He still dished out the quick witty remarks, but they still felt more Peter Parker than Nathan Drake. Maybe it has a lot to do with how similar the two characters are, but I still see Peter Parker without the Spider-Man suit. In my opinion, what I saw in the Uncharted trailer was Tom Holland being more Peter Parker than Nathan Drake. He eventually spat it out in the very end, but I had to see more. It was a good start, but I was waiting for him to shout out his famous, “Oh, crap!” line. When he meets Victor “Sully” Sullivan, he responds to his facetious sarcasm with his own. Right off the bat, he was doing what he should be. Fans who watched the trailer will know that there are many holes in that, but I kept observing Tom Holland trying to be Nathan Drake.

So Tom Holland is good at that, but does that mean he can do the same for Nathan Drake? He probably can, but we got a little taste of that in the new trailer for the Uncharted movie.Ī little spoiler alert, this movie is meant to be a prequel to the games. Of course, we love Spider-Man for doing that, because that’s the character. He’s good with Peter Parker’s sarcasm, his quick wittiness, and that annoying ability to taunt his enemies by being facetious. You know, that sounds a lot like Peter Parker, doesn’t it? Now we all know Tom Holland is good at playing that role. Every other word out of his mouth is a witty comeback and it never gets old. Oh, and once again, he’s just funny to listen to. However, when push comes to shove, he’ll always come through in the end and do the right thing. He’s a very human hero and he makes mistakes. What makes Nathan Drake awesome is that he can be funny and he is a thief, but he’s a true hero at his core. It was sure fun having him do those things, but just listening to him talk was a treat. Heck, it’s a part of his combat and stealth abilities. Seriously, how does he do it? Eh, that doesn’t really matter, because he looks cool while he’s doing it. Oh, and he’s like the assassins from the Assassin’s Creed games, because he has that ridiculously amazing ability to climb just about anything. He’s funny, he’s sarcastic, and he’s a tough cookie. I think Nathan Drake is one of the greatest video game protagonists of all time. With that in mind, I am a big fan of the Uncharted games. Now his casting hasn’t been well received by the Uncharted fans, but I’m all for giving the actor the benefit of the doubt.

If you play the Uncharted games, you should already know he’s playing Nathan Drake in an upcoming live-action movie set for next year.

Oh, but I’m not talking about characters from comic books. He’s capable of being a bigger star outside of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but he’s already taking on more popular characters. Good for Tom Holland, because I can see him getting only bigger with his roles. The good thing about his acting is that even if the movie is forgettable, he can still deliver on his performance. Both of those movies didn’t get the best critical reception, but his performance was praised in both of them. He stepped it up even further with crime drama Cherry, where he plays an Army veteran suffering from PTSD, and dystopian action flick Chaos Walking with Daisy Ridley. I mean, that movie was all kinds of serious in a more twisted fashion, but Tom Holland was good. Check out Tom Holland’s performance in The Devil All the Time was enough to convince me that he can carry a serious role. Last year, he was starred in three movies that were quite the opposite of his famous Peter Parker role. On top of being in several Marvel movies, the guy has been starring in more movies that really showcase his acting abilities. Ever since he was cast as Peter Parker, or Spider-Man, in 2016’s Captain America: Civil War, he’s been riding on the upward hill to stardom. Unless you just haven’t been watching movies for the last four years, you’ll know that Tom Holland is becoming a mega star.
