No, Nathan Fillion is not in the action movie Uncharted.
Uncharted is a 2022 action-adventure movie from the United States. The story is based on a video game series with the same name made by Naughty Dog and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. It's directed by Ruben Fleischer and written by Rafe Lee Judkins, Art Marcum, and Matt Holloway.
Originally, it was supposed to come out on December 18, 2020 but because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the release got delayed. It finally had its first showing at the Coliseum in Barcelona on February 7, 2022, and then came out in theaters in the United States on February 18.
The opinions of critics about the movie were mixed. Some thought it didn't live up to the excitement of other adventure movies, but they liked the action scenes. The movie made $401.7 million all over the world. This made it the sixth movie based on a video game with the highest earnings ever.
Why was not Nathan Fillion in Uncharted?
The journey of bringing Uncharted to the screen has been quite a ride, starting back in 2008. There were multiple attempts to get it going, but they encountered setbacks and pauses. Different actors were considered for the lead role of Nathan Drake.
In 2009, Nathan Fillion kickstarted a movement showing his keenness for the part. Fans of the video game series supported his bid passionately. Eventually, Sony decided to make the movie a prequel to the games.
They chose Tom Holland to portray a younger Nathan Drake and Sony invested significantly in Uncharted, aiming for a top-tier star in the lead. While Fillion is popular and adored by many, his primary recognition comes from television, and his movie roles have been rather limited, especially in major parts.
Looking at the final decision, Sony clearly aimed for a big-name, well-recognized actor for the pivotal role of Nathan Drake. Despite Fillion's undeniable talent, he might not have reached that level of Hollywood stardom – not from the perspective of a studio thinking about broad appeal, both domestically and internationally.
