Christmas is right around the corner, and Sony Pictures just dropped a last-minute surprise in the form of a new trailer for Uncharted. We learn a little more about the movie's plot and see some high-stakes action that definitely feels like it's paying homage to Naughty Dog's video game series.
Most of the trailer is dedicated to Nathan Drake and Sully's dynamic, and it's fair to say Spider-Man: No Way Home star Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg do have a bit of chemistry. Plus, in an apparent bid to appease fans convinced Wahlberg is just delivering one of his cookie-cutter action hero roles, there's a shot of him rocking Sully's moustache and showing a little more attitude.
We'll see if he's able to pull it off, but Uncharted does have the makings of a fun blockbuster. Holland is clearly on top form, anyway, and looks to be proving any doubters wrong when it comes to whether he's a good fit for Nate.
"Street-smart thief Nathan Drake is recruited by seasoned treasure hunter Victor "Sully" Sullivan to recover a fortune lost by Ferdinand Magellan 500 years ago," reveals the new synopsis. "What starts as a heist job for the duo becomes a globe-trotting, white-knuckle race to reach the prize before the ruthless Moncada, 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."
Directed by Ruben Fleischer from a screenplay by Rafe Judkins and Art Marcum & Matt Holloway, the movie stars Tom Holland, Mark Wahlberg, Sophia Ali, Tati Gabrielle, and Antonio Banderas.
Uncharted is set to arrive in theaters on February 18. In the UK, it arrives a little sooner on February 11.
