Uncharted movie cast9/13/2023 ![]() “What starts as a heist job for the duo becomes a globe-trotting, white-knuckle race to reach the prize before the ruthless Moncada (Antonio Banderas), who believes he and his family are the rightful heirs. “Street-smart thief Nathan Drake (Tom Holland) is recruited by seasoned treasure hunter Victor “Sully” Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) to recover a fortune lost by Ferdinand Magellan 500 years ago,” says the official synopsis. Just an idea.Based on Naughty Dog’s best-selling video game, Uncharted stars Tom Holland ( Spider-Man: No Way Home), Mark Wahlberg ( Transformers films), Sophia Ali (The Wilds), Tati Gabrielle ( Chilling Adventures of Sabrina), and Oscar nominee Antonio Banderas ( The Mask of Zorro, Pain and Glory). Or, you know, maybe creating a niche of his own rather than trying to take the reigns from the legendary Harrison Ford. This could easily be the perfect stepping stone to Pratt playing Dr. Hell, Uncharted was heavily inspired by the Indiana Jones series. Sure, he might end up playing Indiana Jones in the series’ fifth installment, but unless that series is ready to go, he might be better suited taking a swing at a different action-adventure franchise with the potential for multiple installments. Add to that his rugged good looks and skyrocketing stock and you have the face of a franchise begging to be signed. The man is genuinely talented and funny, meaning he’s got Nathan’s necessary quirks down pat. Getting used to seeing Chris Pratt on the big screen? There’s a good reason for that. Christopher Star-Lord-Jurassic-World-Presumably-Indiana-Jones Pratt. So why’s he placed at number 2? Because his price tag will likely be the most affordable, and the fact that his unassuming body of work means he would be a refreshing casting, with no inclinations about past roles. Sure Eastwood has the rugged good looks down, but we’ve yet to see the necessary balance from him other actors in his list have provided. Scott Eastwood’s resume is by far the least impressive on this list, having only one big film in his filmography in which he was the star, The Longest Ride. At least with regard to his fit for the role. Remember when I said Gerard Butler was the longest shot on this list to play Nathan Drake? Yeah, I guess I lied. And unless Sony is planning on making Uncharted 4, The Movie, he’s probably north of what they want… No one questions Butler’s badassery, having starred in films such as 300 and Olympus has Fallen, but at age 47, he’s approaching “old man Drake” territory. This one is admittedly the longest shot on this list in my opinion. It might as well be Sony who’s in need of a big, refreshing star to anchor its next franchise. Some may be scared off by his lack of pedigree on the silver screen, but it’s only a matter of time before someone gives him a shot. To date, however, his only movie roles have only been low-budget horror films and a straight-to-DVD animated Batman movie, Under the Red Hood. Ackles, meanwhile, expresses all of this with as little as a single look or expression. Playing the role of a rugged badass who’s battled monsters of all shapes and sizes, Dean Winchester knows ultimate of suffering. Playing Dean Winchester on the CW’s Supernatural the past 11 years, Ackles has shown tremendous range and excels in the essential “quiet” moments to offset his goofiness and smartass humor -a trait he shares with Nathan Drake. I must admit, I’m a huge fan of Jensen Ackles. A loveable smartass possessed by his drive for greatness and adventure, Naughty Dog’s leading man requires a delicate touch, one Cooper would is more than capable of bringing to the table. Showing a knack for both comedy and ruggedness, Cooper could bring balance to the dual nature of Nate’s character. Who might that mythical casting be? Here are a few suggestions…Ī seasoned vet with both name recognition and a well-rounded resume, Bradley Cooper would be an ideal fit to take up the double-barrel and treasure map. Hopefully, the other shoe doesn’t take long to drop and we get our leading man to play Nathan Drake. But, with the recent additions of Shawn Levy, producer of Stranger Things, in the Director’s seat, as well as Tom Holland of Spider-Man Homecoming being cast as young Nathan, things finally appear to be turning around. Despite its efforts to bring Naughty Dog’s immensely successful franchise, Uncharted to the big screen, Sony has routinely been forced back to the drawing board.
