MGM has lost the rights of the popular tomb Raider video game franchise and are now up for grabs to any studio that wants them. According to a report by The Wrap, the studio didn’t officially give the green light to a sequel to the film in time, and the rights have expired. There is now a bidding war with many other studios trying to get their hands on the property. Unfortunately, Alicia Vikander will not be involved.
I thought she looked fantastic in the role of Lara Croft and was looking forward to seeing her reprise the role in the sequel. That sequel had been in development since 2019 and had been developed by Lovecraft country And black canary writer and director Misha Green. The studio didn’t move in time.
Speaking earlier about what the heist was, Vikander said: “With the takeover of MGM and Amazon, I have no idea. Now it’s kind of politics. I think Misha and I were ready, so it’s kind of in the someone else’s hands, to be honest. “
She also teased Green’s vision for the sequel by saying, “I was thrilled to show the world. I love what he did with Lovecraft country“Now, he won’t be able to show it to anyone. Now it looks like we’re going to have just one more reboot in the end, another Lara Croft origin story.
