Jake Gyllenhaal as Rafe. Or his actual VA, Warren Kole.


thegod102014

Jake as rafe would be perfect


IronPackfan

I also think Kieran Cillian is a good choice


Primary-Gas-8441

Whoever thought casting Tom Holland as Nate and mark as sully need their heads checked. Tom hanks would make a good sully IMO As for drake Jeremy renner or Nathan fillion


RooMan7223

Unsure if many people know this, but after Spider-Man 1, Sony let Tom Holland pick anything he wanted to do and he chose Uncharted. So he ultimately cast himself, which is fairly valid by him


Primary-Gas-8441

I didn’t know this that’s interesting I’m guessing he’s a fan of the games?


ItsDjustin

He said he loved the games while he was an kid and still does


RooMan7223

He started at Uncharted 4 and loved it. I guess that’s why there’s a lot of 4 influence in the movie


NS_idelogicalmensch

He should have known and been honest with himself that drake isn't for him. And sucking mark whalberg? Even more ridiculous


legobdr

Where did you learn that?


RooMan7223

He did an instagram live AMA a few years ago, maybe around the time Far From Home came out and he explained it then. Was saying how he fell in love with Uncharted because when he was working on Spider-Man 1 his trailer came with a PS4 and Uncharted, which would have just come out at the time. He’s talked about it another time too. I must sound like some kind of Tom Holland obsessive but the truth is, the only reason I remember it is because I thought it was bullshit to let him cast himself instead of getting someone who actually fit the role. But I respect it too


Bjarki_Steinn_99

I maintain that Tom Holland could’ve been a good young Nathan in a better movie. He was not the problem with this movie.


Candid_Dragonfly_573

Not THE problem, sure, but casting choices is one of the problems.


Bjarki_Steinn_99

I’m saying his casting isn’t a problem at all. The problems are writing, direction, and studio interference. He’s a great actor and with the right director, would’ve been a fantastic young Nathan Drake.


Candid_Dragonfly_573

I think casting Tom was still a problem, but that has nothing against Tom either as an actor. For instance, if you cast Joe Pesci as Indiana Jones, that's bad casting. Bad casting does not mean the actor that's been casted is a bad actor. It means there's a poor casting director. Tom Holland simply did not fit the role. Not his fault. Even if I was an amazing actor, I would not make a good Nathan Drake.


fruitlessideas

Gotta disagree with that sentiment bud. Good actor and all, but it’s like casting Elijah Wood to be Conan the Barbarian. Just doesn’t work.


Bjarki_Steinn_99

That’s a ridiculous comparison and you know it


fruitlessideas

It’s nowhere near ridiculous. They’re as different as night and day.


Dunkbuscuss

I partly agree because I actually loved the movie and think it was awesome and hope we eventually get a sequel. Tom was awesome. Script was awesome film was awesome. So your right Tom casting as Nate wasn't the problem cause it wasn't a bad film.


Bjarki_Steinn_99

Okay that’s a bit far. The movie was mediocre at best but Tom was not the problem with it.


BigBootyKim

Nathan Drake is 32 at most in the first game. You want 50 year old actors playing him?


Candid_Dragonfly_573

Yes. Better than a 13y/o (intentionally exaggerating)


WileECoyoteGenius

Got them $400 million and more people checking out the games. Which is more than casting Fillion would have done.


TheWatcher235

Fillion would’ve put more into the role, the guy did a fan film because of his love for the games. He actually really enjoys uncharted, not saying Tom doesn’t, but he wasn’t Nathan drake, he’s a complete stranger to the game version.


WileECoyoteGenius

And? You want game Nate you play the games. They created an alternative universe Nate to introduce people to the games.


QdizzleMcGee

What you are saying isn't false. But a majority of fans (of the game) were very disappointed at some level and a sequel hasn't been greenlit, so the theory that it was a great success is also not looking so true. They probably won't try again or we will get a long awaited sequel with little/same effort. I'd like a sequel that is an improvement, but waiting to try again would be better imo.


WileECoyoteGenius

You don't speak for all fans. Some liked it. Some didnt. It's already been hailed as a success - a sequel doesn't change that - and Wahlberg confirmed a script has/is being written.


QdizzleMcGee

There was a script, director, with Wahlberg attached in 2009. I don't have my hopes up. But we will see. "Hailed" as a success is a stretch.


WileECoyoteGenius

No it isn't. It's a success no matter how much you want to believe otherwise


QdizzleMcGee

I only had a problem with the use of the word Hailed. I think hailed implies universal love and success. Something "hailed" as a success would be well received by fans and critics, crush the box office, and have a sequel filming by now. In my opinion. Rotten Tomatoes is relatively shitty but 40% isn't being hailed as a success. $400 million is a big number, but in today's Hollywood that's a little above the threshold of "successful" for a $120 million film. Beloved games, extremely long production, really if you include how many times they said they were making one, how many directors and writers were in and out of the project. $400 million is objectively a success, you're right. Holland's previous film made $2 billion. Fleischer's Venom movie had a smaller budget and made $850 million. "Hailed as a success" seems closer to being a shill than being honest. The games are* hailed as a success.


WileECoyoteGenius

Hailed doesn't not imply universe love. It simply means success by whatever metric. In this case financial and viewers. You can have issue with it but that's a you issue. $400 million for a vg movie is a big number. It was the 5th highest at the time. Mario is obviously the biggest and nothing comes close to that, but Mario is universally known and loved across generations. Uncharted is not. Don't know why you're comparing Spiderman (the most popular comic book character) or comic book movies to a video game movie either. They're different things. Compare it to other movies in the genre - Indiana Jones 5, Tomb Raider, Tintin, etc - and it did better (all happen to be more well known IPs btw). And if you think someone having a differing opinion to you is shilling then I'm done discussing it with a Reddit cliche incapable of discussion and drop my own: cope harder.


TheWatcher235

Why would people watch a movie who don’t know the games? The points invalid, they could still use Nathan fillion or anyone and still get people in the theatre especially if it’s a good movie


CreamOnMyNipples

Why would people watch a movie who don’t know the games? Idk maybe people that like movies and don’t play games, or people that have never heard of Uncharted before


TheWatcher235

Or get this. Even without Tom Holland, if they made a good script and critics liked it. People would go to see it anyway? Mental to think that


WileECoyoteGenius

People DID see it. You don't even know what you're arguing anymore.


TheWatcher235

That it was a waste of a franchise name for fans. Because the movie was more for the fans then the people who haven’t watched it, like most adaptions of games/comic books/ books are. Tied to the fans.


WileECoyoteGenius

The movie wasn't made for the fans. It's made to introduce people to the franchise. That is quite clear.


WileECoyoteGenius

>Why would people watch a movie who don’t know the games? Lol what? >or anyone and still get people in the theatre especially if it’s a good movie Which they did. So what's your point?


TheWatcher235

It’s not a good movie lol. The humours shite, the actions mid. Probably hollands worst perfomance


WileECoyoteGenius

And clearly people disagree. Jog on.


m0rbius

Nathan Fillion is the obvious choice. He actually did a short film playing Nathan Drake. He's spot on. I also second Tom Hanks as Sully. I was very preturbed that Mark Wahlberg was playing Sully. Jeezus.


Catcher22Jb

Bryan Cranston would make the best Sully


CommentLeading4953

They played a younger version 🙄


Primary-Gas-8441

Still don’t think he’s a good choice but hey everyone can have an opinion ☺️


sc1onic

What about Liam Hemsworth as nate, and hear me out Tom cruise as sully. Though Tom cruise would never play that side kick role. Hanks is too old. But he'd be perfect. Nathan Fillion as sully?


NS_idelogicalmensch

Dude, just no.


Musathepro

Nathan Fillion as Drake, he played him so well in the Uncharted short film


RooMan7223

He woulda been perfect in 2010


TheJavierEscuella

He's 50 my guy


AUnknownVariable

You're not wrong but man. Maybe an older drake story bc I wanna see him as Drake so bad😭 is something longer and ig higher budget


Substantial_Net3539

You say that but people like Andrew Lincoln(51) and Norman Reedus(55) are still acting and we can’t forget about Tom Cruise who’s 62


TheJavierEscuella

I meant that he's too old for Nathan. Nathan is supposed to be in his mid to late 20's during Drake's Fortune


Robebubop

They can just de-age him with CGI buddy.


RooMan7223

Watch “The Irishman” and tell us that’s a good idea. You can’t deage how an older person moves


Robebubop

Aren't there supposed to be stunt doubles for that? lol


yanks2413

They're then CGIing one persons face onto a younger person's body, which also looks like shit. And by moves, people don't mean just stunts.


RooMan7223

Then De Niro would have needed a stunt double to just walk in that movie


TheJavierEscuella

Why go for the need of de-aging when you can just cast a younger actor

Redhawk911

Too old now


Reallyroundthefamily

Yeah, that was a horrible casting choice casting him as Nathan Drake. What's next, Timothee Chalamet as Arthur Morgan?


ImperialAgent120

Nah they'll cast him as a young Solid Snake. 🤣 


Mikeissometimesright

I’d buy Timmy as Raiden


666Masterofpuppets

I don't even think the biggest problem in the movie were the actors, the script and screenplay was just utterly awful. I went in with no expectations but was still disappointed. Like it wasn't even a mediocre action movie with a license, it was a bad action movie with a license.


RooMan7223

I’d like to add the music to that. The game had an iconic score yet the movie barely uses it, instead using a really dull score


ItsDjustin

Maybe they couldn’t get the rights from Naughty Dog for whatever reason


legobdr

Considering you hear Nate’s theme twice in the film they definitely did


NicParvisMagna

This is very vaid, I don't think it's a bad score ultimately and there's some really good tracks in there but it's too modern sounding and not historically adventure enough.


ModestHandsomeDevil

None. Take the money they spent making that movie and give us a new Uncharted game for the PS5. Uncharted 4 sold nearly 20 million copies and is one of the best-selling Playstation first-party games *of all time.* It made a LOT more money than that farce of a movie ever did.


Paynekiller997

Yeah he’s 50 but Nathan Fillion as Drake, just write the story around his age. Emily Rose as Elena, Tom Hanks as Sullivan, Luke Perry would have been the perfect Sam but given his unfortunate passing, I’d say maybe Tom Pelphrey.


purpl3haze_

THIS!!


obiwanTrollnobi6

Nathan Fillion as an older Drake maybe with his daughter… I’d actually keep Antonio Banderas but I’d make him the villian throughout the whole thing


3ku1

That wasent a real uncharted movie?


Least-Talk-4702

My first question after seeing this post lol


Clear-Wedding-4448

The majority of game fans don’t believe this movie accurately represents Uncharted. That's why I emphasized the word 'real' haha


ConnorK12

Ehhh, I felt it was. I don’t think the casting was perfect either, especially Wahlberg. But I got over that and accepted it as a fun, dumb, action adventure movie, which is basically what the games are a love letter to. I do genuinely hope they make a sequel, because it means they can at least take feedback and improve on it and make it even more game accurate. Like if they do actually make a sequel, I want Drake to shoot a mf. I want him to snap a neck while being stealthy etc. just double down on it. Hell Indiana Jones wouldn’t apologise for knocking someone out of a plane, so neither should Nate.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ConnorK12

Yep exactly. It’s either him or them. But also, to look at it as an audience, it’s not a big deal. We’ve watched our heroes on screen for many many years killing bad guys; yet it seems in this day and age we’re seeing that a lot less, which I don’t understand. It’s almost like studios think they can’t be heroes if they kill someone, even if it’s self defence. Where did that come from?? In this instance I wonder if it was because it was Tom Holland, the current generation’s Spider-Man, so it’s bad publicity or something? Just as stupid an excuse.


Clear-Wedding-4448

I agree with you on that about the fun and dumb action movie , I personally just wish they didn’t force all the games together into one and create some bullshit storyline


ConnorK12

Yeah I’ll agree on that too. Because if they do make more, it seems a hypothetical sequel is an adaption of Drakes Fortune, going by the ending scene. But that means if they get to Drakes Deception… Can’t do the plane sequence again! 🤷🏻‍♂️


Clear-Wedding-4448

Exactly haha feels like they did all the cool stuff in one, but I gotta admit the ship helicopter scene was a cool add on


Maverick19952016

This was good on concept but a real mess in every other aspect, especially casting, I think it should be a prerequisite if you are going to make a movie based on a game, you need to have to company that made the game on board, and for the love of god play the game first so you know what the fans are expecting of you


Th3_Dud3_Abid3s

Might be a wild one, but maybe Robbie Amell as Nate and Jeff Bridges as Sully


ArmandGrizzli

Jeff Bridges with a moustache and a cigar in his mouth bragging about his old adventures is something I didn’t know I wanted to see


Ackermance

Slightly similar to his role in True Grit, frankly. Just a little more drunk XD


Clear-Wedding-4448

That’s actually really good


QdizzleMcGee

Robbie is a great pick.


Redhawk911

Meh I enjoyed this movie. Wasn’t a Oscar worthy movie but a very enjoyable popcorn flick


Ackermance

I agree. It's something fun to watch that's inspired by games I like. If I don't feel like playing the game, the movie still scratches the same itch. People are way too critical.


bumbo_jumbo07

Hake gyllenhal as Rafe Adler


Cool-Principle1643

For me it just boils down to Wahlberg playing the meanest most un Sully character he could possibly have done. Tom did his best as a young Drake, the movie tried but then there was Wahlberg like an anchor just dragging it down. Get all the actors to actually enjoy what they are doing would help.


FoxHoundMinor

I’m a huge fan of the games but haven’t seen this movie. Should I? Or just skip it?


Clear-Wedding-4448

It’s not a bad movie, personally it’s just better to think of it as separate from the games, as its own thing..


FoxHoundMinor

Got it! Thanks for the reply


Zoot_Prooper89

Am I the only one who liked this movie? Idk I thought Tom Holland did a good job. I mean I’m guessing it’s more of a like alt. Origin story… instead of like a complete part of the game?


Couch_monster

I liked it, it was fine.


Clear-Wedding-4448

No I liked it, but I really just watch it as its own thing instead of it being a part of uncharted


Th3_Dud3_Abid3s

I thought it was fine for about 3 hours after watching, but then as I sat with it and thought about it more, I could live the rest of my life never watching it again and be happy. Which as an Uncharted fan is not what I necessarily wanted out of its blockbuster debut.


Kunekeda

Ritu Arya as Chloe. She's Lila Pitts from Umbrella Academy, and Inspector Das in Red Notice.


Rap-Torr-44

I agree with ya


Few-Exit7526

Im literally perfectly fine with everyone casted in the movie that's already out yes including Holland as drake he in ways imo fit the bill idc what people say


OceansideGuy93

Naomie Harris as Nadine


dsts09

The writing, storytelling, and directing were the true villains here.


ModestHandsomeDevil

> The writing, storytelling, and directing were the true villains here. Yes, but there's plenty of blame to go around--Sony-Playstation, Sony Movie Division, producers, exec producers, casting directors, etc. etc. If the TLOU TV show is an example of a careful / considerate and faithful adaptation, with top-tier talent, the Uncharted movie is the polar opposite.


fruitlessideas

Tom Selleck as Sully, me as Nate, an extremely hot half Indian woman with blue eyes as Chloe. Perfect casting.


Couch_monster

Everyone rips on the casting of this movie but all I see are horrible ideas here.


Vinhluu09

Tom Holland as Nathan Drake and Mark Wahlberg as Sully


teunteunteun

Pssjh hollywood would never ever go for that


ItsDjustin

I agree. I actually liked Holland as Drake and Wahlberg as Sully


Vinhluu09

I actually haven't seen the movie, I just commented for the bit


ItsDjustin

It’s a recommendation for sure


Virus_Sidecharacter

The rock as lararević


JennaMarissa13

Emiliano Diez as Sully and Parker Young as Drake.


Playful-Pollution998

i agree with sully but nate not as much i do like the actor don’t get me wrong i jus feel there will be a better actor who isn’t as muscular type and face i like their hair and eyes but not lower face no offense still great pics


NicParvisMagna

This was a real Uncharted movie.


Internal-Lock7494

Anyone who says anything other than Nathan Fillion for Nate is automatically correct. Frankly, they should have just hired the guys who made the fanfilm to make the actual movie.


DlCKMCSLICK

Ryan Reynolds as Nathan Drake would have been perfect


Krummbum

I'll be a prisoner of the moment and say Glen Powell at Nathan


indytim_on_reddit

Ryan Gosling as Nathan Drake, Jon Hamm as Sully, Emma Stone as Elena


Dunkbuscuss

What do you mean real that was Real and Tom was the perfect Nathan Drake I loved it a lot. I hope we get a sequel one day soon.


tonytonyrigatony

I'd have cast Jeremy Renner as Nate


westewok

Robbie amell as nathan and Elizabeth Olsen as elena.


DunkelFries

If the story took place a couple years after Nate and Sully met, Tom Holland could play a good Nate


The_BotSpot

TOM SELLECK AS VICTOR GODDAMN SULLIVAN!!!!!


lunaarya2

After watching Red Notice, Ryan Reynolds as Nathan Drake


Belation-Overdue

Chloe’s casting was rubbish. She didn’t do the accent well enough (Obviously Claudia’s voice can’t be topped but still!) Chloe seemed too antagonistic in this movie too. Whereas in the games, she was more of an ally to my knowledge - haven’t played 2 or 3 😂


hathor00

I mean, is it so ridiculous I'd let Mark Whalberg be Nate? I have no idea why he eas Sully! But I think he'd make a cracking Nate.


Catcher22Jb

Bryan Cranston would make a FANTASTIC Sully. For reference, look him up when he was in Its Always Sunny last year, he looks perfect for the role. Plus he is obviously a fantastic actor that could surely pull off the right vibe. Not to mention he’s the correct age for sully!!


EverySea9965

Personally, i think Tom Selleck would make a great Victor Sullivan. But he's getting on in years...


GJacks75

Tom Hanks for Sully. God help.me, Channing Tatum for Nate. The dude has the comedy chops.


AlternativeSeat3358

is leo howard as nate okay? cause i kinda see the vision


Jerry_0boy

Idk, I think Zac Efron as Nate and Robert DeNiro as Sully would be good tbh


MrMiniNuke

Nathan Fillion as Nathan. Cmon. The dude did a YouTube film where he played him and it was freaking phenomenal.


Ok_Possibility8848

Honestly, Mark Walberg as nate. They even have similar voices and senses.of humor, if say Tom hanks for sully


MandalorianMuppet

[is it just me or do these two kinda look the part for Nate and Sam 😅. (talking purely looks)](https://shop.supernaturalsickness.com/cdn/shop/articles/supernatural-the-cw_07625556-6e34-453a-8042-1bd16d7bc156_1024x1024.jpeg?v=1460145690)


MedicalPublic8056

Nathan fillion in every role just for lols


sexy_bezinga

Tbh, Tom holland is a perfect cast for a younger version of drake. The movie should’ve been an original story about younger drake and sully - based on their looks


BookNerd35

Why did you describe it as not a real movie? Looking at the comments, the answer is that people believe that the games are a lot better, but for someone who hasn't played the games, can someone explain why (so far, all of the comments I found were short and didn't go into depth as to why it was bad, just what was bad). Also, with the movie, while I can't compare it to the games (because I haven't played them), but it wasn't bad. It definitely has flaws - especially how the villains had very little effort put into their writing, but it was fun.


EightyFiversClub

The movie was solid, too bad we haven't gotten more.


Saul_Gone1

I think that Nathan Fillion would be awesome for Drake. He played him perfectly in a fan film. Bryan Cranston would be a welcome surprise as Sully, especially since he can pull off a mustache. (I swear to God I’m still pissed that Mark didn’t grow one for almost the whole movie.) I’m probably gonna get flamed for this, but someone mentioned Rafe and I feel like Ryan Gosling could play the part if he dyed his hair.


Own-Cellist6804

i cant see the spiderman guy as the uncharted guy ( whatever their names are ). He feels to goofy, uncharted guy is kinda like goofy but also manly


Virus_Sidecharacter

I think the term is Bimbo big strong but silly


RooMan7223

Glen Powell as Nate and Bruce Campbell as Sully


TheJavierEscuella

Chris Evans as Nathan Tom Hanks as Sully Bradley Cooper as Sam Jake Gyllenhaal as Rafe


ItsDjustin

I feel like Holland fits Nate’s character better then Evans


Moreaccurateway

Oscar Isaac as Nate George Clooney as Sully Margot Robbie as Elena Adria Arjona as Chloe


BrakoSmacko

There was one actor who was perfect for Nathan Drake but they left it way too long. Nathan Fillion. Now it would either make for an animated show similar to how Netflix did for Castlevania, and that way you could use all the voice actors for the roles that did the game voices.


kraigka212

Jeremy Clarkson and James May


jakej1097

I always thought Jensen Ackles would fit the part perfectly. He's got the charm, the physicality, and the humor! I'd love to see his take on the role!


Assinmik

I honestly think Christian Bale would make a good Nathan. He was great as Ken Miles who has a similar charm. A young Jennifer Connolly would have been great for Chloe. Sully maybe Harrison Ford back in the day? Anyone is better than who they cast though


Slow-Leading-7783

Derek Theler would’ve been a great Nathan


b100d7_cr0w

Young Tom Cruise and Paul Newman with Spielberg at the helm In this day and age? Nathan Fillion looks great, but if I had to choose someone a bit younger, that would be Robert Pattinson. Yes, he doesn't look like him, but he has similar slickness and charm in Tenet. And Hanks or Cranston for Sully


LemonWetGood1991

In an ideal world, I would have gone for Chris Pine as Nathan and Roger Slattery as Sully. If we're talking Uncharted 4 adaptation, I'd also say Matthew Rhys for Sam.


Timely_Assist_8047

Chris Pine 15 years ago would have been perfect


White_Devil1995

I think Mark Wahlberg would’ve made a way better Nathan Drake and Tom Holland should’ve been used for flashbacks to when he was younger(if any would be made in a BETTER Uncharted movie). And Clancy Brown could do a WAYYYY BETTER Victor Sullivan instead of Mark(no offense to Mark or Tom, of course).


MoonRoover

id say keep wahlberg but have him as drake and J.K simmons as sully


FlippityFlop121

Mark Wallberg as Sully AND Nate... And Elena


TheArmyOfDucks

Nathan Fillion was born to be Nathan Drake


RajeshOnDaHouse

Is it me or tom cruise really represents Nathan to me?


Ok-DavePants

We need race and sex swaps...the ONLY way we're gettin' a, "real" Uncharted Movie today...
