Brett Gipson Lands 2 Major Game Roles in GTA 6 and Marvel's Wolverine

Q: One actor voices a legendary villain and a total mystery. Which of his 2026 roles will truly define his video game legacy?

Brett Gipson’s role as Sabretooth in *Marvel’s Wolverine* is far more likely to define his video game legacy. The key reason is visibility and weight within the story. Sabretooth is not just a recognizable Marvel villain; he is one of Wolverine’s most important adversaries, deeply tied to Logan’s mythology. Gipson is listed in a lead role, and Insomniac’s *Marvel’s Wolverine* is being positioned as a major, mature, story-driven PS5 exclusive and potentially the start of a larger X-Men game arc. That gives his performance a strong chance to become a signature character turn. By contrast, his *Grand Theft Auto 6* role as Ellis carries enormous commercial upside but much less clarity. Rockstar’s game may well become the biggest entertainment launch in history, with analysts projecting massive sales and revenue, but Ellis is only described so far as a supporting character. Because Rockstar has revealed almost nothing about the part, it is impossible to judge whether Ellis is a memorable story figure or simply one piece of a huge ensemble. That said, *GTA 6* remains the wildcard. If Ellis turns out to be central to Lucia and Jason’s story, Gipson could gain broader mainstream exposure there because of the game’s scale. But based on what is currently known, Sabretooth offers the clearer path to a defining performance: iconic character, lead billing, and a role built to showcase voice acting in a character-driven action game.
