I'm not that big into the Spider-Man Universe although I am interested now because they told
me about this whole multiverse but I had no idea what that was.
My kids have seen the movie, they love it and they're big, big fans
I'm not asking Tom Holland for any fitness tips. I've got way too
much fitness experience and you know he wouldn't even come to the gym
You must have asked him though
Yeah, a little bit but he just basically asked permission to use my gym during the entire
production but he never showed up to actually work out with me
If the fans really love the movie and they want another one and there is that demand and we
can make it better than the first then I would because I’m not really in the sequel business
I was always excited about being involved in the Uncharted Universe and bringing it to the
big screen and you know they figured the best way in was kind of now making these
characters a little bit younger. So, it would have been ridiculous for me anyway to try to play
Nate, at 20 years old and Tom did a fantastic job and I really appreciated the opportunity to play Sully.
Sully is the kind of guy who has all the wisdom, the experience and also, I love that he's kind
of lives in that gray area you don't know if you can trust him or not. And I’ve only played a
villain I think twice now so you know I would say we can convert Sully but you know it's
still I loved you know that he was you know a complicated character
Hi Mark, welcome to Pinkvilla .
Nice to see you. Nice to see you as well. Firstly, you know I feel like Uncharted is such a
long time coming because you yourself associated this project where you were supposed to
play Nate and now, you're playing Sully. So, I wanted to ask you about that progression you
know of switching sides between Nate to Nate’s mentor, how is that for you?
It was a long process. I mean it just shows you how fast time flies. I'm getting old and
you know it was one of those things where I was always excited about being involved in the
Uncharted universe and bringing it to the big screen and you know they figured the best way
in was kind of now making these characters a little bit younger. So, it would have been
ridiculous for me anyway to try to play Nate at 20 years old and Tom did a fantastic job and I
really appreciated the opportunity to play Sully. He's a very different kind of character. Nate
is this kind of young, naive kid who is very smart when it comes to the history and cracking
certain puzzles and things of that nature but Sully is the kind of guy who has all the wisdom,
the experience and also, I love that he's kind of lives in that gray area. You don't know if you
can trust him or not and I’ve only played a villain I think twice now so you know I would say
we can convert Sully but you know it's still I loved you know
that he was you know a complicated character
You know I also have to ask you this because reportedly Tom started working on Uncharted
just two days after wrapping up Spider-Man: No Way Home and you know since you worked
with him in close proximity, did you ask him for any spoilers or anything like that?
I didn't. I'm not that big into the Spider-Man Universe although I am interested now because
they told me about this whole multiverse but I had no idea
what that was. My kids have seen the movie, they love it and they're big fans
And you know I mean obviously with you making 50 look as good as you are and on the
other side, we have Spiderman, I would assume that obviously fitness tips might have been
exchanged but besides that, what did you and Tom you
know bond over, both on screen as well as off screen?
Well, on screen certainly our love and commitment and dedication to our craft and then off screen
you know we're all about our family, we love golf, we love fitness, we love cinema so there
were many, many different things to bond over, over a drink but we didn't really share. I'm
not asking Tom Holland for any fitness tips. I've got way too
much fitness experience and you know he wouldn’t even come to the gym.
He must have asked you though.
Yeah. A little bit but he just basically asked permission to use my gym during the entire
production but he never showed up to actually work out with me.
And finally, I mean obviously Uncharted is already getting so much buzz you know even
before it releases in theatres but would you be open for a sequel? Because you know such
films demand a sequel or a prequel or whatever but you know do would you be open to it?
If the fans really love the movie and they want another one and there is that demand and we
can make it better than the first then I would because I’m not really in the sequel business. I
made a sequel to Transformers because that was part of my deal and then I made a sequel to
Ted. The only other movie that I’m contemplating making a sequel is Spencer Confidential,
the Netflix movie that I did and I love that character and I love
that world. So, but if people really want it, I would be open to it for sure.
Awesome. We can't wait to see you in this and hopefully a
sequel as well. But thank you so much for your time, Mark.
Thank you. Nice talking to you
