'Uncharted' Movie Trailer Drops, Showing Tom Holland As Nathan Drake

The first trailer for Sony Pictures' upcoming movie adaptation of Uncharted released this morning, showing several high-octane action set pieces one would expect from an Uncharted adaptation and an element one might not expect: Tom Holland as Nathan Drake.

Fortune favors the bold. Watch the official trailer for #UnchartedMovie, starring Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg, exclusively in movie theaters February 18. pic.twitter.com/23PvjtINpn

Holland was cast in the role in 2017, but the film had generally stayed under the radar until today's trailer reveal. Mark Wahlberg has been cast as Sullivan, and Antonio Banderas seems to be the film's chief antagonist.

Though Holland has stretched into more challenging work with films like Cherry and The Devil All The Time, he is undoubtedly best known for his "aw, shucks" take on Peter Parker in the current MCU, and many felt his boyish looks didn't quite sit right with the swashbuckling image of Uncharted's protagonist, Nathan Drake.

I like Tom Holland, broadly, but I cannot get over how woefully miscast he is as Nathan Drake. Or, alternately, I guess, I don't like the film's "plucky young kid" take on the character?

I know I’m in the minority, but I just don’t see Tom Holland as Nathan Drake. I’ll reserve judgment until I see him in action, but they already casted the perfect Nathan Drake back in 2018. pic.twitter.com/k5CYZnke2o

Forget Tom Holland, we already got a perfect Nathan Drake type in The Mummy trilogy pic.twitter.com/XSu2fCrV8M

Others were warmer to the idea of Holland as Drake, as the film appears to focus on Drake in his younger years.

So apparently mfs just did not play the games at all.

Tom Holland is actually a good choice for Nathan Drake. I know people are sick of Holland but dude’s like a genuinely charming actor and can pull off the role tbh pic.twitter.com/DRkId5buA7

We'll have to wait until the film's February 18th, 2022 release date to see if Holland pulls off Nathan Drake.
