MGM & Warner Bros Starts Climb Toward ‘Tomb Raider 2,’ Amy Jump To Write Script

EXCLUSIVE: Get ready for another Tomb Raider with Alicia Vikander. MGM and Warner Bros have hired Amy Jump to write the script for the sequel. Sources said Vikander liked what she was in Jump’s scripting.

She is best known for her collaborations with director and partner Ben Wheatley, who co-wrote several of them. That includes Free Fire, the action drama that starred Brie Larson, Cillian Murphy and Armie Hammer. Her other credits include the Wheatley-directed Kill List, A Field In England, Sightseers, and High-Rise. The films are cult favorites in the UK. She broadens the pool of female action writers, who are now in high demand. Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Alastair Siddons wrote the first installment. Warner Bros released the first film.


Directed by Roar Uthaug, Tomb Raider grossed $274 million worldwide, turning the Oscar-winning Swedish actress Vikander into an action heroine after a string of prestige pics and sci-fi like Ex Machina. Graham King’s GK Films is back as producer after an exhilarating run with Bohemian Rhapsody. Elizabeth Cantillon also is producing.

The 2017 video game film adaptation, Tomb Raider, has a sequel currently in development. While progress has been hindered by a variety of different issues ranging from changes to its director and writers, Tomb Raider 2 now has a potential title and more.

The film's current director and writer Misha Green recently teased that her first draft for the film has been completed. Green posted an image of the cover page, which featured a title for the film, Tomb Raider: Obsidian, though it has yet to be approved. "Still a long journey to production. Title's not even approved... But first draft finished!!!" The screenwriter stated.

Green was brought on to the project in January, following the departure of Ben Wheatley and writer Amy Jump. The Tomb Raider sequel was originally scheduled to enter production in April 2020, with its release scheduled for March 19, 2021. The project was forced to be delayed due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, with MGM eventually removing the film from its release schedule entirely owing to worldwide theater closures.

Tomb Raider hit theaters in 2018 to mixed reviews from both critics and audiences. The film grossed $274.7 million worldwide on a budget of $90 million. The movie adapted the events of characters of Square Enix's 2013 video game of the same name, as well as Rise of the Tomb Raider. While details of the sequel are scare, it was previously reported that the second film instalment would adapt Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

Written and directed by Misha Green, Tomb Raider 2 stars Alicia Vikander. The film currently has no release date.
