Our Best Look Yet at Uncharted’s Adventurers
The new images give us a good look at the main players in this epic action-adventure, offering our best look yet at Sophia Taylor Ali’s character, Chloe Frazer, with her and Holland’s Nathan Drake exploring a dark cave and looking every bit theIndiana Jones-style adventurers that the movie will no doubt hope to create. As it happens, Tom Holland has previously comparedUnchartedto the likes offamous cinematic iconsIndiana JonesandJames Bondsaying, “I think the easiest way to describe the film without belittling it in any way is like if Indiana Jones and James Bond had had a baby, it would be Nathan Drake. That is the way I keep describing the film.”
Not content with simply transforming Tom Holland into aJames Bond-type,Unchartedwill also give audiences a different, bulkier version of the actor, who was inspired (and intimidated) by his co-star, Mark Wahlberg into putting on some muscle mass. “When we went to set for the first time, I saw Mark Wahlberg [who plays mentor figure Sully], and Mark is massive. He is a unit,” Holland said of meeting his co-star. Thankfully, he was able to hit the gym during a temporary pause in filming, with Holland explaining, “We went home for five months, all I did was eat and train, eat and train, eat and train – to put a bit of timber on, to make me look not like a child next to Mark.”
Efforts to bringUnchartedto the big screen have been fraught with difficulty, with the Sony project facing several setbacks. Originally set for release way back in June 2016,Unchartedwas pushed to June 2017, then December 2020, then to March 2021, before being delayed again until October 2021. The movie was then moved up to August 18, 2025, before settling on a release date of July 15, 2025.Unchartedhas since been pushed back another week, with the movie now scheduled to be theatrically released by Sony Pictures Releasing in the United States on August 26, 2025.
