Is There a Post-Credit Scene in 'Uncharted'?

The adventures of Nathan "Nate" Drake and his mentor Victor "Sully" Sullivan have arrived on the big screen, with a swashbuckling action flick starring Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg.

Based on Naughty Dog's iconic game franchise, Uncharted follows the two characters as they embark on an epic quest to find the lost fortune of Magellan before the ruthless Santiago Moncada (Antonio Banderas) gets there first.

But even when the credits roll on Nate and Sully's first journey together as a team, that doesn't mean that's all there is to it.

Is There a Post-Credit Scene for 'Uncharted'?

In a word, yes, there is a post-credit scene which teases more to come in the film's universe. In fact there are two.

After their initial foray into treasure hunting it is clear that Nate and Sully make a good team, even if their first adventure didn't prove as lucrative as the latter might have hoped.

But no matter, because the duo are still very much in action. A post-credit scene opens with Nate taking part in a shady deal in a bar with an equally shady villain named Gage, portrayed by Pilou Asbaek.

Gage works for a mysterious client who is seeking Nate's ring, which was originally owned by Sir Francis Drake and was given to him by his brother Sam.

Nate tells Gage he will give him the ring if he gives him what he wants, an old Nazi map that no doubt leads to buried treasure of some kind.

Gage takes the ring and then turns on Nate, pointing a gun at him so he can take the relic and keep the map.

Luckily, Nate anticipated this betrayal and Sully arrives just in time —with his trademark moustache and his cat in his backpack— to help.

Sully points his own gun at Gage, giving Nate the opening he needs to take the villain's weapon off him and get the map.

As they are leaving, Nate then reveals that not only did he take the map he also swiped his ring back from around Gage's neck.

Nate and Sully get away successfully, but they only walk a few steps before they are stopped by a character who is standing behind the camera.

While it's not made clear who the person stopping them in their tracks is, it's apparent that neither Nate nor Sully are particularly pleased to see them.

The other post-credit scene is one fans of the games are going to be very excited about.

Nate has searched for his brother Sam for the majority of the film, desperate to find him after he went off on his treasure-hunting adventures when his sibling was still too young to go with him.

During his travels around the globe Sam met Sully, and the pair worked together on a few missions before one went sideways.

Earlier in the film Sully told Nate that his brother is dead. He explained that he had been shot by assailants after they were pinned down during an expedition, adding that he was lucky to make it out alive himself.

The other post-credit scene reveals that this is, in fact, not the case. Sam is very much alive and he is locked up in a prison cell.

The audience are not shown Sam's full face in the scene, but he is seen smiling as he writes his brother another postcard from jail.

Rudy Pankow portrayed a young Sam alongside Tiernan Jones' young Nate, and it may well be that Sam's face was hidden so that the identity of the actor playing him as an adult remains a secret until a possible sequel.

Uncharted is out in cinemas in the U.K. now and it will receive a theatrical release in the U.S. from Friday, February 18.
