Does theUnchartedMovie Think Mark Wahlberg Is Its Star?

If you ’re a fan of the games , you ’d be forgiven for remember that the long - in - development - hellUnchartedmovie would be about protagonist , adventurer , and gem hunter Nathan Drake . However , thisnewest trailerfor the Sony movie ostensibly need to remind you that this is a prequel to the game where Drake ( Tom Holland ) is an apprentice to Victor Sullivan ( Mark Wahlberg ) , which means the two actors going to be sharing the spotlight — even if Holland ’s Drake is going to be the one doing all the demented grave stunt .

Presumably , Uncharted looks like it ’s going to be as much about Sully as it is Drake , given that Wahlberg was primitively cast as Drake waaaay back in 2010 . It does make good sense , though — since the prequel get going out with Drake as a lowly bartender without any treasure - run experience , Sully ’s run to need to give him a lot of on - the - chore training , as well as what seems to be him betray Drake several million fourth dimension , at least as realize in this unexampled footage . But it ’s kind of strange that Sony would release a Wahlberg - centric trailer for the moving picture less than a week after Tom Holland headlined the second - big moving-picture show premiere ever — not just during the pandemic , ever — withSpider - gentleman’s gentleman : No Way Home .

As for the movie itself , the plot of ground seems to be wildly overcomplicated , including an Indiana Jones - esque series of clues dispel throughout various dilapidation and artifact , a secret imply Drake ’s chum , whatever sinister machinations Anthony Banderas ’ reference necessarily has going on , and more . This , blithely , lines up perfectly with the wildly overcomplicated plot of the video games . Also , I ’m extremely down with people jumping from one fly ship onto another like sky sea rover .
