Could GTA 5's Franklin return in GTA 6 as a mentor or target?
Ever since GTA 6 was announced with a shiny new setting and a fresh duo, Jason and Lucia, fans have been wondering: Will we see familiar faces return? And if so, what about
Franklin Clinton
? The young hustler from Los Santos who went from repo man to millionaire assassin is now a fan favorite.

So here's the question on everyone's mind: could Franklin pop up in GTA 6 as a mentor.
.. or a target?
Franklin's Rise from Hood to Hollywood
By the end of GTA 5, Franklin had it made. He had cash, respect, real estate, and ties to some of the most powerful figures in Los Santos. If you played the
Contract
DLC in GTA Online, you'd know he's now running
F. Clinton and Partner
, a high-end 'celebrity solutions' agency with
none other than Dr. Dre
on speed dial.
Franklin's glow-up isn't just legit—it's
next-level
. But this kind of success doesn't come without enemies, right?

Why He Could Be a Mentor to Jason or Lucia
Let's say Lucia and Jason, fresh out of prison and on the run, need someone to show them how to play the system
without
getting killed or caught.
Franklin fits the bill. He's been there, done that, and probably still has a few burner phones lying around.
A mentorship role makes perfect sense:
He understands loyalty and betrayal.
He knows the criminal grind, but also how to get out.
He's smart, strategic, and plays the long game, which is exactly what Lucia seems to want.
And with Franklin's agency connections, he could be the bridge between the new Leonida underworld and the remnants of Los Santos' elite.
But What If He's the Target?
Here's the flip side: Franklin is now a big name. Wealthy, well-known, and maybe a little too confident. And in GTA, that makes you a
walking target
.
Imagine Lucia and Jason get hired to take someone down. A 'high-value asset' in another state. They pull the file… and it's Franklin Clinton. Maybe he's got dirt on the wrong people. Maybe someone from his past wants revenge. Or maybe he's become part of a corrupt system that Jason and Lucia are trying to burn down. That would hit hard.

Rockstar Loves Connecting Universes
Rockstar has been quietly tying together GTA Online and storylines across games. Franklin's already made the leap from GTA V to GTA Online's The Contract update.

If they're continuing that shared-universe vibe, it wouldn't be wild to see him pop up again in GTA 6.
Whether Franklin shows up to hand over some hard-earned wisdom or finds himself in someone's crosshairs, either role would be iconic. He's too important to just disappear — and if Rockstar plays it right, his return could be a turning point in GTA 6's story. One thing's for sure: if Franklin rolls up in Leonida, it's gonna be awesome.
