Heeeeeeeeyyy!

Deadline is reporting that yet another director has been dropped from Sony Pictures’s film adaptation of Uncharted. This time around, Bumblebee‘s Travis Knight has been ousted from the position due to scheduling conflicts caused by star Tom Holland’s participation in the upcoming Spider-Man: Far From Home sequel:

Uncharted extends Holland’s relationship with the studio. It remains a priority project for the studio, which has seen several directors come and go. The actor will next shoot the next Spider-Man installment in the summer.

Even with this setback, Holland is still set to star as Nathan Drake in the Uncharted film, which will serve as a prequel to the video game franchise. Mark Wahlberg is also still under contract to portray Drake’s mentor, Victor “Sully” Sullivan. However, the film’s previously-announced December 2020 release date has been pushed back yet again as Sony renews their search for a director willing to take it on.

Knight is the sixth director to leave the Uncharted adaptation, and it’s very possible I already made that Queen joke up top in a previous update to this story.
