![]() Perhaps one of the simultaneously both successful and more muted attempts to escape Marvel’s snug box office armor is from the biggest star the MCU ever minted: Robert Downey Jr. We’re here to look at both the most and least successful attempts to step outside of Marvel’s shadow. And this weekend’s Uncharted is nothing if not a chance for Holland to prove audiences love to see him in more than just a red and blue onesie.Īt various times most Marvel actors have tried to launch a second franchise, some to success and others to painful derision. It is, after all, good business to diversify your image, particularly if one is in need of proving their movie star bonafides. Nevertheless, it’s worth considering that many Marvel Studios leading men and women have attempted to step away from the secure, yet also form-fittingly tight image of the Marvel logo. “Maybe what’s best for Spider-Man is that they do a Miles Morales film… if I’m playing Spider-Man after I’m 30, I’ve done something wrong.” Holland turns 26 in June.Īdmittedly, these public comments could be perceived as strong-arm tactics intended to persuade Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios into a significant pay rise going forward. “Maybe it is time to move on,” Holland told GQ in November, ahead of the release of No Way Home and this month’s Uncharted. He said as much while promoting the biggest Spider-Man movie of all-time, last year’s Spider-Man: No Way Home. ![]() To put a finer point on it, Holland doesn’t want to be playing Spider-Man in as few as five years. Despite so-so reviews, the film opened above projections with $51 million domestically and $55.4 million globally for a sizable worldwide total of $106.4 million over the extended President's Day weekend.Tom Holland doesn’t want to play Marvel Studios’ Spider-Man forever. Uncharted is now playing in theaters everywhere. ![]() The movie's mid-credits sequence definitely seems to be pointing in that direction with Nathan and Sully (Mark Wahlberg) after an old Nazi map - presumably one that leads to the fabled Tibetan location of Shambhala from the game series. You’re doing great.'”Įven if he's not asked back for another adventure, however, the actor still has high hopes for a potential follow-up film, which he'd like to see feature elements from the second game, Among Thieves. “‘You’re the guy from the beach! I’ve been watching you, kid. If a sequel is made, the man behind the virtual iteration of the globe-trotting treasure hunter has an idea of how he can return. “Maybe some day they find Drake’s long-lost father, I’d be old enough by then,” North said. I waved and they didn’t scream, but that’s OK. There were crowds of young girls waiting to see him come off the set, and he waved and they screamed. "At the beach, there were so many extras and people who wanted to see him. They always were perfect."Īs for Holland's performance, North was impressed, "not only his talent, but the person he is and watching him interact with the cast and crew," he continued. It’s a quick little thing, and it works for the scheme of the film and it’s fun. I was adamant with them, I didn’t want it to be self-indulgent. From what we did, it’s just enough of a nod that everyone goes, ‘Ah, that’s the guy!’ And then we’re right back into the film. "I told them, ‘I don’t need to be in the movie just to be in the movie.' I don’t like to be taken out of a movie. “I think cameos can be touchy," he explained. In the end, he agreed to take part in the project, viewing the guest role as something similar to Stan Lee popping up throughout the MCU. Speaking with Variety about the short exchange, North admitted that he wasn't entirely sold on the idea of making an appearance. A man lounging in the sun (North) asks, "Whoa, what the hell happened to you two?" Without batting an eye, Nathan responds, "Fell out of a car that fell out of a plane." This doesn't seem to faze the man who answers: "Huh, you know.something like that happened to me once." ![]() Young Nathan (Tom Holland) and Chloe Frazer (Sophia Ali) stumble out of the ocean and onto the beachside property of a luxury resort in the Philippines. North, who voices Nathan Drake in the hit video game series published by Naughty Dog, appears just after the big action set piece on Moncada's cargo plane that was ripped straight out of the third game in the franchise, Drake's Deception. ![]() Now that Uncharted is finally playing on the big screen, voice actor Nolan North has opened up about his meta live-action cameo in the blockbuster film adaptation. ![]()
