This just hit me. The guy has played a Nathan Drake-y character in some of his movies, he looks a little bit like him and he's starting to be really popular. I think he'd be a good choice. Sony would satisfy fans by casting a good actor for the role, and they'd have the star-power to attract a mass audience. It's true that Nathan Fillion is Nathan Drake, but there's just one thing that would prevent me from hiring the guy if I was producing the movie: he's too old for the part. Sure, he looks attractive and doesn't have grey hair yet, but what if Sony wants to do multiple films? What happens in 6 or 7 years, when he'll be 50 years old?

That's why my wish list has only two dudes now: either Chris Evans or Bradley Cooper. I think both would make a terrific Nathan Drake.

For reasons unknown, I really dislike Chris Evans. I only enjoyed Captain America by pretending that it wasn't Chris Evans.

Chris Evans is tied to be Captain America for 9 movies. He is going to be busy.

Also Bradley Cooper can work.

I hate the very idea of an Uncharted movie or any video game movie for that matter. Luckily most video game movies haven't done too well so Hollywood can stick to doing remakes and super hero movies.

Fuck your opinion

Why get someone in great shape with great timing who's really hot right now at the box office when you can get the bloated cornball low ratings cable star Fillion?

3 captain america movies, 3 avengers films and cameo and small roles in thor and iron man films...

I think some of you are too quick to dismiss him.

I just can't see Chris Evans as Nathan Drake, or any other actor for that matter. Except of course the obvious Nathan Fillion, but yeah I agree he is too old for the part now.

I'd rather see Nolan North.

He's not as old and he IS Nathan Drake.

Sorry, but I have to veto this choice.  Of course, I also vetoed the whole idea of an Uncharted movie, so I guess my vetoes don't actually count for much.

Just make a cgi movie so North can continue to voice him.... I'd watch it. 

My choice is Michael Cera, if he can be Halo, then he can be Nathan Drake.

That could actually work.  
Included for relevance: 
  

He can but for some reason he seems to me like one of the biggest douchebags in the world so I'd rather he won't.

All this talk about uncharted just reminded me how much i want there to be a third National Treasure movie.
 
But on Topic how about Chris Klein? :D
 
Sure he's not very good but maybe he'll pull off something close to his Mumma-mia audition!!

Bradley Cooper...

He's okay, but for the love of God, Bradley Cooper could never ever play Nathan Drake! Ever! One: he looks like Flynn. Two: he isn't that funny. Three: there's already a perfect actor. 

David Hayter should be cast as Nathan Drake. Wouldn't that be something??

Why does there have to be an Uncharted movie? Why can't Hollywood just make its own stories.

I love Chris Evans. So I fully endorse this.

@chrismafuchris: Uncharted isn't exactly an original story...

Its amazing, yes, but still

Chris Evans is way too brolic now to play Nathan Drake and he's gonna have to stay that way for Captain America. I read an interview with him about his regime to stay Cap-riffic and I can't imagine him yo-yoing that to play Drake.

But yeah, he was awesome as Lucas Lee. Hell, Brandon Routh's Todd was gajillionty times more badass than his Superman too.

Nah I'm good with no Uncharted movie. Plus I can't stand Chris Evans as an actor. There are very few movies hes been in that I can honestly say I enjoyed. Only one comes to mind is Sunshine but even then he wasn't the main reason why I really enjoyed that movie. His bad movies(F4 1 and 2, Perfect Score, Street Kings, The Losers etc) way outnumber his good movies(Sunshine and Captain America?). I can't speak on him in Captain America because I haven't seen it.

I'd rather see Nolan North.

He's not as old and he IS Nathan Drake.

Fuck your opinion

Chris Evans always seems a little too hard-edged for a charismatic character like ol' half-tuck. There are definitely worse picks though.

Chris Evans is awesome so I'd prefer it if he stayed away from video game movies.

Dear Hollywood,
 
Please don't make this film.
 
Yours etc.

I'd rather see Nolan North.

Chris Evans is rad. I'm sure he could do Nathan Drake. At this point I'd rather that movie just not get made though. Not that I wont go see it when it does come out.

I'd like to see Nolan North play Nathan Drake in a movie version, failing that Bradley Cooper is pretty much spot on for the character.

How about just not making an Uncharted movie?

Anyone is better than Mark Wahlberg.

I kinda hope the new director comes out and says "The one decision that Russel made that we were quite pleased with and decided to keep was the decision to cast Mark Wahlberg as Drake". 
 
Then the whole ordeal will reset and I'll get to watch everyone lose their shit all over again :)

Nolan North has made Nathan Drake his own, I doubt anyone else could play him well enough, it's why I couldn't be less excited for the Uncharted movie (if it ever happens)

Not sure about Drake, but I'd like to see Chris Evans as Jack Reacher. Mark Whalberg would be bad as Drake, he has zero charisma. I think Bradley Cooper would be a good choice, he'd never occured to me before I read this thread.
