Sony announced on Friday that the film had been pushed back yet again from its December 18, 2020 release to March 5, 2021.
Similarly, the treasure hunter himself has gone through various faces and ages through the production. Original fan-favorite Nathan Fillian, who played Drake in the fan film Uncharted – Live Action Fan film was passed up as Sony wanted someone younger.
The role was offered and turned down by Chris Pratt before falling to the younger Tom Holland as the film was set to be a prequel showing a younger version of the treasure hunter. With Mark Wallberg, who was at one point set to play the leading role, being cast as a young Victor Sullivan.
Productions End:
Sony’s production of a third Spider-Man movie, also starring Tom Hollard, which is rumored to shoot this summer, is the main reason for the production being pushed back. With the company aiming for a winter shoot, the latest director to be attached to the project is Ruben Fleischer of Zombieland fame.
Uncharted’s developers Naughty Dog released The Lost Legacy, a spin-off featuring the character Chloe Frazer The Lost Legacy in 2017. The team is currently working on The Last of Us: Part 2, which will release on May 29, 2020.
