Despite mixed reviews, 2022's Uncharted proved to be a box office success, making well over three times its budget. With such a strong box office performance, there is no surprise that talks of a sequel have been prominent.

Addressing Criticisms and Improvements

One of the biggest criticisms around Uncharted was the film's cast, with some fans upset over who was playing the key characters. There were arguments that Nathan Fillion would have been a better fit to play Sully in Uncharted or even the protagonist, Nathan Drake, who he plays in the game.

Uncharted 2 already looks like it will try and solve some of the first film's issues after Mark Wahlberg provided a recent update on the movie. Despite this, elements of the characters from the games were missing in the movie, something Wahlberg seems to be addressing in the proposed sequel.

Making Sully More Game Accurate

After taking onboard some of the criticism from the first movie, Uncharted 2 seems to be taking steps towards providing a more game accurate Sully. Mark Wahlberg hinted at the return of Sully's mustache in Uncharted 2, mentioning he'd be open to growing it for the sequel. The mustache may seem like a small detail, but it is a crucial part of making the films feel more like the games, something the fans of the franchise will demand from the sequel.

If Uncharted 2 can fix Mark Wahlberg's Sully, it would be the key to improving the sequel. Giving Sully his iconic mustache would be a start in making Wahlberg's character feel more like the Sully from the games. With Uncharted's post-credits featuring Sully's mustache and Wahlberg's comments suggesting it'll be prominent in the sequel, the film is already making early steps to improve.
