Rumour: Chris Pratt to join Tom Holland on the Jak & Daxter movie
In February 2022 Uncharted director Ruben Fleischer announced that not only is he working on a Jak & Daxter and he had such a time working with Tom Holland that he was hoping to get him to voice a character in the film.
“Just by coincidence, somebody forwarded me an article where Tom Holland was asked if he could make any video game a movie, which would it be,” Fleischer told Games Radar at the time. “He said Jak and Daxter and so, when I saw him earlier this week on this tour, I said, ‘You know, Tom, someone told me that you want to make that movie. I’m actually trying to make it.’ So there’s the possibility that we could partner again on that one, which I’m really excited about.”
“Similar to Uncharted, what makes Jak and Daxter so special is the buddy relationship at the centre of it,” adds Reuben. “They are a team and they help each other out and they make sacrifices for one another. And that is I think the key to a great comedy. It’s a little funny to hear, but the two movies that kind of inspired the film adaptation of Jak and Daxter are Midnight Run and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.”
A new rumour, from reliable tipster MyTimeToShineHello suggests that Tom Holland is indeed onboard and he will be joined by Chris Pratt.

Sony have not confirmed the movie is production but might be a risky choice. While the Uncharted movie did very well, the Ratchet and Clank movie bombed at the box office despite being generally inoffensive with few good jokes.
