Mark Wahlberg Was Previously Cast As Nathan Drake Now Playing Sully 14 November 2019 by Lara Jackson It’s been a bit of a hellish journey for the supposedly-upcoming Uncharted movie and at the rate it’s going, I can’t imagine Nathan Drake will ever make it onto the silver screen. Early scripts, directors and actors have all come and gone since the movie was first announced several years ago, with the most-recent change-up being the departure of director, Dan Trachtenberg.

Wahlberg was originally cast as the one and only Nathan Drake when the project was in its infancy, though he’s now taken the role of potty-mouthed mentor Victor Sullivan.

Earlier this year it was rumoured that the role of Sully would potentially be going to Bryan Cranston, something which the original Nathan Drake was all on board for.ADVERT ADVERT Credit: Naughty Dog During MCM ComicCon Scotland, GameByte spoke exclusively with Nolan North, the actor behind Uncharted’s Nathan Drake, regarding the rumour. “Bryan Cranston would be a fantastic Sully. I know, I’ve said this before, I think the direction they want to take is Drake in his 20s. And they’ll take some artistic license, and I love it, because don’t try and mimic what the games did,” Nolan said.

I’ve done it, been there, done that. And I cannot play Drake in his 20s, I can’t play anybody in his 20s anymore. And I think Tom Holland will knock it out of the park, he’s charming, he has the right look. Add Bryan Cranston to that kind of a cast and it’s bound to be good.” Featured Image Credit: Naughty Dog TweetShareSharePin Follow us on @GameByte @gamebyte GameByte GameByte GameByte Noobs Play @GameByte @gamebyte GameByte GameByte GameByte Noobs Play External Links Policy GameByte Staff About GameByte Advertise with us Careers Ambassador Program Contact Terms and Conditions Privacy Policy Cookie Policy Manage Cookies Preferences Submit Your Content FragHero Sporf 9 to 5 Life Social Chain Social Chain Agency
