How Tom Holland Is Similar To Uncharted's Nathan Drake
Tom Holland comments on how he's similar to Uncharted's Nathan Drake. Holland plays Drake in the video game adaptation, which is the first live-action iteration of the character after years of trying to bring the character to the big screen. Based on the long-running video game from Sony Playstation, Uncharted follows the adventures of Nathan Drake, a treasure hunter who constantly finds himself in danger as he traverses the globe in search of long-lost riches.
Uncharted is directed by Ruben Fleischer (Venom) and stars Holland, Mark Wahlberg, Antonio Banderas, Sophia Ali, and Tati Gabrielle. Wahlberg plays Victor «Sully» Sullivan, an older treasure hunter that acts as a kind of mentor to Drake. Holland is portraying a younger version of the character, which was met with controversy early on, which appears to be a move made in order to keep the star in the Uncharted business for years to come if the film is a hit.
