Mark Wahlberg teases script for Uncharted sequel

Dec 10, 2023 2:28 PM

Fans of the action-adventure film Uncharted are in for a treat as reports indicate that a sequel script is underway. Mark Wahlberg, who portrayed Victor "Sully" Sullivan in the first movie, hinted at the development of an Uncharted movie sequel. Despite mixed reviews from critics, the financial success of the first film has led Sony to label it as a now budding franchise. The sequel, while not officially confirmed by Sony, seems to be in the scripting stages, according to Wahlberg.

In a nod to the video game series, Wahlberg mentioned the iconic moustache that Sully sports, and how it became a part of his character at the end of the first film β€” signaling continuity for the character's look in the potential sequel. Wahlberg emphasized the importance of the moustache as part of Sully's character, shared his preference for growing the real thing over using a fake, and expressed openness to improving upon the first film in the sequel. However, he conveyed that the development is still in early stages; thus, fans may have to wait a bit longer before catching the sequel on screen, implying that production might not start until the following year.

When can we expect the release of the Uncharted movie sequel?

Given the current status of script development and the anticipation of potential production starting next year, it's likely that the Uncharted movie sequel will not hit theatres for a few years. An exact release date has not been provided.

Gotta say, Wahlberg embracing Sully's signature stache is the kind of character commitment I'm here for, and it looks like Sony is banking on that same attention to detail to expand the Uncharted universe into a bona fide film series. Fingers crossed that the sequel finds the sweet spot between the games' treasure-hunting thrills and a story that resonates with both newcomers and die-hard fans.

Wahlberg's dedication to the 'stache for Sully is the kind of character commitment that can really bring that extra touch of authenticity to a sequel. Looks like we'll have to be patient adventurers, though, as the journey to Uncharted's next cinematic treasure hunt seems to be more of a marathon than a sprint. πŸŽ₯πŸ—ΊοΈ
