Uncharted 2 is still shrouded in mystery in movie circles, though official confirmation hasn’t come yet despite its predecessor’s success and various indications it will follow suit. While we wait for updates regarding this potential sequel, here is what is known so far about its production.
Is Uncharted 2 Happening?
Sony has not yet given an official greenlight to Uncharted 2. However, there are signs that suggest another Nathan Drake adventure. Uncharted is expected to gross over $400 million by early 2022, and Sony’s Tom Rothman has referred to it as a ‘brand new franchise. Charles Roven, the producer, has recently made comments that add to the optimism. They highlight the popularity and potential appeal of this film both among fans as well as new audiences.
Uncharted 2: When can we expect it to be released?
It’s difficult to pinpoint a release date due to the Hollywood strike and lack of an official announcement. Nathan Drake’s big-screen next adventure could be delayed until 2025, or even beyond, due to the current circumstances. The length of the Hollywood strike will have a major impact on the timeline for the sequel.
Uncharted 2: Who will star in it?
Tom Holland made a lasting impact as Nathan Drake in Avatar and is an ideal candidate to reprise this role in future franchises. Mark Wahlberg is also expected to reprise his role as Victor ‘Sully Sullivan’.
Sophia Ali’s Chloe Frazer was a memorable character in the first film, hinting at her return in the sequel. The dynamic between Chloe Frazer and Nathan hinted at romance, but fans were left on a cliffhanger with the two characters at opposite ends.
Nathan’s brother Sam was believed to be deceased when Nathan first returned, making the subsequent sequel all the more unexpected and unpredictable. While we do not yet know which actor will portray Sam, their presence could play an essential role. Ruben Fleischer has mentioned that he had a list of actors in mind. However, the character is still a mystery.
Are we going to see the return of antagonists?
Antonio Banderas played Moncada in the first film, but his tragic ending ruled out a return. Tati Gabrielle’s Braddock had an ambiguous ending. Nathan Drake’s action-packed universe is known for its unexpected twists and turns. It’s therefore not impossible.
What direction will the plot take?
The first film ended on a hint for a possible sequel. Nathan’s relationship with Chloe developed in an interesting way, which leaves room for more exploration. The credits scene also dropped hints that Nate had a brother named Sam, which could lead to a family reunion in the future.
Details are scarce but it is clear that Uncharted 2’s foundation has been laid. It involves relationships, betrayals and breathtaking adventures. The stage has been set for a grander story that will delve into Nathan Drake’s past and future challenges.
Uncharted 2 is still one of the most awaited sequels even without an official confirmation. The predecessor left several loose ends and hints for future stories. As this has laid the groundwork for an intriguing sequel, all we are waiting on now is for its official announcement – fans of both Nathan Drake’s adventures in game and movie form alike are excitedly anticipating his latest chapter!
