Naughty Dog's "Uncharted" franchise has been a smashing success, with the latest title "Uncharted 4: A Thief's End" getting high praises from critics and gamers alike.

So what's next for a huge franchise like "Uncharted?" Movie adaptations, of course.

Talking to Daily Star, actor Nolan North, the voice of "Uncharted" protagonist Nathan Drake, confirmed that the movie is being planned.

When asked who he wants to play as Nathan, North mentioned "Guardians of the Galaxy" star Chris Pratt. North, who also did the motion capture for Nathan Drake, said that Pratt will do the "Uncharted" hero justice.

"He's vulnerable, he's kinda funny, he's kinda that hero with a smirk, cocky and confident," North said. "That scene when he says 'I'm Starlord', that's such a Drake moment."

The studio previously made an offer to Pratt,but he reportedly turned down the role, according to Hollywood Reporter.

North also agreed that "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." actor Brett Dalton will make a perfect Nathan Drake. Dalton has been highly recommended by fans of "Uncharted". Fans took to Twitter to express their desire for Dalton to snag the role using the hashtag #BrettForNate.

North also said that the actor who is rumored to be in the running for the main role, Mark Wahlberg, will not be suitable for Nathan Drake.

"The last I heard Mark Wahlberg was still in the running, but I really don't see it," North said.

Wahlberg has said in an MTV interview in 2010 that he is confirmed for the role, saying that director David O' Russell is a good friend and is already starting on the script.

"The idea that he has is just insane," Wahlberg said at the time. "So hopefully we'll be making that movie this summer."

O' Russell has since left the production, stating that Sony rejected his script about "an art-heist movie involving a family of international thieves, using the game as a loose template."

In April, "Uncharted" game director Neil Truckmann confirmed that the movie adaptation is being made, but Naughty Dog has only been "somewhat involved" in the development, according to IGN.

"Every once in a while they'll come in and they'll present to us: here's the script, here's what we're thinking. We'll tell them what we think works, what we think doesn't work," Druckman said. "That's where we're at. Last I heard is they got a new screenwriter, but we haven't seen anything in a while."

"Uncharted: Drake's Fortune" is slated for a June 30, 2017 release date.
