Mark Wahlberg has joked that he will need to start growing his moustache to portray Sully again in the upcoming sequel to Uncharted.
Uncharted is based on the video game series of the same name which is one of the most popular franchises in history in terms of sales and reception. It tells the story of Nathan Drake, a treasure hunter who travels the globe searching for artefacts.
For the first movie, Tom Holland starred as Drake while Wahlberg played Sully. Despite receiving mixed reviews, it was a financial success, earning over $400 million at the box office.
In a post-credits scene from Uncharted, Wahlberg is seen sporting Sully's famous moustache - and the moustache is set to return!
Wahlberg recently revealed that he had received a script for the second movie.
"Actually, I just got a call today that they got the script in," he told ScreenRant.
"I can't grow a real beard and moustache, but they said, 'Start growing your moustache. It's gonna take awhile.' I'd be interested to see what the story's like, and where that adventure takes us. But I'm excited; I know audiences really loved the first one, so we'll see."

Uncharted 2 is coming
When asked if Uncharted 2 was coming, producer Charles Roven previously told The Hollywood Reporter:
"Oh yeah! We had a really good time with that movie. The fans really liked the movie, and people who didn’t know anything about the game really liked the movie. So we are definitely looking to make another one of those."
Roven's words come after Sony CEO Tom Rothman hailed Uncharted as the start of a new "franchise" for the studio in an internal memo.
"With over $100M in box office worldwide in just one weekend, and a 90% positive audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, Uncharted is a new hit movie franchise for the company," the memo read.
"This marks a great victory for every single division of the company, as the film was our first major production entirely shut down by the advent of Covid, yet we persevered to complete a picture the audience loves and marketed and distributed it with strategic verve worldwide, despite the pandemic."
