The hero of the firstRed Dead Redemption , John Marston , manifestly will make an appearance in the sequel . AlthoughRed Dead Redemption 2is being treated like a follow - up to the 2010 smash hit , the secret plan will technically be a prequel . Red Dead Redemption 2will take place years before the setting of the first biz . It ’ll explore the privileged workings of Dutch Van der Linde ’s gang , who was the primary antagonist of the first secret plan .
With the prequel mise en scene and the known involvement of John Marston in Dutch ’s gang it was assumed ( or at least hop ) by many fans that John would appear . Yet it was n’t until the most recenttrailer forRed Dead Redemption 2that John ’s appearance was confirmed . John appear in a blink - and - you’ll - misfire - it moment during the third trailer forRed Dead Redemption 2 , but the dear fibre will be involved in the level in some small fashion .

The untested John Marston come out around the 1:40 Saint Mark of the dawdler . In the very brief coup d’oeil , it looks like John has been captured by a rival gang . He is being used as leverage to " negotiate " with Dutch and his cronies . The updated graphics and the notably younger appearance of John do n’t make him forthwith recognizable . Yet the character in the trailer is almost unquestionably John Marston .
One of the delimit characteristics of John in the first game are his facial scars . In the house trailer , the kidnapped cowboy can be discover sporting wounds that line up directly with the cicatrix that John has in the first game . The wounds are very new , and the stitch are noticeably seeable . Whether the cutting off John suffer are from his kidnapping by the rival gang or some other incident entirely , the trailer suggests thatRed Dead Redemption 2will tell the storyabout how John Marston gravel his scars .
However , fans credibly should n’t ask too much John Marston . John ’s brief appearing in the trailer is in all probability emblematic of his coming into court in the full plot . John has n’t featured in any of the premature trailers and for very good reason . Red Dead Redemption 2might have multiple playable characters likeGrand Theft Auto Vbut the master hero in all the old trailers has been the much more grizzled and ruthless fibre ( compared to John Marston ) Arthur Morgan . Based on the metre period ofRed Dead Redemption 2 , John will be an subsidiary of the gang , at well .
In addition , John Marston ’s voice player Rob Wiethoff has more or less pull back from the video game industry ( viaPolygon ) . John Marston was Wiethoff ’s first major voice playing theatrical role and his last . He did n’t have much interest in continuing to act after the release ofRed Dead Redemptionand its expansion , Undead Nightmare .
Red Dead Redemption 2could always recast the role , which would make sense as John is several decades younger . However , considering how iconic Wiethoff ’s performance was to the character that seems unlikely . A John Marston who does n’t sound like John Marston would n’t be the most democratic move . John will probably be little more than a cameo , a treat for themany rooter of the firstRed Dead Redemption .
Of of course the visual aspect of John in the trailer could be nothing more than a masterful trolling job by Rockstar Games . Fans are hungry for more information about John Marston . Throwing in a character who could be him in the trailer would stir up even more hype about the biz . The character is n’t named at all and does n’t even speak , outside a oink as he ’s impel to the priming . The wounds are really the only identifying feature linking him to John Marston .
It would a huge dashing hopes for John Marston to not appear inRed Dead Redemption 2but it ’s definitely possible .
