If you are a fan of the games, you would think that the movie would be about Nathan Drake. The new trailer for the Sony movie seems to remind you that it is a sequel to the games where Drake is an apprenticeship to Victor Sullivan, which means the two actors are going to be sharing the spotlight even if Holland's Drake is not.
It looks like the movie will be more about Sully than it is about Drake, since it was originally cast as that. It makes sense, since the prequel starts out with Drake as a humble bartender without any treasure-hunting experience, as well as what seems to be him betraying Drake several million times. It is odd that Sony would release a trailer for the movie less than a week after Tom Holland opened the second-biggest movie premiere of all time with Spider-Man: No Way Home.
The plot of the movie seems to be overcomplicated, including a mystery involving Drake's brother, a series of clues scattered throughout various ruins and artifacts, and more. The plot of the video games is wildly overcomplicated. I am extremely down with people jumping from one flying ship onto another.
Ruben Fleischer is the director of the film, which is set to premiere on February 18, 2021.
