Tom Holland is swinging into theatres this weekend, but what has him trending on social media today is a newly revealed poster for the much-awaited filmUncharted. In full Nathan Drake avatar, Holland is seen at a shipwreck that is reminiscent of theUnchartedgames. Drake’s trusted buddy, Mark Wahlberg’s Victor Sullivan, a.k.a. Sully, walks with him.
TheUnchartedposter was shared on Twitter by Fandango and retweeted by Sony Pictures. It reiterates the film’s release date of Aug 07, 2025, which was already confirmed inthe firstUnchartedtrailer, and also informs fans of the film’s IMAX release.

It is already expected that Drake and Sully will be travelling through some treacherous lands inthe live-actionUnchartedfilm, and the poster only further confirms it. The characters are seen on what appears to be a rocky shoreline, and the looming shipwreck in the background acts as a warning sign of oncoming danger. There aren’t any big reveals in the poster, though, and fans don’t get to see anything that they haven’t already seen before. Many fans on social media did complain about the lighting in the poster, with many upset over a bad editing job. Additionally, Sully’s mustache is still missing in action, which fans of theUnchartedgames are not too thrilled about.
TheUnchartedgames franchise is one of the most popular ones to have been released so far on the PlayStation console. As of December 2017, the Naughty Dog series had sold more than 41 million units. This figure was accumulated within a decade of the first game’s release, withUncharted: Drake’s Fortunearriving on the PlayStation 3 in November 2007. The last game in the franchise,Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, has been the most popular in the series and in three years of its release, it had sold 15 million copies.
The games have a large loyal fanbase andHolland’s upcomingUnchartedmoviehas to live up to their expectations. Granted the movie will be seen by the mass audiences, but any time a game-adaptation is released, it is only natural to compare it with its counterpart. There have been very few live-action films based on game franchises that have truly made a mark in Hollywood. It remains to be seen ifUnchartedwill beat the competition.
