Uncharted Movie Release Date, Trailer, Storyline, and Top Cast and more

The Uncharted movie is poised to hit the big screen for the first time. The video game adaptation has had a bumpy route to release, but we're about to see Tom Holland take on the character of Nathan Drake in a matter of days, after many years and numerous filmmakers (more on that later). Mark Wahlberg co-stars with him as Drake's mentor Sully, and we've got all the details on the rest of the cast members down below.

We've also got a breakdown of the film's trailers, exclusive Holland quotes (including how the concept for the film came from a rejected young James Bond proposal), and lots of additional story elements and official photographs to whet your appetite for the impending swashbuckling adventure. And that's only the beginning - for all of this and more, keep scrolling to learn all we know so far about the Uncharted film.

Uncharted Movie Release Date

The first Un charted movie was set to be released in 2016 — suffice to say, it has been postponed several times since then. The film's final release date has been set on February 18, 2022.

The movie will also be available on Netflix. Netflix now has exclusive rights to stream Sony's theatrical releases, including Un charted, Venom 2, and Morbius, according to a new contract. These films, however, will not be available on Netflix at the same time as they are in theatres, but rather within two years of their theatrical release.

Uncharted Movie Trailer

Uncharted trailers can be found on the internet. The first film features Tom Holland as Nathan Drake, who meets Mark Wahlberg's Sully. Nathan tumbling off a plane and attempting to climb cargo to get back inside is another scene straight from the games.

Sony has published a second video for Un charted: Golden Abyss, which features Sully with his trademark mustache. There's also some new information about Antonio Banderas' character, who appears to be fighting both his own family legacy and Drake.

A post shared by Uncharted (@unchartedmovie)

Experienced treasure hunter Victor "Sully" Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) recruits street-smart Nathan Drake (Tom Holland) to recover riches acquired by Ferdinand Magellan and lost 500 years ago by the House of Moncada. What begins as a simple heist for the duo quickly turns into a race around the world to reach the reward before the savage Santiago Moncada (Antonio Banderas), who believes he and his family are the legitimate heirs. Nate and Sully have a chance to unearth $5 billion in treasure and possibly even Nate's long-lost brother if they can understand the clues and solve one of the world's oldest mysteries...but only if they can learn to work together.

Uncharted Movie Cast

Tom Holland, who is best known for playing Spider-Man, will play Nathan Drake in Un charted, playing a younger version of the character than in the games. Meanwhile, Mark Wahlberg will play Victor "Sully" Sullivan, a seasoned treasure hunter who serves as Drake's tutor. Holland's portrayal in the film has been lauded by Nolan North, the voice of Nathan Drake in the games. 

Sophia Taylor Ali, who starred in Truth or Dare, plays Chloe Frazer, a fellow treasure hunter who first appeared in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and then led the spin-off Un charted: The Lost Legacy. Frazer has a romantic history with Drake, as revealed in the games; may the film disclose what happened between the two?

Antonio Banderas, who plays the villain in the film, will play a pivotal part. There's no information on whether the Zorro actor's character existed in the games before, but reports claim he's a brand-new character created specifically for the film.

Tati Gabrielle from Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, whose role is also unknown, completes the main cast. Could she be playing Elena Fisher, Drake's future wife, with whom she already has a professional connection when Drake's Fortune premieres? It's implied that she started their relationship by documenting Drake's treasure-hunting exploits in the games. If Elena does appear in the Uncharted film, it will most likely be at the conclusion.

Uncharted Movie Plot

Uncharted's cast is led by actors that are significantly younger than the video game characters they portray. The film will be a prequel to the Uncharted game series, taking place before the events of the first game, Un charted: Drake's Fortune, though it will not be directly tied to the games (this isn't canon, in case you're interested), and the filmmakers may take the story in a different direction by the end of the film.

The film's official synopsis has been posted. "Uncharted introduces fans to teenage street-smart Nathan Drake (Tom Holland) and his first treasure hunting journey with wisecracking buddy Victor 'Sully' Sullivan, based on one of the best-selling and highly renowned video game series of all time (Mark Wahlberg). The two go on a perilous quest for "the greatest treasure never unearthed" while also chasing clues that could lead to Nathan's long-lost sibling in an action-adventure epic that spans the globe."

Holland has recently previewed what the film may entail. He told Total Film, "Uncharted is a film I finished last year." "Mark Wahlberg and I are here. It's a precursor to the Uncharted game series from Naughty Dog. Nathan Drake is my character. Our director, Ruben Fleischer, performed an outstanding job. It makes me really happy. It's entertaining, amusing, and epic. It'll be quite entertaining. The action moments are among the most exciting I've ever worked on. So I'm really looking forward to that." 

He also admitted to putting on ""When we walked to set for the first time, I saw Mark Wahlberg [who plays mentor figure Sully], and Mark is big," he told Total Film. He's a piece of machinery. I was in decent shape, but I wasn't particularly large." The set was shut down a few days later owing to Covid. "We went home for five months, and all I did was eat and train, eat and train, eat and train - to put some muscle on, to seem less like a child next to Mark."

Holland previously admitted to GQ that "there are portions of my performance in Un charted where I kind of fell under that trap of being 'I want to look nice today' rather than 'acting a character." "As soon as you start caring about 'Do I look good in this shot?' acting becomes something other than playing a character," he continued, "I think there are portions of my performance in Uncharted where I fell under that trap of 'I want to look good now.'" This is going to be my cool moment...' But it was a valuable lesson taught since it was sometimes more about landing a mark and going through this scene than it was about landing a mark and seeing my expanding biceps... It was a mistake, and I will almost certainly never do it again."

He has promised us, however, that the film would be suitable for all audiences. He told Den of Geek, "For the fans of the games, they're getting a side of the tale that they've never seen before." "Those who haven't played the games yet are given a wonderful introduction to a character. It works for almost everyone."

Uncharted Movie Director

Uncharted has had a few directors... To begin with, David O. Russell, best renowned for his work on American Hustle, was the first person to be hired to write and direct the film. In a 2010 interview with MTV, Wahlberg, who worked with Russell on The Fighter, expressed his enthusiasm for the director's work, saying: "I certainly support whatever David wants to do, but the concept is insane: Robert De Niro as my father, Joe Pesci as my uncle. That's for sure. It won't be the watered-down version."

Russell quickly left the project due to work on Silver Linings Playbook, and Neil Burger – fresh off the success of Limitless in 2011 – was brought in to rewrite the script. After Ruger left to helm the Divergent films in 2012, the deal fell through, and Seth Gordon, the filmmaker of Horrible Bosses, was hired in 2014. The character of Nathan Drake was then turned down by Chris Pratt, and Gordon left the project to direct a Baywatch film. Pirates of the Caribbean

Later, as part of the infamous Sony leaks in 2015, a script created by David Guggenhein surfaced online. Wahlberg's script notes requested that the writers reduce the "buddy movie" nature of the film, "making it plainly Drake's story" rather than one starring Sully and Drake. There were three antagonists at one point, but they were reduced to two. Kraven The Hunter: 

Stranger Things director Shawn Levy was in charge by the time 2016 rolled around until Dan Trachtenberg took control in early 2019. Travis Knight, the director of Bumblebee, took up Trachtenberg's directing duties in September of that year but resigned in December due to Holland's clashing schedule filming Spider-Man 3.

After all of this, Rubun Fleischer finally joined the team in 2020. Fleischer, the director of both Zombieland and Venom, accomplished what no one else had: he actually filmed an Uncharted picture.

Iron Man and Men in Black: International duo Art Marcum and Matt Holloway, who took over from Jonathan Rosenberg and Mark Walker, wrote the final screenplay. Before that, there were versions by Agents of Shield writer Rafe Judkins (who still has a writing credit on IMDB), Bad Boys for Life's Joe Carnahan (who called his R-rated script "a beast" with "four of the biggest, f***in' craziest action sequences I think I've ever written"), and a slew of others.

The Uncharted Movie Will Be a First For Sony

The Uncharted movie will be produced by PlayStation Productions, a Sony subsidiary. Un charted is the studio's first project intended for a large theatrical release, having previously produced the animated film Heavenly Sword in 2014 and Ratchet & Clank in 2016. PlayStation Productions is also working on an HBO series based on The Last of Us.
