The highly anticipated trailer for GTA 6 provided a first insight into the story and characters of the new installment of the well-known video game series. However, some fans were not pleased that this time a woman takes center stage. Recently, the actor who played Michael, one of the protagonists of GTA 5, commented on this.
After the release of the trailer, which showed the new protagonist Lucia in action for the first time, there were some critical comments in the community. Apparently, some fans could not come to terms with seeing a woman as the main character in GTA this time.
Ned Luke, who portrayed Michael in GTA 5, responded in an interview with IGN on December 23, 2023, to the fans’ criticism and shared his opinion on the matter.
“There are a lot of clowns out there”
Ned Luke has kind words for Lucia and clearly tells the actress what he thinks about the people who criticize her as a protagonist:
“There are a lot of clowns here who say: ‘Rockstar is getting woke, they are yielding to the wokeness of the world.’ First of all, there have been other female protagonists in the past, but obviously not in a game as big as this one.” (Source: ign.com)
Ned Luke raves about how well Lucia shone as the new main character in the trailer. In his opinion, she is simply badass.
Above all, the very last scene, in which the two characters step through the door together to storm a store, really impressed him.
When will GTA 6 be released? So far, no exact release date for the new installment of the popular game series has been announced. It is only known that GTA 6 is expected to be released in 2025 for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
However, one fan claims to have already figured out when you can look forward to a second trailer:
