This Uncharted movie, huh? We've been writing about the big-screen adaptation of Nathan Drake for the best part of a decade now, and this thing still hasn't made any meaningful progress. Spider-Man himself, Tom Holland, is signed up to play the role of the franchise's protagonist, but now another star has joined the ensemble.
Variety reports that Mark Wahlberg is in final talks to co-star in "Uncharted", taking up the role of Sully. Funnily enough, Walhberg was originally set to play Nathan Drake before the project was turned into an origin story a number of years back. We suppose this is progress, but with the number of directors the film has gone through, we still can't see this thing actually making it to theatres. Even despite the fact that PlayStation Productions is now fronting things.
Do you think the Uncharted movie will ever actually happen? Discuss your thoughts in the comments below.

Mark Wahlberg as Sully immediately sounds misguided.
So much time has passed, Wahlberg was announced as Nate in 2010, that he is old enough to play Sully now hahaha. Holland is 23 years old. When the movie comes out in 2055, after Wahlberg drops out again, he can play Sully.
Sully = Wahlberg ? emmm, excuse me ??? What ?? |
Horribly casted!!!
So what will get done first, the Uncharted movie or Brexit? 😂
So who's Will Ferrell gonna be in it?
@carlos82 uncharted
This all sounds horrible.
I always thought that Wei Shen from Sleeping Dogs sounded like Marky Mark.
Whaaat noooo
I can't imagine Wahlberg with Sully's big soup strainer/cookie duster 'tache. It'll be brilliant*.
*awful
I'm sure the entire cast will be replaced with The Rock before too long...
Nathan Fullion stars in a fan made flick as Drake on YouTube. He does a great job IMHO 🌞
Sounds okay to me, willing to give it a try.
Can't see Marky Mark as Sully. :/
By the time this movie comes out, Marky would be older than an origin Sully...
Why not have the real Sully i.e. Tom Hanks???
Video games are so hard to make into movies. Ive wondered why for many years. Anyone have any reasons. Maybe because the length of games is so much longer than movies, and not enough time to do proper world building. I think making a series is better suited for bringing games to TV. I guess we will find out about that with the witcher soon enough.
Netflix day one for me
Sure, why not? I'm just here for the ride.
@ellsworth004 Part of the reason is that most games just don't have particularly good stories or characters. Even the ones we consider great are only really great as far as game stories go, and most characters lack depth and just look cool. It's the interactive element of games that picks up the slack, keeping you invested. Remove that in the transition to film and you're not left with much.
@get2sammyb You didn't write the article or even comment, you on holiday or sick or something? You've been quiet on twitter as well.
Anyway, too all the people saying Marky Mark is too young to play Sully.
1. No, he isn't., and 2.
Nate even sounds like Tom Holland here. Movie is probably going to be an origin story, so Marky Mark is fine as Sully, basically all he has to do is play Robert Downy Jr..
We've already seen how they meet.
@ShogunRok It immediately sounded misguided to me too, so I rushed on to PS to see all the comments and realized I was like 16 hours behind on the story.
Then I thought about it for a few minutes and well see above, Whalberg can pull off Downy I think. Together all they need to do is pull off all the scenes they are in together from the MCU movies, everybody I've ever talked to has enjoyed those.
@ZeldaToThePast i made a whole account to agree with you
@Crazynugget Ha ha, thanks.
