Tom Holland and Chris Pratt are reportedly pegged to star in the Jak and Daxter movie adaptation.
That's according to film industry leaker MyTimeToShineHello, who has a reliable track record of reporting on Marvel-related movie news. Holland is being prepped as Jak, while Pratt is being «eyed» to voice Daxter.
Additionally, MyTumeToShineHello said Uncharted movie director Ruben Fleischer will be directing this adaptation.
Fleischer first revealed he was working on a Jak and Daxter adaptation back in 2022. In February of last year, the director said he believed this series would be «really cool to bring to life». And, of course, he has experience of working with Holland, who starred in Uncharted as protagonist Nathan Drake.
Perhaps coincidentally, Holland has previously suggested he would be keen to take on the role of Jak in any Jak and Daxter adaptation. Last year, the actor stated he would like to see «a really weird and dark» live-action version of the games told.
Pratt, meanwhile, is no stranger to voicing video game characters, having provided his vocal stylings to Mario in this year's blockbuster hit, The Super Mario Bros. Movie.
Holland and Pratt have worked together previously, with the duo voicing brothers in Disney Pixar's fantasy animation Onward.
Eurogamer has asked Sony for comment.

Earlier this year, Sony teased it had «more than 10 projects in development and production between the film and television groups».
This includes a Horizon Zero Dawn TV series, the second season of the critically acclaimed The Last of Us and the recently released Gran Turismo film, to name a few.
visual effects production supervisor Stephane Ceretti has spoken about filming Rocket’s intense flashbacks from the Marvel Studios sequel.
Whether we like it or not, the role of Mario is no longer solely owned by Charles Martinet. He has been the gaming icon’s voice for many years, and gamers have gotten used to how he sounds as the character. So much so that when a certain animated movie came out and cast Chris Pratt in the role, many weren’t amused. However, as noted by both Martinet and Nintendo, he’s not leaving the company, nor is he retiring from voice acting. Instead, he will be the newly created role of “Mario Ambassador.” A title that still has some things to be explained.
The potential has been on the minds of Marvel fans ever since the release of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, which featured Rocket’s origin story and saw the rag-tag team race against time to save his life after Rocket is nearly killed by Adam Warlock.
Ever since No Way Home hit theaters, has been highly anticipated by fans across the globe. It is set to continue Peter Parker’s story after the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home. It will possibly begin a new trilogy taking place during Peter Parker’s college years. But when is it coming out?
The first trailer for Society of Snow, a new Netflix movie based on the true events of a '70s plane crash in the Andes mountains, is here, promising a hard-hitting and emotional look at the real-life tragedy.
Charles Martinet has been the voice of Nintendo's mascot Mario since 1996, but no more. Nintendo has announced that the actor is to step down from the role, and will instead act as a «Mario ambassador» in the future, which is all rather ceremonial and full of pomp for a gig that mainly involves shouting «wa-hoo!»
Charles Martinet, the original voice actor of Mario, is retiring after 27 years and and will now serve as a «Mario Ambassador», Nintendo has confirmed.
In February 2022 Uncharted director Ruben Fleischer announced that not only is he working on a Jak & Daxter and he had such a time working with Tom Holland that he was hoping to get him to voice a character in the film.
Charles Martinet is stepping back as the voice of Mario in Nintendo games.
When Nintendo first dropped the trailer for Super Mario Bros. Wonder a number of sharp-eared fans noticed something a little different about the game – it sounded like someone else was voicing the game. But that must have been a mistake! Charles Martinet has reliably provided the voice for Mario (and Luigi, Wario, Waluigi, and others) for years! Sure, Chris Pratt lent his pipes to the new movie, but Nintendo wouldn’t replace Charles in the actual games, right?
Martinet is «stepping back» from voicing Mario and transitioning into a new role.
Charles Martinet, the voice actor who has portrayed Mario since 1991, is stepping down, Nintendo announced Monday morning. Besides voicing the world’s most famous plumber, the 67-year-old Martinet also portrayed Luigi, Wario, Waluigi and the baby versions of these characters in more than one hundred titles across the Mario video game franchise.
