You might be wondering why Rockstar, with its massive following of 21 million, would promote a smaller British film. And who exactly is Danny Dyer? Let\\'s dive in and clarify.

Who is Danny Dyer?

Daniel John Dyer, known as Danny Dyer, hails from East London and is a household name in the UK. As Rockstar\\'s tweet suggests, he\\'s an \\\"absolute legend.\\\" For those unfamiliar with British slang, Urban Dictionary defines a legend as:

\\\"A person who embodies the pinnacle of all the important social aspects. Any person who is funny, reckless, original and sensitive in the right measures is likely to be nominated a legend by his associates. A person to whose persona you aspire.\\\"

Dyer\\'s career kicked off in 1993, and he\\'s renowned for portraying tough, working-class characters, a reflection of his own outspoken nature on social and political issues. His \\\"tough uncle\\\" persona shines through in public advice like his 2010 suggestion to a Zoo magazine reader to go \\\"on a rampage [drinking session] with the boys\\\" after a breakup.

Dyer\\'s social media presence is equally entertaining, as seen in this memorable tweet:

Roll on bonfire night..........it\\'s gonna get strapped to a great big massive fuck off Rocket so it can join the other Furbys in the sky...

How is Danny Dyer Connected to Rockstar?

If you\\'re a Grand Theft Auto fan but new to Danny Dyer, you\\'ve likely heard his voice as Kent Paul in GTA: Vice City, where he managed the Scottish rock band Love Fist. He reprised this role in GTA: San Andreas, managing the Gurning Chimps and later producing for rapper Madd Dogg.

Dyer\\'s deeper connection to Rockstar comes from his starring role in the 2004 film \\\"The Football Factory,\\\" directed by Nick Love and produced by Rockstar Games. This film delves into the world of football hooliganism, heavy drinking, and drug use, showcasing a gritty British humor.

\\\"Marching Powder,\\\" the new film hitting UK and Irish cinemas this week, reunites Dyer with Love. Although not a sequel to \\\"The Football Factory,\\\" it echoes similar themes. Despite Rockstar\\'s X post, the studio has no direct involvement in \\\"Marching Powder.\\\" The tweet is likely a nod to their previous collaboration with Dyer and Love.

Is Vice City\\'s Kent Paul Returning for GTA 6?

Short answer: we don\\'t know. And this social media post about \\\"Marching Powder\\\" has no bearing on GTA 6. But let\\'s entertain the possibility of Kent Paul making a comeback.

It\\'s crucial to understand that GTA spans two distinct universes: the 3D era (PS2 and PSP games) and the HD era (GTA 4 onwards). These are separate story arcs, which is why GTA 5\\'s Los Santos differs from San Andreas\\' version, and why characters from the 3D era aren\\'t directly mentioned in the HD era games.

However, there are connections between the eras. CJ\\'s Grove Street appears in GTA 5, and several gangs from the 3D universe reappear in the HD universe, including the Ballas. The character Lazlo also crosses over between the two universes. Interestingly, Kent Paul has a star on the Vinewood Walk of Fame in GTA 5.

Could Kent Paul return in GTA 6? It\\'s possible, but the X post about \\\"Marching Powder\\\" doesn\\'t hint at any such plans. For now, fans will have to wait and see what Rockstar has in store.

If you follow Rockstar Games on X (the Everything App formerly known as Twitter), you might have been taken aback or puzzled when you saw the GTA studio sharing a post about the film "Marching Powder" and its star, Danny Dyer.
