A brand new Tomb Raider movie seems to be within the works. According to Deadline (through Eurogamer) the brand new undertaking now has a author, and can see Oscar-winning actress Alicia Vikander return within the title position.
MGM and Warner Bros have reportedly employed author Amy Jump for the position. Jump is greatest recognized for Free Fire (which starred Captain Marvel herself, Brie Larsson) and a set of different collaborations along with her associate, cult UK director Ben Wheatley.
Graham King, who produced Best Picture-nominated Bohemian Rhapsody, in addition to the primary Tomb Raider movie (which got here out final yr) can also be returning for the undertaking, alongside Elizabeth Cantillon, however there’s no phrase on a brand new director. The first movie vaguely adopted the occasions of 2013’s Tomb Raider videogame reboot, and its ending left the door open for a sequel, nevertheless it’s not clear whether or not the subsequent movie will observe within the footsteps of Lara’s newest outings on PC. Rise of the Tomb Raider and Shadow of the Tomb Raider launched in 2015 and 2018, respectively.

Elsewhere, nonetheless, the franchise seems to be in good well being. Shadow of the Tomb Raider’s producer lately stated he’d be “extremely surprised” if Lara didn’t show up again in some form or another, though he didn’t point out what he could be engaged on subsequent.
As for the movie itself, my extraordinarily chilly take is that it was, effectively, alright. I’d even go as far as to say that it was fairly good so far as videogame films go, though I acknowledge that’s a particularly low bar to clear.
