According to a report by Screenrant, The Devil of All Time star Tom Holland's movie follows Nathan Drake, a treasure hunter who travels the globe uncovering historical mysteries. Holland plays a younger Drake in the film version, which will serve as a prequel story to the plot of the games. Talking to Vanity Fair's Little Gold Men, he stated that his Uncharted persona Nathan Drake is not just an action hero in the vein of James Bond and Indiana Jones, but a perfect combination of those two iconic characters. Tom further stated that the easiest way to describe his character without belittling anyone in any way is like if Indiana Jones and James Bond had a baby.

He spoke more about how difficult his part was in the movie and said that it was an amazing experience and it was much more of a challenge than he expected it to be. He further added that it is a very different type of franchise movie from what he is used to. Holland stated that playing Peter Parker in Spiderman kind of feels like playing a version of himself, only a little bit younger, and portraying Nathan Drake is playing someone who he is very much not like and older than his actual age.
