Tomb Raider was interesting overall but it was pretty bland and predictable for my taste. It will be interesting to see what the upcoming movie will be like. Angelina Jollie is a tough act to follow and you can feel that in the new movie. Alicia Vikander did show her interest in playing Lara Croft in Tomb Raider 2 and here is what she had to say about the role:

Yes, I adored taking on the role of Lara. So yeah, we’ll see. If there’s an audience out there for it, then I would love to.

You might not have enjoyed the first movie but the sequel is in the works. In April we learned that MGM and Warner Bros hired Amy Jump to write the script. Amy Jump worked with Ben Wheatley on Free Fire. She has worked on movies like Kill List, A Field In England, Sightseers, and High-Rise.

Tomb Raider was based on the 2013 game by Crystal Dynamics. If this is a sequel then it could be inspired by Rise of the Tomb Raider. At this point, we are not sure what the plot is but I am sure that fans would be interested in watching a Tomb Raider movie based on Rise of the Tomb Raider.

While we are talking about Tomb Raider, it is worth mentioning that a new game could be coming to the upcoming Xbox Scarlett and PS5.

Let us know what you think about Alicia Vikander returning as Lara Croft in the upcoming Tomb Raider 2 movie and whether or not you are interested in watching it.
