I actually like Holland as a different take on Spiderman.
But Drake? No.

And that's why these movies usually suck. If Nathan Drake isn't Nathan Drake then what's the point? The property is popular for a reason. He may as well be a person because he is distinct and consistently written.Bottom line is they went with the guy they thought would make the most money, we've already seen the Nathan Drake you are talking about in the games doing those things, it's probably easier to go with a younger actor who's hot right now as well as multi talented vs trying to find some other nobody to fit the part. All of the people I've seen suggested are too old and anyone in the right age range is going to be controversial because there is nobody I can think of at least who really would come across a real life Nathan Dre looks wise.
Probably because they are going for mainstream appeal. After the Spiderman and Avengers movies more people know about Tom Holland than Nathan Drake, Uncharted, or most other candidates for the role who would have fit better.And that's why these movies usually suck.

I can understand that and it makes sense. But from a fan of UC, the character, as played by Holland, doesn't look believable. He looks goofy, and dare I say a bit more feminine. Polar opposite of Drake in the UC games. To me it would almost be like trying to cast Holland for John Wick. Just not believable as the character.Probably because they are going for mainstream appeal.

Yeah, I agree. I don't like it either, but this just feels like a situation where they wanted to find a movie for Holland and Uncharted was coming up so they just put the two together.I can understand that and it makes sense.

I still say Mark Wahlberg would have been better as Drake than as Sully. And no, Holland couldn't pull off Sully either.
The exact same thing happened with the movie American Assassin which is based off the Mitch Rapp books by author Vince Flynn. Mitch Rapp's character did not match that of Dylan O'Brien. Fellow fans of the series mentioned a bunch of actors that could have pulled it off better, and they truly would have been better.
And with that soapbox, I will be watching it on day one because I love Uncharted.
Ironically, Walberg was set to star as Drake. But the project was stuck in development hell and as time passed the studio felt he aged-out of the project mostly because they are trying to start a franchise with sequels. So he opted for a supporting role with producing credits. You might be surprised just how many film/TV projects are produced by Walberg.I can understand that and it makes sense.

I may very well be terrible most video game movie adaptions are but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt until I see it, Holland is a talented guy.And that's why these movies usually suck.
