10 Perfect Castings For Nathan Drake In Seth Gordon's Uncharted Adaptation

8. Jeremy Renner

This is a bit of an interesting choice as Jeremy Renner is a very under-appreciated actor who just needs the right role to truly shine in. He's also no stranger to doing straight action films; it's just that aside from playing Hawkeye in the Marvel Universe, the films just aren't very good (The Bourne Legacy, Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters). Sure, he had The Hurt Locker, but you'd think any Uncharted adaptation would be played with the straight bat of Renner's lesser efforts. Alongside Kathryn Bigelow's bomb-disposal drama, Renner was also a major player in the 10-time Oscar nominated American Hustle, proving that when he's given some sharp material to work with, he can turn into a scene stealer. It€™s just that even in his good movies he€™s unfortunately also an overlooked character in the grand scheme of things. Case in point, The Avengers. If you take all of these elements and combine them, one worthy Nathan Drake could be born along with a breakout Hollywood star. Like all actors on this list, Jeremy Renner also bears a similar resemblance to the digital treasure hunter.
