense as the game's marketing campaign intensifies.
Performance capture for GTA 6 is likely complete or nearing completion as Rockstar continues to push toward the game's release. Pre-orders for the game will open later this week, and some fans speculate that a third trailer may be released at the same time. Earlier this week, Rockstar unveiled the official cover art for GTA 6, reinforcing the idea that the game is on track for its November release.
The Future of GTA Casting
Whether Rockstar will officially announce more casting details for GTA 6 remains to be seen. Fans have long speculated about the game's cast, with some believing they've identified actors for certain roles. However, no official confirmation has been made. In the past, Rockstar has kept casting information confidential until the game's release. This time, though, the company may be adopting a new strategy to generate buzz and anticipation.
Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled to release on November 19th for Xbox Series X|S and PS5.
