Nolan North Cameos in the 2022 Movie

Right after the movie recreates that cargo plane sequence, Nate and Chloe wash up on a beach and bump into a random sunbather who nods along like he's heard it all before. That's Nolan North himself, the actual voice of Drake in the games, getting a blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo in a scene lifted from his own game.

A New Composer Took Over the Score

This was the first mainline Uncharted where Greg Edmonson didn't handle the main score. Henry Jackman stepped in instead and wrote a new take on Nate's Theme, blending the old melody with a rougher, more piratey feel for a track simply titled A Thief's End.

The Protagonists That Almost Were

Before settling on Chloe, Naughty Dog kicked around a few other ideas for who should lead this spin-off, including Victor 'Sully' Sullivan, Uncharted 3's Charlie Cutter, and even Cassie Drake, Nathan and Elena's daughter, who'd only been glimpsed as an adult in Uncharted 4's epilogue.
