One of gamings most prolific adventurers is making her way back to the big screen for a sequel to 2018's Tomb Raider film.
Warner Bros. and MGM confirmed the news and announced that Alicia Vikander has signed up to return as Lara Croft. Amy Jump, best known for her work on Free Fire, Kill List and High-Rise is set to write the script.
2018's Tomb Raider had mixed reviews from both fans and critics alike, yet still managed to gross over $270 million at the box office with a production budget of around $100 million.
No other plot or cast announcements have been confirmed yet, but it's safe to expect a continuation of the story started in last years movie reboot.
I was one of the few that had a fun time with the last film, so I'm looking forward to seeing what the crew do with the sequel. Let's hope the writers don't draw inspiration from the recent Shadow of the Tomb Raider.
