10 Delayed Movies That Will Land In 2021 And Still Bomb At The Box Office
1. Uncharted
As mentioned earlier in this article, the video game movie is currently in the midst of a mini-resurgence, but any project that spends a decade stuck in development hell will always be surrounded by question marks regardless of genre, and Uncharted is no different.
Having originally been announced in 2008, Uncharted will finally arrive in theaters next July, and there's every reason to suspect that it could be the next big-budget video game adaptation consigned to the cinematic scrapheap. Ever since their big break with Iron Man, writers Art Marcum and Matt Holloway have since gone three-for-three with box office duds Punisher: War Zone, Transformers: The Last Knight and Men in Black: International, and their latest effort Morbius may well suffer the same fate.
Director Ruben Fleischer has never lived up to his early potential as a director, while Mark Wahlberg's action-orientated fare is often among the very worst of his output. Even leading man Tom Holland has never headlined a blockbuster outside of the confines of the MCU before, and with Uncharted landing in a stacked month alongside Jurassic World: Dominion, Top Gun: Maverick, Chris Pratt's The Tomorrow War, Jungle Cruise and The Suicide Squad, it would be doing well just to keep its head above water, never mind top the box office.
