Is he playing a young Drake or something? Really don’t see him in the role to be honest unless this is some origin story or something like that.

I do like the choice of Tom Holland for Nate. I really do.
He could get a nice 10 year run on the character
Assuming the first movie doesn't suck, which it likely will.

Sony San Diego most likely started development of Uncharted 7 or 8 or whatever back in 2018.

He's Drake and Marky Mark is Sully.

I think Tom is a perfect young Nathan, but not late 30s Nate. Nathan Fillion should be 40s Nate

I think he's playing old Sully or maybe Elena.

Tom Hanks is a perfect Sully

Wow, the only way this could be worse is if they used the “impact” fo.... oh, never mind...

I mean, if the movies take place between the games or something it would be a very bad fit, you never know, bad casting choices are a thing.No. He's very clearly playing the role of the old man Donut Drake.....
Do we have an idea of the timeline for this movie?

Although I like both actors, I do think the casting especially Mark Wahlberg for Sully is a little wierd.

Marky Mark as Sully? Really??
And Tom Holland looks great as young Peter Parker. But i think he'll never look good as adult Peter. Or Nate.

If it's like early 20s drake Holland could totally pull it off.
If it's late 30s to early 40s Nate then it should be Fillion

I like Tom, but he's a 24 year old who looks and plays 17 year old characters. He looks too young and I have a hard time he will ever look right as an older Nathan.
And Mark Whalberg? The casting for this is pretty mediocre, along with the director and the writers. I smell a big dud.

It's gonna have to be an origin story. Holland could easily be a young Nate like he was in UC4 flashbacks
I can't understand Marky Mark as Sully at all though

Mark wahlberg is a terrible actor with no funny chemistry with any other actor, so him as Sully is a HUUUGE miscast. Remember that other game movie he was in, Max Payne? Terrible shitty movie with horrible acting.
Tom Holland as Nathan Drake is way too young, and he doesn't have that Hollywood clout that a big star like Nathan Drake warrants.
Say what you will about Angelina's tomb raider, she looked like the character and her star power gave the movie more weight.

He's obviously playing a young Drake. Is it really that hard to figure out?

Are they doing drakes fortune? Or before that? Are they considering it canon? I assume they’ve got them playing young versions so in a few years they’ll grow older and they can work their way up to the games storylines. I mean of course they’ve already planned 7 sequels and a spin off movie and a game based on the movie and some non canon side story books!

I still don't like the young Drake concept. Also I hope I'm wrong but I half expect Holland to just play a less nerdy version of his Peter Parker, with Sully taking over the "mentor" role from Tony Stark.
Not to mention it's 2020 and it's a videogame franchise known for over the top setpiece moments (and it's Sony pictures which isn't great either) so I expect a ton of distractingly fake CGI and Green screen scenes.
A whole movie of a slightly better version of this:

Well you couldn’t even come up with a smart answer yourself since you don’t seem to know either, so no, I still stand that bad castings are a thing until we know more anything is possible.
Also, there were much better options than him even though he might be popular right now because of Spider-Man.

The Uncharted movie is not shooting just yet, but the team is "hoping to start soon"
The Uncharted movie is currently scheduled to release next summer

Alot of you are overthinking this. This will be some Jumanji type of audience movie, with some Indiana Jones nostalgia. Hope to use the actor for atleast 2 movies, then use a older actor after.

I'm sure Tom Holland will begin talking about the video games in vague detail, saying he loves them (if he hasn't already). Gotta get that PR cred.
I mean FFS games and movies need to stay in their own lane. It's never generally good when a game is made into a movie or a movie is made into a game. On top of that, you then have these phony comments about how the actors always been a huge fan of the source material, blah blah blah.

5' 8" Tom Holland as Drake and Wahlberg as Sully? :/
Always thought of this guy the first time I saw Sully:
Mitt Romney is a really outside the box choice but I guess....

It’s a prequel to Uncharted 1. Their first outing.

Tom is a great choice as a younger Drake, and is a huge star now. They hit the jackpot signing him on to this a few years ago before he hit mainstream
The rest of the movie seems like a mixed bag. Marky Mark as Sully is a miscast, but from everything I've read he has a real passion for the project and seems like the one pushing it forward for years. Apparently Antonio Banderas is in the movie?
The director is Ruben Fleischer who is okay for popcorn flicks, but I can't think of any sort of memorable action set pieces in his films. His best movie was Zombieland. Venom possibly his biggest, I haven't seen it though
The writer has a really bad resume. Joe Carnahan, has the likes of the A Team reboot and Bad Boys for life to his credit. His best movie seems to be the Grey with Liam Neeson which I enjoyed except the writing. It literally has a close up and cut to black ending before the main set piece of the movie

Of course, the best way to do a movie adaptation of a very popular video game is to base it on the small, somewhat forgettable flashback sequence from the third game in the series.
Sigh.
This movie is going to suck, because they clearly have no idea why Uncharted is so popular, and are just giving Tom Holland a new starring vehicle. Nobody involved has a great pedigree, Naughty Dog don’t appear to be involved at all, and it keeps getting pushed back over and over again.
24% on Rotten Tomatoes.

The casting is what it is. Let's hope they can make a good movie. Please don't fuck it up.
