Holland will play treasure hunter Nathan Drake, who travels the world uncovering various historical artifacts. Wahlberg will play Victor “Sully” Sullivan, an American treasure hunter, fortune seeker and businessman who serves as a friend, mentor and father figure to Drake. Coincidentally, Wahlberg was going to star as Drake several years ago when David O. Russell was going to direct the Uncharted movie, which cycled through several directors before landing on Knight, who seems like the right fit for the job. Wahlberg and Knight are also slated to work together on The Six Billion Dollar Man at Warner Bros. Meanwhile, at 48, Wahlberg makes sense to play the protagonist’s mentor, and his casting has to be seen as a coup for Sony.

He’s currently filming Antoine Fuqua‘s sci-fi/action movie Infinite at Paramount. Wahlberg is represented by WME and Leverage Management, and his casting was first reported by Variety.
