Stop the presses: we have an update on the Uncharted movie. Given that the film is due to begin shooting very soon, we were expecting to hear more news soon. Lo and behold, Variety is reporting on brand new cast members as well the seventh confirmed director on the project.
Most notably, Antonio Banderas is joining Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg in the adaptation, although his role is currently unknown. He recently received an Oscar nomination for his part in Pain and Glory, and is of course a very well known actor in countless films. If we were to hazard a guess, we'd say he'll be playing the antagonist, but who knows? As well as Banderas, Grey's Anatomy actress Sophia Ali and The 100's Tati Gabrielle are said to be involved.
Reuben Fleischer will be directing the elusive flick. He's probably best known for directing films such as Venom and Zombieland, so it seems he's no stranger to a mix of action and comedy.
It seems things could finally be coming together for the Uncharted film, which has been spinning its wheels for years and years. According to Holland, who'll play a young Nathan Drake, the script is a winner, so hopefully we'll be in for a treat next March.

Wow things are coordinated in Push Square Towers tonight 😂😂
They should add banderas to the next naughty dog games
No, no - it's too sexy!
@nessisonett We live for opportunities like this
Not feeling it tbh, casting seems a bit off to me.
Would've went Stranger Things with Joe Keery as young Drake, David Harbour as Sully and tried to get Gareth Edwards to direct.
Still, I'm going to keep an open mind and hope they manage to pull this off.
I can do this one because of my avatar.
loving the references to the film Assassins in the comments and article
Perhaps they've been inspired to get it going due to the success of the Sonic movie (I know, right? Who'd have thunk it?)
Love Antonio, I'm looking forward to it.
"we'd say he'll be playing the antagonist"
Concur. And I'd see it just to see him play a bad guy in an action comedy.
I'm guessing he models his part on William Dafoe in "Once Upon a Time in Mexico".
Robert Rodriguez could do Uncharted justice. But I have to say, as bad as the trailers were for Venom, some of the worst graphics this side of Cats and original Sonic, the movie actually turned out to be quite good. It knew enough not to take itself too seriously or or make the hero too heroic.
I'm in. Day 1.
Alright, who's gonna jump ship first? We have at least four people who could set the whole project back now.
You know, I'm kind of down with both of these. I've always liked Antonio and Fleischer seems like someone who'll just do the job and not jump ship at this point. I'm still willing to give it a shot.
Wonder who he's gonna play as.
Also, Bryan Cranston as Sully?
@WanderingBullet Nope Mark Whalberg sadly.
@DonJorginho Damn, I saw Bryan Cranston as one of the cast so I thought he was Sully.
