Sophia Ali, who plays Chloe in Sony’s Uncharted, learned she wasn’t very good at the video games while researching her role. With a filmography stretching back to 2003, Ali has previously appeared in the 2008 horror film Truth or Dare, and as Dr. Dahlia Qadri on Grey’s Anatomy. Now, Ali stars in Venom and Zombieland director Ruben Fleischer’s Uncharted, which was released in theaters on February 18.
Uncharted is based on Naughty Dog’s video game franchise of the same name, which began with the release of Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune on PlayStation 3 in 2007. Serving as a spiritual prequel to the games, the film sees Tom Holland play a younger version of the wise-cracking thief turned treasure hunter, Nathan Drake, who meets his future mentor in Mark Wahlberg’s Victor “Sully” Sullivan. In addition to that pair, Uncharted alsostars Antonio Banderas, Tati Gabrielle, and Ali. The latter actress plays the live-action Chloe Frazer, a fellow treasure hunter and occasional soldier of fortune who first appeared in 2009's Uncharted 2: Among Thieves before headlining her own game via 2017's Uncharted: The Lost Legacy.
