And so, in lieu of a Red Dead Redemption movie, which he\u2019d very much love to star in if the opportunity ever came his way, Bowser actor Jack Black would love to star in Red Dead Redemption 3. And it turns out there\u2019s a character called Jack Black he\u2019d love to play.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">&#8220;Red Dead Redemption 2 takes place around the turn of the century, right?&#8221; Black told Polygon while promoting The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. &#8220;There was a character around that time named Jack Black, who wrote an autobiography called You Can&#8217;t Win. I would kinda like to play Jack Black in Red Dead Redemption 3.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">1926\u2019s You Can&#8217;t Win is the memoir of Jack Black, a professional burglar, safe-cracker, and hobo operating in the early 20th-century American West and Canada. It chronicles his life of crime, addiction, and prison \u2014 perfect fodder for a memorable Red Dead Redemption character.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">But will the current Jack Black get the chance to play the 1920s Jack Black in Red Dead Redemption 3? People associated with the series seem convinced Rockstar will one day make the sequel. Indeed, late last year, Rockstar Games co-founder and former lead writer Dan Houser said Red Dead Redemption 3 \u201cwill probably happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">And in 2023, Roger Clark, who played Arthur Morgan, the protagonist of Red Dead Redemption 2, said he was \u201ccertain\u201d fans will see Red Dead Redemption 3 \u201cone day,\u201d but qualified that statement by saying he had no idea when that would be.<\/p>\n<p><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">Every IGN Rockstar Game Review Ever<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-2021719738 image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9 jsx-2605834259 jsx-2338608387 hover-opacity\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/jack-black-doubts-rockstar-will-ever-greenlight-a-red-dead-redemption-movie-so-he-has-an-idea-for-the-perfect-character-hed-play-in-red-dead-redemption-3.gif\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"><span class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button button--primary jsx-3381835873 jsx-4266531355 row-pagination-button next contained centered round large\" data-cy=\"paginate next\" title=\"Open Slideshow\"><span class=\"ign-icon right-chevron jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"right-chevron\"><\/span><\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">In a subsequent interview with IGN, Clark expanded on his thoughts: \u201cYeah, that got really picked up! I would have thought that was obvious though. Wouldn\u2019t you? And it\u2019s not like I have any insider information whatsoever, but of course there\u2019s going to be another Red Dead. It sold over 60 million copies!\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">He continued: \u201cStrauss Zelnick, the CEO of Take-Two said it himself. He said GTA and Red Dead are prominent franchises for Rockstar Games and that they will be returning to them in the future. So there\u2019s no doubt there will be another Red Dead. But if Arthur Morgan will be involved? I highly doubt it, to be honest. And I think it\u2019s going to be quite some time before we even see a snifter of anything new Red Dead related. I have no idea how it would pan out, but I wouldn\u2019t bet on Arthur being a part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Jack Black namechecked Red Dead Redemption 3 because he doubts a Red Dead Redemption film will ever get made, which he said was &#8220;a shame, because of all the video games out there, theirs are the most cinematic.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span data-cy=\"poll-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<section class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\"><\/section>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Photo by: Todd Owyoung\/NBC via Getty Images.<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Wesley is Director, News at IGN.
