In this world, anywhere you may go, you will find that every field of profession is highly competitive, and you need to compete to make a name for yourself. The Hollywood industry is different, and only the best will be called true stars. Thankfully, MCU star Tom Holland knew this very well, and his perseverance and hard work is the reason why he is one of the faces of the new young blood merging in the industry.
And when it comes to making a name for himself, he has already achieved that feat by becoming Marvel Studio’s Spider-Man in the MCU. But despite all the effort he put into the aforementioned role, he still feels that it was nothing compared to the sheer motivational kick he got when he shot this film with industry veteran Mark Wahlberg.
Tom Holland Was Pushed To Bring His Best Against Mark Wahlberg In Uncharted
While many may have seen him in various films in the past from Hollywood, his most popular and iconic role was as Spider-Man in the MCU, something that Tom Holland worked religiously for. But even with five films in the cinematic universe and almost a decade of time and effort, he still felt like he was a novice when he got the chance to work with Hollywood veteran Mark Wahlberg in their film Uncharted.

In a past interview, the Cherry star was talking about his then-upcoming film. Here he revealed that despite being a hard worker, he always felt like he was lacking in comparison to his co-star, who is famous for his strict work ethic and even stricter fitness regime. He revealed that as he was still a young buck in the industry, there were many things that he was learning from his seniors, which gave him both knowledge and the motivation to bring out his best during the filming. He said:
“What’s happening on screen is also happening off screen. I’m very much the young kid in Hollywood who’s coming up, and Mark is the OG he’s been doing this longer than I’ve been alive, Mark was showing me the ropes and made me want to bring the best of myself, to show what I could do. As we brought these characters to life, it was nice to see the synergy between Mark and I and between Nate and Sully,”
While the film wasn’t able to impress the world with its critical reviews, it was still a smashing success at the worldwide box office with a total collection of $401 Million.
