Will there be a sequel to Tomb Raider? Alicia Vikander drops the ball on the roof of the Amazon

The tech giant took over MGM, the film’s production company, a few months ago.

It’s been more than four years since Tomb Raider, the 2013 movie adaptation of the video game of the same name, was released in theaters and everything seems to point to his plans, although a second installment is confirmed very soon in development. MGM They’re at least taking a break with the franchise, but protagonist Alicia Vikander makes it clear that she’s totally ready to reprise the role.

“I think both Misha Green and I are prepared. [para la película]but honestly, the decision is in someone else’s hands,” said the Swedish actress, delighted when Entertainment Weekly asked about the status of the project. Let’s remember that MGM, the producer of the film, is part of Amazon. After the movie studio responsible for the Bond saga was bought by the billionaire.

The first Tomb Raider grossed $257 million in 2018While not as much as Netflix, Amazon is very inclined to punch a hole in its grid into video game adaptations. That’s the case with Fallout, which started filming this week, but there’s also interest in bringing Mass Effect to the small screen, and another project is underway with God of War. Will Lara Croft have a place among all these productions of the technology giant?

In previous statements, Vikander stated that they are ready for anything to start shooting Tomb Raider: Obsidian before the pandemic. But the health crisis has largely passed, and the acquisition and sale of MGM by Amazon seems to have foiled the plans that the legendary studio’s previous leadership had. The first Tomb Raider, let’s remember, earned $275 million at the box office.
