Although it’s only a brief snippet of the upcoming film, it still provides us with a new look at Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg’s chemistry as Nathan Drake and Victor Sullivan.
The film is currently slated to arrive in theaters on February 18, 2022, which sees the action-adventure film going up against two competitors in the form of Paramount Pictures’ new animated film Rumble and Michael Bay’s newest action-thriller Ambulance starring Jake Gyllenhaal.
