Misha Green, the showrunner for HBO’s “Lovecraft Country,” will direct the next “Tomb Raider” film at MGM with Alicia Vikander set to reprise her role as Lara Croft.
The “Tomb Raider” sequel will be Green’s feature directorial debut, though she previously directed episodes of “Lovecraft Country,” which she created, executive produced and worked on as a writer.
The next “Tomb Raider” film will be produced by Graham King via his GK Films banner and Elizabeth Cantillon via The Cantillon Company.
Ben Wheatley, the director of “Free Fire” and “High Rise,” was at one point attached at an early stage of development, but he is no longer attached to the sequel.
