Uncharted has been through multiple directors and actors over the years, while its release date has shifted almost as much as Gambit's did. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in production being pushed back yet again, and its March 5th, 2021 release date has now been pushed back to October 8th, 2021.
Last night, Spider-Man: Far From Home star Tom Holland made a surprise appearance during Justin Bieber's Instagram Live Q&A, and revealed a surprising new detail about work on Uncharted.
"We showed up for our first day of shooting and they shut us down," the British actor admitted.
It really is beginning to feel like this movie is cursed, and while it now has a much later release date, it could be difficult for everyone's schedules to match up (especially as Holland is bound to be busy with Spider-Man 3 once its July start date is inevitably pushed back because of Coronavirus concerns).
The Uncharted video game series is critically acclaimed both for its gameplay and storytelling. Many fans are unhappy about Holland playing a younger version of Nathan Drake as the hope was that a movie would focus on the version of Nate fans know and love from the games. However, this "origin story" approach gives Sony some much-needed creative freedom.
Are you guys looking forward to Uncharted finally seeing the light of day?
