The stakes couldn't be higher as Lara must rely on her sharp mind, blind faith and stubborn spirit to venture into the unknown and unravel the truth.ĭirected by Roar Uthaug with a screenplay by Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Alastair Siddons, the movie is based on the hugely popular Tomb Raider video game series and stars Dominic West, Walton Goggins, Daniel Wu, and Kristin Scott Thomas appear in supporting roles alongside Alicia Vikander in the title role. Hoping to solve the mystery of her father's disappearance, Croft embarks on a perilous journey to his last-known destination, a fabled tomb on a mythical island that might be somewhere off the coast of Japan. Vikander first played the famous video game role in 2018's Tomb Raider, which follows the actress as Lara Croft, the fiercely courageous and independent daughter of an eccentric adventurer who vanished years earlier. As recently as last year the movie was even given a release date of March 2021 before MGM pulled the plug, delaying Tomb Raider 2 indefinitely.Īt present, Lovecraft Country showrunner Misha Green is attached to helm the movie, with the writer and director since taking to social media to confirm that she was making progress and even revealing the potential title to be Tomb Raider: Obsidian. With the ongoing global situation halting the project, the video game sequel has also had some trouble finding a director, with Ben Wheatley attached at one stage before stepping away from the project. While Alicia Vikander is clearly holding onto hope that Tomb Raider 2 will eventually get off the ground, it sounds like it's far from a sure thing. But yeah, I'm excited to read scripts and hope that it's something that we'll find a way to make." And so, I can't say anything, because like you said, kind of put everything just up in the air.
A sequel to the 2018 reboot has been pushed and pulled over the last year or so, having been greenlit before being delayed indefinitely, but Vikander is staying positive and cannot wait to star reading scripts for Tomb Raider 2.
Tomb Raider star Alicia Vikander is hopeful that she will reprise the role of iconic adventurer Lara Croft in a sequel.if current circumstances let her.
