10 Biggest Missed Opportunities In Recent Movies

10. Including Elena Fischer - Uncharted

After spending so long in development hell that Mark Wahlberg literally grew too old to play his original role, Sony was finally able to release Uncharted in 2022, with Tom Holland stepping in to play the part of Nathan Drake.

As far as video game adaptations go it was a fun but flawed outing, and there was one fundamental aspect that needed to be different. Namely, the inclusion of Elena Fischer.

In the game series, Elena is as important to the story and the franchise itself as either Drake or Sully, and her omission from the big screen is a real head-scratcher.

While Chloe Frazer (Sophia Ali) was seemingly utilised instead of Elena, there is no reason that both characters couldn't have played meaningful roles, as was the case through both Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception.

The likelihood is that Elena will be in Sony's Uncharted plans eventually should a sequel be developed, and there are certain things that point to said sequel working as a loose adaptation of the first game, Drake's Fortune, in which Elena and Nate first meet. However, while Uncharted did surprisingly well at the box office, mixed reviews mean a second outing is far from guaranteed. Elena simply should have been there from the very beginning.
