Uncharted 2
Meanwhile, the latest edition of The Ankler (via Comic Book) reports an Uncharted sequel is also now in development at Sony.
Yes, Uncharted is a franchise now. Sony hasn’t officially confirmed a sequel, but the film did pretty respectable pandemic business, taking in $US400 ($555) million worldwide, and [Tom] Holland has discussed the likelihood of a sequel in past interviews. The studio has been unusually quiet, but seeing as how Uncharted is currently the third-highest-grossing video game adaptation domestically, and the fourth-highest-grossing worldwide, you can safely assume another Nathan Drake adventure is in the works. Ultimately, it’s [Sony Pictures CEO Tom] Rothman’s call, but in his President’s Day memo to colleagues, he seemed excited about another instalment.
Spider-Man 4
The same Ankler report also states “plans are in motion” for a fourth Spider-Man movie starring Tom Holland.
OK, so Sony may not have the biggest bench in terms of franchises, but it wisely made a deal with Marvel Studios to get its marquee character Spider-Man into the MCU, which helped make the studio’s solo Spidey movies must-sees, even more so. And while plans are in motion for another Spidey trilogy starring Tom Holland, I don’t believe he has actually signed a deal yet, so those plans remain unofficial for now. That said, I’m sure that more Spidey adventures with Holland are a top priority for Rothman & Co., which is also counting on him as the anchor of its budding Uncharted franchise as well.
Halloween Ends
In a new interview with Syfy, John Carpenter described Halloween Ends as a “departure” from David Gordon Green’s previous two movies.
Well, it’s Halloween, and it ends. You’ll see it’s a departure from the others. It’s interesting. Dave is a really good director. I love working with him.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
Appearing as a guest on the 7th Rule podcast (via Trek Movie), Strange New Worlds writer and co-executive producer Davy Perez revealed Hemmer actor Bruce Horak will eventually return to the show in a different role.
The thing we’re allowed to say is that Bruce Horak…his relationship with Trek is not over. We really love him. And Star Trek has a long tradition of reusing actors. There are plenty of people that you fall in love with and you’re like, ‘Well, they were an alien, they could be another alien, they could be without the makeup because they were an alien.’ So whatever it is in the future, we know his relationship with Star Trek is not over.
