Work on Tomb Raider 2 has been ongoing since 2019, and Misha Green ( Lovecraft Country ) is in talks to write and direct. As Vikander said, both she and Green are excited to work on the project, but it may still be at a standstill due to recent behind-the-scenes changes at MGM, the studio behind the film.
“I have no idea what it will be like with the buyout of MGM. It’s a kind of politics now, ”explained Vikander.
Last year, Green shared the first draft of a sequel script to social media. Tomb Raider: Obsidian is currently a working title. Sequel is just one of several high-profile projects Green is working on, as she also writes the screenplay for DC Black Canary , starring Jurnee Smollett.

“The scenario will come out very quickly. Misha Green is extremely hardworking. I hope COVID will not stop working, “Vikander confirmed for ComicBook.com in an interview in 2021.
The 2018 Tomb Raider tells the story of Lara Croft (Alicia Vikander), the fierce and independent daughter of a lost adventurer who discovers the island where her father, Lord Richard Croft (Dominic West) disappeared.
