Uncharted Movie Sequel "Definitely" Might Happen, Producer Says
Sony’s Uncharted movie starring Tom Holland as Nathan Drake and Mark Wahlberg as Sully is one of the highest-grossing video game movies ever, but fans have been left wondering if the film will get a sequel. Producer Charles Roven is optimistic about that possibility, but nothing is ever certain in Hollywood.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Roven was asked if there continues to be a desire to make an Uncharted sequel, and he said, “Oh yeah!”
“We had a really good time with that movie. The fans really liked the movie, and people who didn’t know anything about the game really liked the movie. So we are definitely looking to make another one of those,” Roven added.
Uncharted made more than $400 million globally, which places it No. 6 on the all-time highest-grossing video game movie charts. The Super Mario Bros. Movie is far and away No. 1, with more than $1.3 billion.
The Uncharted movie was directed by Venom’s Ruben Fleischer, who has said it was no accident that the film ends with a tease that there might be more to the story.
“It was important to me that this movie ends for audiences with the suggestion Nate and Sully are going to be partnered on more adventures in the future. I didn’t love them just flying off into the sunset,” he said. “This movie’s about these two guys coming together as a team, so I wanted to leave the audience with the feeling this isn’t the last we’ll see of these guys. But ultimately the audience will decide if they want to see more. That’ll come down to how much they like the film and whether or not they want to go see a sequel.”
As for whether or not he would want to be involved in a sequel, Flesicher said he “absolutely” would.
“I would be thrilled. As an avid fan of not only genre films, but also history, it was like a dream come true getting to shoot this movie. I was a history major in college, and I’ve always had a passion for all things antiquity. I can’t tell you how excited I would be to get to make another one,” he said.
Fleischer already has ideas for a potential Uncharted movie sequel, recently discussing how he would love to put Uncharted 4’s epic car chase scene into a new Uncharted film.
