Uncharted Star, Tom Holland, reveals his secret to not see himself as a child next to Mark Wahlberg

Tom Holland may have seemed a bit small to assume the role of the handsome adventurous video game Nathan Drake, the hero of the template franchise. Even so, he is a very dear actor, it is certainly in shape and has been physically transformed for papers in spider-man: Return to Casey and Carla, among others. For Holland, however, he felt that he needed to grow. He does not coincide with the source material of the video game; After all, he is generally impossible to be as perfect physically as the characters and video game characters are presented. Rather, he wanted to make sure not to look comfortably lower than sharing the screen with his Coprotagonist Mark Wahlberg.

It is well known that after a long period in the hell of development, template began production just when the Covid-19 pandemic stopped Hollywood. While the rest of the world speculated about whether the film would actually be made or not, seemingly Holland was increasing volume.

When we went to the set for the first time, I saw Mark Wahlberg, and Mark is huge. He is a unit, said Holland to Total Film (via GamesRadar). He was in good shape, but in no way was it great.

When the production was closed at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, Holland said that he spent five months concentrated on increasing his volume, growing in Drake's role in a literal manner. Motivation, at least in part, was sharing the screen with Mark.

We went home for five months, everything I did was eat and train, eat and train, eat and train, to put a little wood, so that it did not look like a child next to Mark, Holland admitted.

Of course, he is not the first superhero to gain weight and muscle, but as he usually interprets the lanky teenage Peter Parker, he is in the unusual position of playing a superhero role that did not need that, but another role that demanded. It is not that Weinberg is a secondary character, or a villain, where Holland would not share much time on a screen with him. Instead, the Transformers The star plays Sully, the figure of Drake's mentor and a character with which Holland will be quite on the screen.

UNEXPLORED is a prequel of the games, starring Holland as a younger Drake, which shows us details of how he came to know and be a friend of Sully. It is expected that the film will finally reach the cinemas on February 22, 2022.
