The Tomb Raider movie sequel is reportedly set for release on Mar. 19, 2021 with director Ben Wheatley at the helm. The news first broke on Deadline, and IGN can independently confirm its accuracy. Production on the movie is said to begin early 2020.
Alicia Vikander is said to be back in the main role as Lara Croft, a character that was first introduced in the 1996 video game Tomb Raider.
Wheatley previously directed the movies High Rise starring Tom Hiddleston and Free Fire starring Brie Larson. It was previously reported in April that Amy Jump, a writer for both of those movies, was hired to write the Tomb Raider sequel.
