The interview was held at the World Premiere of Holland’s most recent film,Onward. At the beginning of the interview, he was asked if he had a favorite video game. Holland replied by stating that one of his “favorite video games ever is the fourthUnchartedgame.” He continued by saying, “lots of the inspiration from the film has come from that game in particular.” This may be because the film is set to be aprequel to theUnchartedgames, andUncharted 4has moments where players take control of a younger Nathan Drake.

In Wahlberg’s absence, the film was reworked for a younger actor to take on the iconic role, which made the casting of Holland possible.
