The forthcoming Uncharted movie adaptation is all set for a worldwide release on February 18th, and right before the film’s release, a new promo featuring a conversation between Naughty Dog’s Neil Druckmann and Tom Holland — who will be seen playing Nathan Drake in the film — has been recently shared by Uncharted developer Naughty Dog. The two even discuss bringing the video game to the big screen, Tom Holland’s portrayal of Nathan Drake, and much more.
“I actually was, you know,” Holland says when Druckmann asks whether the new Nathan Drake was nervous when meeting Nolan North, who portrayed the character in the Uncharted games. “I was such a big fan of the games, and he has such a distinct voice. And the nicest thing for me is that he’s been so supportive of me kind of inheriting this character and bringing in my new ideas and this new flavor to Nathan Drake.”

“Street-smart Nathan Drake (Tom Holland) is recruited by seasoned treasure hunter Victor ‘Sully’ Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) to recover a fortune amassed by Ferdinand Magellan and lost 500 years ago by the House of Moncada,” an official description of the upcoming movie reads. “What starts as a heist job for the duo becomes a globe-trotting, white-knuckle race to reach the prize before the ruthless Santiago Moncada (Antonio Banderas), who believes he and his family are the rightful heirs. If Nate and Sully can decipher the clues and solve one of the world’s oldest mysteries, they stand to find $5 billion in treasure and perhaps even Nate’s long-lost brother…but only if they can learn to work together.”
As we read above, the Uncharted film is currently set to release in the theaters on February 18th after facing many delays. The movie stars Tom Holland playing Nathan Drake, while Mark Wahlberg plays Victor “Sully” Sullivan, and Antonio Banderas portrays the role of Santiago Moncada. The movie is also set to feature Sophia Ali (from Grey’s Anatomy) as Chloe Frazer and The 100’s Tati Gabrielle as Braddock. Venom director Ruben Fleischer helms the adaptation.
