Green was brought on to the project in January, following the departure of Ben Wheatley and writer Amy Jump. The Tomb Raider sequel was originally scheduled to enter production in April 2020, with its release scheduled for March 19, 2021. The project was forced to be delayed due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, with MGM eventually removing the film from its release schedule entirely owing to worldwide theater closures.
Tomb Raider hit theaters in 2018 to mixed reviews from both critics and audiences. The film grossed $274.7 million worldwide on a budget of $90 million. The movie adapted the events of characters of Square Enix’s 2013 video game of the same name, as well as Rise of the Tomb Raider. While details of the sequel are scare, it was previously reported that the second film instalment would adapt Shadow of the Tomb Raider.
Written and directed by Misha Green, Tomb Raider 2 stars Alicia Vikander. The film currently has no release date.
