Tom Holland has shared a new trailer for Uncharted – and clarified the difference between himself and Mark Wahlberg.
The first trailer for Uncharted, Sony's upcoming adaptation of PlayStation's hit video game series about a treasure-hunting adventurer, teased some playful sparring between Nathan Drake (Holland) and Sully (Wahlberg).
'Hey kid, little young for a bartender, aren't you?' Sully, wearing a dashing tux, says. 'Little old for prom aren't you?' Nathan retorts. Well, if the pair's witty interplay gets you excited, there's plenty more where that came from.

The Spider-Man: No Way Home star shared a short trailer for the movie to Instagram, teasing the $5 billion treasure at the heart of the story, the token use of an incomprehensible Scotsman, the sky-high plane set-piece and more banter. 'We better get small – or in your case, smaller,' Wahlberg's character says.
'You're only like one inch taller than me,' Holland's Nathan replies. 'I think it's a little more than that kid,' Sully says. In Holland's caption, he also wrote, 'For the record, @markwahlberg is 5’9 to my 5’8.'
The official synopsis for Uncharted reads, 'Street-smart thief Nathan Drake (Holland) is recruited by seasoned treasure hunter Victor 'Sully' Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) to recover a fortune lost by Ferdinand Magellan 500 years ago.
'What starts as a heist job for the duo becomes a globe-trotting, white-knuckle race to reach the prize before the ruthless Moncada (Antonio Banderas), who believes he and his family are the rightful heirs. If Nate and Sully can decipher the clues and solve one of the world’s oldest mysteries, they stand to find $5 billion in treasure and perhaps even Nate’s long-lost brother... but only if they can learn to work together.'
Uncharted has emerged on the other side of development hell, with the movie changing hands several times over the years, eventually landing in the hands of Venom director Ruben Fleischer. By that point, the process had become quite 'stressful', Holland said.
'Some of [the directors] came in, and had ideas that we didn't like, that just didn't fit the characters, and we had to move on to other people,' he told Total Film.
'We took inspiration from everyone. There were very different variations of Drake, and very different variations of Sully. Some people preferred to make the game, some people wanted to make it completely different to the game. It was an interesting process – one that I wouldn't like to be in again. It's quite stressful looking for a director.'
Uncharted hits UK cinemas on February 11.
