This almost goes without saying, but yes, the Uncharted movie is definitely getting a sequel. Sony Pictures confirmed the flick during its recent presentation at CineEurope, as reported by Variety.
The Uncharted film adapts Naughty Dog's beloved action adventure games series to the big screen, but rather than stick to the script laid down by these titles, it spins up an original take on the world and characters. It introduces Nathan Drake, portrayed by Tom Holland, who's recruited by Victor Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) to help him nab the Magellan treasure. It's a decent action movie with some great set-pieces and plenty of nods to the games.
Despite fans lamenting its casting choices, the film did very well at the box office, so it's no real surprise to see a sequel confirmed. Not only that, but the first film did quite clearly set up a sequel, even teasing the arrival of Sully's trademark moustache. We don't expect the second film will directly depict any events from the games, as it'll be continuing this new version of the universe.
Details about the sequel are non-existent right now, though we expect actors like Holland, Wahlberg, and Sophia Ali — who plays Chloe Frazer — will make their return. We imagine that director Ruben Fleischer will be back, too.

The first one was not good. I highly doubt the second will be any better
First film was great, will be interesting to see the story of the second.
Whether they follow the games again or drift off for their own thing.
First film was decent but not a true Uncharted film. I wonder if the success of TLOU will make them reconsider their approach.
@Icey664 I doubt it, while the movie was awful it was a commercial success. In the eyes of the film companies, why fix what's not broken.
First one was ok, needed more moustache.
I enjoyed it! Just a fun no-brains action film.
@FinneasGH Same. It was fun popcorn fodder. I don't think it was trying to be more than that.
I did prefer the movie's approach to storytelling - telling an original story that takes elements from the games - as opposed to a straight adaptation of a specific preexisting plot. That might work for The Last of Us where you have the long form storytelling of television but squeezing an Uncharted game into 2 hours isn't worth the effort. Do something different with the characters.
I hope Tom Hollands Drake goes on a killing spree and jokes as 100s of mercenaries are blown away
I thought the first one was decent. It definitely had its flaws but it was a fun adventure movie. Hoping the second one is an improvement
The first film was clearly an origin story for Sully smoking cigars and growing a moustache. And that's okay, it was fairly entertaining fluff, But... there is scope to make something a lot better because they have got all of that key stuff out of the way now 😁
As a huge Uncharted fan, the film was fun. Looking forward to more!
Haven't they done enough to sully this series already?
Film was garbage, no thanks.
I hope there are more shooting, please. There was a severe lacking of guns in the 1st.

I don't really have a point. Just thought it was amusing.
It's funny. I want to know from those who disliked it, why? Was it not just a fun action film like Bad Boys but more adventure oriented
I liked it! It was just a fresh adventure movie for relaxing. I call that fun
@Jey887 Was thinking the same. Opinions eh?
I just wanted a new AAA Uncharted game.
They could pick it up with Drakes daughter.
But there you go, we not allowed to make these games anymore.
We’re going to get 3 movies before another game releases
We liked it. For those who can’t recall from so long ago the first Uncharted game wasn’t good, it was no more than a PS3 tech demo which of course had to have zombies b/c everything had to have zombies back then. The 2nd game was the best interactive movie I still have ever experienced, liked it much better than the 3rd game and a little better than the 4th.
So from where I’m sitting the movies are already ahead of the game b/c the 1st movie was better than the first game. Now I don’t expect the 2nd movie to be anywhere near as good as the 2nd game but if it’s as good as the 3rd game I’d be ok w/ that.
Here’s the 1thing I don’t like about the games which I really wish they could fix in the future, it’s completely out of order chronologically. Nathan doesn’t even have a brother until the 4th game. I’d really like to be able to play Nathan’s story in order. I really hated the first half of 3, it only gets enjoyable when they get picked up in the airport in the desert halfway thru the game. It would be great to play Nathan from a kid, when he has a brother, to meeting Scully, to the UK years, to the bad first game, then have all the great scripted action from games 2, 3 and 4 at the end.
So that’s what I’m hoping and expecting from further movies, great set pieces w/ Nathan and the gang. And yetis. Yetis are the best.
@Jey887 Came here to make this observation, was not disappointed!
It’s almost like different people like different things. Amazing how few people grasp this, isn’t it?
I've still yet to see the movie, but it all feels a bit redundant — an action adventure film, based on a game, that was heavily inspired by action adventure films. Similar levels of bafflement I have with the idea of making an Until Dawn film.
Tom Holland has a 6 picture Sony deal.
Sony has a recognisable bankable franchise that you could get any room full of monkeys with typewriters to develop in a weekend.
Bish. Bash. Bosh. Bad film that people will go to because of the star and the title.
I do wonder about this. Success to follow up on sure but it was very close to Uncharted 4 with references to the others. So are we getting something new which would be interesting with something different then something of reference all the time? Similar to the others of Lost Legacy or the older ones? I do wonder about that.
Actors people can't wait to see, IP brand power, loyal fans of the actors/games/adventure film easy to get an audience if done well and whatever aside this film could go either way. But I mean if it's safe enough or odd enough in how they handle it sure.
That aside nice colour for the movies or others on the blue there. Really surprised me.
I enjoyed the first film, so I'm glad they're making another.
