Production[]
In 2015, Adrian Askarieh, producer of the Hitman films, stated that he hoped to oversee a shared universe of Square Enix films with Just Cause, Hitman, Tomb Raider, Deus Ex, and Thief, but admitted that he did not have the rights to make a Tomb Raider film.
Prior to the release of Tomb Raider (2018), Alicia Vikander expressed interest in returning as Lara Croft for a sequel, stating that "If there's an audience out there for it, then I would love to." In April 2019, Amy Jump was hired to write a possible script for Tomb Raider 2, with Vikander attached. In September 2019, Ben Wheatley, Jump's husband, signed on to direct the sequel, with a planned March 19, 2021 release date, and Warner Bros Pictures dropping out of the project. In November 2019, it was announced that filming would start in early 2020 in England.
According to Geek Vibes Nation, principal photography was scheduled to start in April with filming taking place across a number of countries including England, South Africa, Finland and China and looking to deliver a faithful adaptation of the games' story. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, production was delayed until 2021, with filming due to take place in England and South Africa, and the film was removed from the studio's release schedule.
On January 25, 2021, Misha Green signed to replace Jump and Wheatley respectively as writer and director. The film will be released theatrically in the U.S. via Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's distribution and marketing joint venture United Artists Releasing, and internationally through Warner Bros Pictures.
