We wouldn’t blame you if you forgot that the Uncharted movie came out in 2022 and grossed an estimated $400 million worldwide. We wouldn’t blame you if you forgot that Mark Wahlberg was supposed to play Sully in the same movie. Well, he has now confirmed that filming for the second part is about to begin.
Naughty Dog’s last two video game series have been successful on both the big and small screens, so it makes sense that Sony Pictures and PlayStation Productions would want to make Uncharted 2 sooner rather than later. Whether they can start filming this year remains to be seen.

Screen Rant recently spoke with Wahlberg, who has been busy filming movies like The Six Billion Dollar Man and The League recently, and got some insight from him on the status of Uncharted 2 Valuable information. Sony has remained silent, but it looks like filming could begin as early as this year. “Actually,” Wahlberg explained, “I just got a call today and they got the script. I couldn’t grow a real beard, but they said, ‘Start growing a beard. It’s going to take a while.'” I’m interested to see what the story is like and where this adventure will take us. But I’m excited; I know audiences really enjoyed the first one, so we’ll see. “
While critics and gamers weren’t too kind to the first Uncharted, Wahlberg isn’t wrong in saying that general audiences enjoyed it; it earned a 40% critical approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and a unanimous 40% from users. The positive reviews are as high as 90%. Likewise, its 2022 CinemaScore is a B+ – very respectable for a video game adaptation.
Now that the script is nearing completion (with further rewrites expected to be reasonable), a bigger question mark is whether Tom Holland (Nathan Drake) will be able to star in the role that Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures hope to have in the near future. ’s future continues with his fourth Spider-Man movie. Otherwise, the actor has been taking a break from acting and enjoying a simpler life with Zendaya.
