Holland plays Nathan Drake, the protagonist of Naughty Dog's Uncharted series. TheJak and Daxter platformer series launched in 2001 with Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, being followed by five other installments and three rereleases on later generation consoles.
Set before the events of the game series, Uncharted stars Tom Holland as a younger Nathan Drake, who is dragged into a quest to find the lost fortune of Ferdinand Magellan by Mark Whalberg's veteran fortune hunter Victor «Sully» Sullivan. Together, the pair are pitted against Antonio Banderas's rival treasure hunter Moncada and his mercenaries, leading to cargo plane scuffles, undercover jobs at parties, and ancient ruins. After a long, complicated development process, Uncharted will release on February 11. The film is trying to properly replicate the Uncharted video games' imagery, and Holland has already set his sights on another Naughty Dog franchise.
