Graham King will produce the new Tomb Raider under his GK Films banner alongside Elizabeth Cantillon of The Cantillon Company. Alicia Vikander is expected to reprise her role as Lara Croft from the 2018 release of Tomb Raider, which grossed around $275 million at the box office. The latest installment is just one in a series of new films produced by MGM’s Film Group, including projects from Idris Elba, Harpo Films, Tiffany Haddish, and Billy Porter.
Green has several releases on the horizon, The Mother, which she wrote, produced, and sold to Netflix. She’s also working on Cleopatra Jones’s production with Warner Brothers and The Gilded Ones with Makeready.
No word yet on when the newest Tomb Raider will be released, but we can’t wait!
Congratulations, Misha!
