The 2022 "Uncharted" movie has released its first official trailer ahead of its February 2022 release. The film serves as an origin story and prequel to the hugely popular video game series of the same name.

The film stars Tom Holland as a young Nathan Drake and Mark Wahlberg as a younger version of Victor "Sully" Sullivan, who is known to be Nathan's mentor in the video games. The movie also stars Sophia Ali, Tati Gabrielle, and Antonio Banderas.

The movie is directed by Ruben Fleischer and will be distributed next year by Sony Pictures.

For fans of the "Uncharted" video game series, this is not the first time that they will encounter the younger versions of Nathan and Sully. The third game in the video game series, "Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception," tells the story of how Nathan and Sully met and even let players play as the young Nathan.
