![]() ![]() Despite Vikander’s return to the role, it will be interesting to see if they treat this film as a soft reboot given what is sure to be a long gap between the films and a new creator at the helm. The Tomb Raider movie sequel was originally set to release in May of this year, but that is obviously not happening both because of COVID-19 and, now, because Misha Green is clearly just getting started on it. Alicia Vikander portrayed Lara Croft in the film Tomb Raider (2018) and its upcoming sequel, Tomb Raider 2. Green seems to be an acknowledgment of this and could make something special alongside Vikander, who deserved a better movie for a character she seems to care about. Tomb Raider could definitely be a winner if they put the effort and talent into making the movie. MGM is looking for successful franchises right now as the industry consolidates and Bond seems to never be releasing. ![]() It also feels like a step up from Ben Wheatley, who was originally tapped to direct the sequel, though Wheatley has some creative films under his belt. Alicia playing in a Tomb Raider Netflix series, that stays true to the games plots or world building, would be a dream come true. This definitely adds a bit of credibility to the franchise as the first film felt more like a budget take with schlock director Roar Uthaug helming the movie and the screenplay feeling pretty basic. It woulda been so much better if they sticked to the original plot instead of cutting it in pieces and replacing it with cliche plot lines. This will be Green’s first feature film, but she broke out this year with her smash hit HBO show Lovecraft Country, which she acted as showrunner and producer for. MGM has announced that it’s tapped Misha Green to write and direct the next Tomb Raider movie, which will see Alicia Vikander return to the role after she rebooted the franchise in 2018. Lara Croft is gearing up to pull on her dirty tank top and shoot some arrows on the big screen again.
