GTA 5 actors pitch GTA 6 story DLC featuring Trevor, Michael & Franklin

As Rockstar Games prepares for the 2026 release of GTA 6, the favorite three from GTA 5, Trevor, Michael, and Franklin are not finished yet. The stars of the legendary characters announced their concept of a special story DLC that could see them return for an ultimate heist. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Now, they are calling on fans to campaign for their comeback. GTA 5 stars demand one final heist in GTA 6 DLC In a June 15 Comic Con Brussels panel, Steven Ogg (Trevor), Ned Luke (Michael), and Shawn Fonteno (Franklin) had their say about playing in the Grand Theft Auto world again. When asked by a fan if they would be in GTA 6, the three actors replied in a very positive manner, suggesting a possible story DLC of one final job. "That would be great," replied Luke, to which Fonteno chimed, "What you call it, 'The Final Score'?" The concept continued to develop onstage, with Luke proposing the title The Final Score. The actors grinned at the prospect of getting together again for one final heist in a different city, Vice City, the location for GTA 6. Fonteno even called on fans to act: "So y'all campaign. One last score." GTA 5: Steven Ogg, Shawn Fonteno & Ned Luke Q&A Session | Comic Con Brussels | 11-05-2025 What it might portend for GTA 6 and Rockstar's intentions As nice as the idea is for dedicated fans, Rockstar Games itself has not announced anything regarding story expansions for GTA 6. In contrast to GTA 4, which had several story DLCs, GTA 5 notoriously abandoned its single-player DLC efforts in favor of GTA Online updates. With GTA 6 expected to evolve both single-player and online experiences, the return of Trevor, Michael, and Franklin in a post-launch DLC could offer nostalgic value while bridging the old and new generations of players. Whether Rockstar will consider this proposal remains to be seen, but the actors' public appeal is already generating buzz online. The potential return of GTA 5's trio in GTA 6 as a part of a dedicated story DLC has everyone expecting a proper send-off. If Rockstar hears the mounting pressure, "The Final Score" might return as one of the most hyped expansions in the franchise's history. Until that happens, it's up to the fans to campaign and get their voice heard. Also Read:

Elio review: Pixar's new offering is sweet and funny but lacks spark

Pixar's latest outing, 'Elio', is a heartwarming and visually rich journey that feels both contemporary and comfortably familiar. Voiced by Yonas Kibreab, the titular Elio is a daydreaming, orphaned misfit who ends up becoming Earth's accidental ambassador in a colourful alien world. The result is a film that's sweet, funny, and family-friendly, but also one that lacks the spark of Pixar's finest by Adrian Molina with co-directors Madeline Sharafian and Domee Shi, 'Elio' is packed with warmth and wonder, but much of it stays on the surface. The film's premise revolves around an imaginative child being mistaken for someone important in an otherworldly setting. This setting leans heavily into Pixar's well-worn 'misunderstood kid meets magical world' template. It is almost like 'Inside Out' meets 'Lilo & Stitch', but without the same emotional punch or layered film begins grounded in real-world science and emotional resonance, but soon the narrative slips into chaotic territory - cloning, galactic politics, and a villainous 'Blood Emperor' (voiced by Brad Garrett) whose Marvel-like menace feels Elio's friendship with the Emperor's insecure son Glordon (Remy Edgerly) offers the film's sweetest emotional thread, it too gets a bit lost in the chaos. Zoe Saldana brings steady warmth as Elio's aunt, but many alien characters remain forgettable and overly the premise holds promise, the writing doesn't quite rise to the occasion several times. The emotional beats feel undercooked, especially when compared to the nuanced storytelling Pixar is known for. The characters or ideas are not given enough space to breath before we transition from one place to another. The film introduces layered themes like loss, loneliness, identity but often abandons them in favour of rapid-fire plot developments and quirky distractions. Glordon's arc and the potential father-son commentary get drowned in the visual noise. It's a script that feels like it's trying to juggle too many ideas, resulting in a finale that's flashier than is certainly a step up from some of Disney's recent misfires. Its retro-Disney vibes, sincere message, and humour make it engaging for kids and comforting for parents. But for those expecting a bold new Pixar frontier, this cosmic tale feels just a little too safe and is now out in theatres.3 out of 5 stars to Elio.
