Holland’s co-star, Mark Wahlberg revealed to The Wrap that many ideas for the movie had been suggested, some having him in the role of Drake, but he believes the current idea to be the best: “I’m familiar with the games, but I think this is going to be a nice segue into Nathan becoming Nathan Drake, which I think it will be really cool for audiences.
Prior to the release of the movie, Tom Holland has already criticized his performance as the film’s protagonist Nathan Drake.
You’re going to get a lot of eyeballs on this, so I think it’s going to be a fun romp of a movie.”
I was attached for years and years to play Nathan Drake and now I’m playing Sully!”
