After the recent success of the massively celebrated Uncharted fan film, directed by Allan Ungar and starring Nathan Fillion as Nathan Drake, fans' excitement toward a Sony produced flick featuring the character's adventures has skyrocketed, and with the action hero's icon level status in the gaming world, and Indiana Jones-esque adventures, Drake has been for many years now, the perfect protagonist for a blockbuster flick.

While we have already explored all of the nooks and crannies of Allan Ungar's brilliant fan film itself, in this earlier article, there are many possibilities when it comes to a big (well, most likely low in the world of Hollywood) budget film that we are yet cover.

Most fans have cited Fillion as the most appropriate choice to play the adventurer, hence his inclusion in the fan film, but recently, the current Spider-Man actor Tom Holland, has also been rumoured to be associated with Sony's live-action Uncharted. Whether Holland, Fillion or both end up in the role, a film based off of the major PlayStation series would almost certainly make for interesting viewing, whatever route it takes, speaking of potential directions, let's have a look at some.

5. An Origin Story

While Nathan Fillion may be the most popular choice when it comes to casting Nathan Drake, Tom Holland has also been rumoured to be playing the adventurer.

If the the young Marvel actor were to be cast as Drake, then it would make much more sense for a film to follow the early exploits of the character in an origin-style flick, especially due to Holland's age. However, it's not like the character's early exploits are uncharted, with the games having featured sections in which you play as a younger version of the adventurer, primarily in the last two games that is, meaning that an origin story would likely be set out of the original continuity.

Holland may not be the fan favourite choice, but as a young Nathan Drake, he has the potential to play the role satisfactorily, and maybe even set up sequels starring an older Drake, portrayed by Fillion .
