Uncharted 2: Mark Wahlberg Confirms Sequel Script Is Being Written

Mark Wahlberg has confirmed that a sequel to 2022’s Uncharted is currently being written.

Speaking with The Direct, Wahlberg revealed that a script for Uncharted 2 is currently in development.

“I’ve heard lots of different ideas,” he said. “I know somebody’s written a script, and they’re still working on it, and it would consist of having the mustache the whole entire time. Which completely makes sense; obviously, in that final scene, I have the mustache.”

Mark Wahlberg doesn’t want to boogie with prosthetics

Speaking further on Sully’s facial hair, Mark Wahlberg continued, “I spent quite a bit of time growing it because, at one point, we tried to do it with a fake mustache, and, I don’t know. I just don’t have the confidence to pull it off. It just feels like there’s a big piece of tape over my mouth, and I feel ridiculous. I admire actors who can wear wigs and prosthetics and makeup and all that stuff. I’ve successfully worn one prosthetic, but that was long ago.”

He concluded, “When I finally got the mustache, people really appreciated it. And it was a nice tag to the end of that film. So if we can make it better than the first, you know, I’d be open to it, but I only know as much as you do right now.”

Uncharted released in United States theaters in February 2022. Directed by Ruben Fleischer, the movie starred Tom Holland as Nathan Drake, Antonio Banderas as Santiago Moncada, Sophia Ali as Chloe Frazer, Tati Gabrielle as Jo Braddock, and Ruby Pankow as Sam Drake alongside Wahlberg. Uncharted made $407.1 million at the global box office off of a budget of approximately $120 million.

Word about a possible Uncharted 2 has been relatively quiet since the release of the first film; although, there have been reports that Sony is potentially looking to turn the property into a franchise. Producer Charles Raven also told The Hollywood Reporter in August 2023, “We had a really good time with that movie. The fans really liked the movie, and people who didn’t know anything about the game really liked the movie. So we are definitely looking to make another one of those.”

Uncharted is currently streaming on Netflix.
