Spider-Man star says Uncharted movie stunts were the biggest and hardest he’s filmed

Actor Tom Holland has described the stunts he filmed for the Uncharted movie as the biggest and toughest of his career.

The actor best known for playing Spider-Man stars as young treasure hunter Nathan Drake in the upcoming Uncharted film.

In a new behind the scenes video which you can watch below, Holland discussed filming the ‘Plane Fight’ scene, which is a set-piece inspired by Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception’s Stowaway chapter.

Sony recently released two and a half minutes of Uncharted footage showing off the Plane Fight scene, which sees Drake attempting to stop himself being ejected from a cargo plane’s ramp door and engaging in mid-air combat.

“In Uncharted, I was shooting stunts that are far bigger than anything I’ve done before,” Holland said. “The sequence where we’re flying out the back of the plane on the boxes, we must have shot that for five weeks, almost every day.

“At times I’d be like 100 foot in the air, attached to a box that’s spinning, and then I would basically hang on until it would throw me off. And it was really scary, but I think that level of fear just makes that scene that much more authentic. It’s the hardest action sequence I’ve ever made.”

Following a six-month delay, the Uncharted movie is scheduled to hit theatres on February 18, 2022.
