Meet the cast of video game adaptation Uncharted
Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg lead the cast for the new film.
Film adaptations of video games aren't always met with the most positive of receptions – but the latest film to try and break that curse is Uncharted, which is released in cinemas this week.
The film serves as a prequel to the games of the same name, as a pair of fortune hunters aim to get their hands on the greatest treasure never found – a quest that proves to be even more dangerous than they might have imagined.
Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg lead the cast, both playing popular characters from the games, and they're joined by some impressive support, including Antonio Banderas as the antagonist – a ruthless treasure hunter who will stop at nothing to get his hands on what he believes to be rightfully his.
Read on for everything you need to know about the cast, including details of their characters and where you're likely to have seen them before.
