Mark Wahlberg Was Surprised When He Was Recast As Sully In Uncharted
Mark Wahlberg reveals he was initially surprised when he was recast as Sully for the Uncharted movie adaptation after signing on to play Drake. In Naughty Dog's video game franchise of the same name, Victor «Sully» Sullivan is the longtime partner of adventurer Nathan Drake and serves as his father figure after having taken him under his wing at a young age. Richard McGonagle provided the voice of Sully in all four Uncharted games, with his arc having more or less been concluded with Drake's in 2016's Uncharted 4: A Thief's End.
Wahlberg brings Sully to life on screen alongside Tom Holland as Drake for the Uncharted film, which serves as a new origin story for the duo and prequel to the games. The story sees Drake recruited by Sully to help discover the location of Magellan's lost gold before ruthless fortune hunter Santiago Moncada while also following a trail of clues that could lead the duo to Nathan's long-lost brother Sam. Alongside Holland and Wahlberg, the cast for Uncharted includes Sophia Ali as love interest and fellow fortune hunter Chloe Frazer, Tati Gabrielle and Antonio Banderas.
