But despite its mixed reception, the movie was a huge success at the box office.

And now the digital release date is upon us, meaning fans can watch it from the comfort of their own homes.

Starring Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg, Uncharted takes inspiration from the fourth game in the PlayStation franchise, Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, and follows the life of treasure hunter Nathan Drake (Holland).

The story is a prequel to the games and follows Drake as he travels around the world in a bid to find unique treasures, revealing details about how he befriended Victor Sullivan (Wahlberg).

No. Currently, the only way to stream the Uncharted movie in the UK is to buy it digitally.

It’s not yet clear whether Uncharted will eventually land on any streaming service, so viewers will have to wait and see.

Uncharted movie cast

The Uncharted cast is as follows.

  • Tom Holland as Nathan Drake
  • Mark Wahlberg as Victor "Sully" Sullivan
  • Antonio Banderas as Moncada
  • Sophia Ali as Chloe Frazer
  • Tati Gabrielle as Braddock
  • Pilou Asbæk as TBC

It was all the way back in 2008 that we first got word of an Uncharted movie and in the years since there have been various stops and starts with Mark Wahlberg, Chris Pratt and Nathan Fillion all linked with the lead role of adventurer Nathan Drake, who searches out fortunes and claims to be a descendant of explorer Sir Francis Drake.

However, the wheels were finally set in motion when Spider-Man himself, Tom Holland, took on the iconic role with Wahlberg relegated to the role of mentor, Victor Sullivan.

Other big names include Antonio Banderas, Sophia Taylor Ali as Nathan’s love interest Chloe Frazer, and Tati Gabrielle as Braddock.

Talking about their search for the right filmmaker for the movie, Holland recently told Total Film (via GamesRadar): "Some of [the directors] came in, and had ideas that we didn’t like, that just didn’t fit the characters, and we had to move on to other people. We took inspiration from everyone. There were very different variations of Drake, and very different variations of Sully.

"Some people preferred to make the game, some people wanted to make it completely different to the game. It was an interesting process – one that I wouldn’t like to be in again. It’s quite stressful looking for a director."

Sony Pictures officially signed Ruben Fleischer (Venom, Zombieland) in March 2020 to direct the movie. Fletcher revealed landing Uncharted was partly down to his long-standing relationship with the studio.

"I was firing on all cylinders from a production standpoint,” he explained to Total Film while in the final stages of postproduction on Uncharted. “I was just really in the rhythm of making movies."

What is the Uncharted movie about?

"Street-smart Nathan Drake (Tom Holland) is recruited by seasoned treasure hunter Victor 'Sully' Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) to recover a fortune amassed by Ferdinand Magellan and lost 500 years ago by the House of Moncada," an official description of the movie reads.

"What starts as a heist job for the duo becomes a globe-trotting, white-knuckle race to reach the prize before the ruthless Santiago Moncada (Antonio Banderas), who believes he and his family are the rightful heirs. If Nate and Sully can decipher the clues and solve one of the world's oldest mysteries, they stand to find $5 billion in treasure and perhaps even Nate's long-lost brother...but only if they can learn to work together."

If the films are similar to the games, cinema-goers can expect high-energy action and dramatic fight scenes.

What was the Uncharted movie with Nathan Fillion?

In 2018 an action adventure short film called The Uncharted Action Fan Film starring Nathan Fillion based on the PlayStation games was released on YouTube.

The 14-minute clip saw treasure hunter Nathan Drake (Nathan Fillion) captured while searching for the lost treasure of the Flor de la Mar.

The film was released by Nathan Fillion on Twitter, Instagram and YouTube after he teased his followers on social media and it was viewed more than two million times in two days.

Fans campaigned for Netflix or YouTube Premium to fund a digital series to follow on from the short film but nothing came to fruition.
