GTA VI: 10 Beloved Characters We Want To See Return

3. Carl Johnson

The fact Carl Johnson hasn't appeared in any GTA games since San Andreas is shocking. Franklin Clinton did at times feel like an update of CJ in GTA V, but it'd be nice to see Johnson's grand plans to escape the hood life and make a name for himself in the big time return in GTA VI.

The most customisable GTA protagonist to date, players could put their own stamp on CJ by making him a muscle-bound freak who practically lived in the gym or an overweight slob who made 10 trips to Well Stacked Pizza each day. That kind of freedom is much-needed come VI, although it would be great just to see any Carl Johnson in the game.

Having conquered San Andreas, maybe CJ would turn his attention to Vice City and seek the opportunity to expand his empire. In a cool twist, why not make Johnson the primary antagonist in VI, forcing those who enjoyed playing as Carl to take him down?
